Do you want to make something quick & easy for a valentine's gift? I am always looking for ways to jazz up a gift. So I purchased a few boxes of Turtles to give away to the teachers and a dear friend of mine.
Pick your favourite Valentine's Day Paper and cover these boxes.
The fun part comes in decorating them. To make the flowers I used many different flower dies. Then when I assembled them I mixed and matched them.
Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Jumbo Tattered Florals
I cut all of these dies out of white & pink card stock, and also out of pp. When cutting these dies in the Big Shot all you need is a pair of Standard Cutting Pads. Make a sandwich with your die and paper between the cutting pads and roll them through your Sizzix Big Shot machine. I doodled on some and then layered them. Curl the petals between your fingers, they will look more real.Some of the boxes I wrapped with tulle, some with twine. Just a different look.
When I cover the box, you need enough strong adhesive that it will hold. For this I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L- Crafty Power Tape. It worked very well.
If you want to personalize the box, add a tag.I like this small one Sizzix Bigz Die - Tags #5.
Thanks for looking!
