MORE Valentine stuff???

Yes, please!  I HAD to do something with these epoxy brads with the hearts on them...so I used them to secure my ribbon handles on this open box.

Sorry that I didn't get any of the side of the box - I wanted you to see how big it really is.  It's super easy though!

Use one full sheet of cardstock for the box.  Landscape - score in 4 1/2" from each end.  Portrait - score in 1 1/4" from each side.   Then just cut the score marks and fold up into a box, so the side pieces overlap each other (they only overlap a little bit).  It really is a nice size. 

I also rolled the Very Vintage jumbo wheel all over the cardstock before I put the box together, but it kind of disappears (I did red on red).

Stamps:  I {Heart} Hearts, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Very Vintage jumbo wheel.

Cardstock:  Real Red, Whisper White

Ink:  Real Red

Other:  Top Note die, Big Shot, Small Oval/Large Oval/Scallop Oval punches, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots, White organdy ribbon, Real Red epoxy brads, 1/8" hole punch
