Valentine Top Note Box


First I would like to give credit where it is due, I cased this idea from Lynn Put at www.thequeensscene.blogspot.com. Her original box and directions are under her 3D items January 21, 2008 posting. Yes, I am one of those people who just look around for hours on people's blogs. I think that is why laptops were invented so you can watch tv and be online at the same time. :)

This box was sooo easy to make. This was my first attempt, but I plan on making a version of this in January at my Stamp Camp along with a few other items for Valentine's Day. Look for more info to come on my website under events. I should be posting the details soon.



This is what the box looks like on the inside. I placed a couple of wrapped chocolates inside, but you could place whatever you wanted.


The Top Note die cuts were made from designer paper glued to both sides of a piece of thin cardboard and run through the Big Shot. They are nice and durable.

This box is going to my secret stamper, who has been patiently waiting on me to send her items.

Keep safe and have a happy holiday!
Diane
