Valentine Treat Box using Window Box Dies

  • Window Box for Valentine Treats
  • A few spots remain for Card Class this weekend
  • $50 purchases during Sale-a-Bration earns free selection

Valentine Treat Box with Windows


Today I played with the new Window Box Thinlits to make a box to hold Valentine treats.  I looked complex, which I haven't touched it until today.  But it turned out to be easier than I thought.     



Valentine Treat box with cutout windows
  



This die set includes 3 die shapes for different looks on the surface of the box.  I used the die that created a number of  flowers that gave the box a very delicate look.  You can leave the openings plain or place vellum or cardstock or foil sheets behind the cut outs to give the box different looks.  


Window Box includes 3-D banner label





The die set also includes a die that makes the wide banner with folded ends,  I used the sentiment from Sealed with Love and the die cut heart from the matching Love Notes Framelits Dies. The die set include addition windows for the sides of the box and a tag.  I really like the finished look of this box.   Take a look at the video below to see how easily this box goes together.  

Recipe:


Stamps: Sealed with Love
Ink:  Real Red
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack 
Accessories:  Window Box Thinlits, Love Notes Framelit Dies, Precision Base Plate, Die Brush, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Big Shot Platform with adapter for thin dies

    • Reminder:  Watercolor pencils on backorder
    • Only 2 spots remain for Card class this weekend

    Bloomin' Heart


    Here's a quick card using the Gold foil sheets die cut and the Blooming Heart Thinlit.     



      



    This card also uses the Delicate Details stamp from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to create the lace boarder.  It took a while to figure out how to set it up and it required a bit of masking to line up the top and sides.  The paper is the Falling In Love Designer Series paper and the cardstock is Tip Top Taupe. 






    The center of each flower includes a Metallic Enamel Shape.  The ribbon is 5/8" Gold Satin Ribbon.  This card could easily ber used as a Wedding card, by changing the sentiment to "Congratulations" or a wedding sentiment.

    Stamps: Bloomin' Love
    Ink:  Tip Top Taupe, VersaMark
    Paper: Tip Top Taupe,Whisper White, Falling in Love Designer Series Paper
