I've been exploring some of the uses for the
Petal Card Die for my
Big Shot machine. Who knew that this die could be used for so much more that the expected basic Petal Card? I've made a
hanging heart candy holder,
a square candy holder, corner bookmarks and a
hanging heart box so far; today I have a darling little box that is useful for so many occasions!
I cut a 5.5" square of
Basic Black cardstock and scored it with the scoring blade on my
12" Paper Trimmer 1.5" from each edge to make the base of the box. For the lid, I stamped a piece of
Whisper White cardstock with the desired image; I used the
I {Heart} Hearts set and stamped the filagree heart in
Basic Black and the dotted line heart in
Real Red. This was die cut with the
Big Shot and the
Petal Card Die then folded on the score lines.
Scallop Circle Punches of
Real Red like little red petticoats peek out from (and form) the corners of the lid for a colorful element!
A tie of luxurious
Real Red Satin Ribbon encircles the box; hearts stamped with the same set, punched with the
Small Heart Punch (new!) and the
Trio Heart Punch are adorned with a single red
Rhinestone Brad and set atop the box for the final touch!
The final dimensions of the box are 2.5" square by 1.5" deep. Can't you just see these boxes used for everything from handcrafted gift boxes for those very special small gifts, wedding and shower favors, Valentine's, birthdays or any occasion. Just stamp and decorate accordingly and you'll make a big hit with them!
***Remember that $2. from every
I {Heart} Hearts set purchased until February 28 will be donated to the Haiti relief fund by Stampin' Up!
