With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought this box would be perfect to fill with candy for a special person! I made the box using Eileen's new Book Box die which is just the perfect size for a small gift of chocolate or anything else!
I created the cover of the box using pink, white, and blue acrylic paints and a Gel Press plate. (Tutorial for using Gel Press here.)
I embellished the front cover with a Heart Mandala die cut. I placed a fussy cut image from Stamperia in the center of the Mandala. Flowers from Little Birdie and a seam binding bow finish off the look.
I added a closure to the box. You can see how I made the closure from a link in this post.
The flowers and bow add lots of dimension to the cover.
On the left side I added a pocket and tag using dies from Eileen's pockets set and Waterfall and Tags set.

Valentine's Card
This is such a fun Valentine that I made with Eileen's new Snail Mail thinlits set and Snail Mail Sentiments stamps. These two sets were made to go together and I just love them! The really cool thing about the thinlits set is that you can cut one big sheet like I used on the front of this card OR you can cut the set of stamps and then tear apart just like real stamps. That's how I made the stamp on the envelope.
To make this card, I cut a stamp panel using just the panel die and then stamped the panel with different stamps from the Stamp - Snail Mail Everyday Sentiments - 6x8 Stamp and a couple other stamps from my stash.
lovely projects Maggi! I especially love the postage card you made. =)
