Window Box Thinlits Makes a Cute Valentine Box

Hello Everyone ~ I played with an idea yesterday and created a Window Box Thinlits Makes a Cute Valentine Box.

My washer and dryer came yesterday.  They were a little late so I was worried there would be an issue.  I did get a phone call saying they left later than they thought but they were on their way.  I heard the truck pull into the development and watched.  Where my house is situated it is easy to miss it.  I called them back and explained where I was and they found me.  It took them about 1/2 hour to install both.  After they left I did a quick load to make sure I knew how to operate it.  It is so nice not to have to pack up my laundry and find some place to do it!  I also spent more time organizing my craft room and even made today’s project and my Facebook Live card for tomorrow.  Today I am having my heat pumps serviced then back to my room to do some more organizing and to reward myself by making a few videos!  Such a busy bee lately!

Our challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments this time is an inspiration challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I saw this I saw all the hearts.  I am not a heart person so this was a challenge for me.  I only have 1 stamp set with one heart.  So I thought what about my framelits/thinlits.  I checked them out and while doing that I realized I could use the Window Box thinlits and make a Valentine Box.  When it was completed it was so cute that now I will need to make a second one to put a little treat for the girls in it.  I began by cutting the box out with Berry Burst.  Then I used one of the cut outs to cut the heart design out of the side panels.  A piece of Whisper White card stock was used to back the cut out.  Now my box was ready to put together.  To decorate the top of my box I used the Lovely Words thinlits to cut out a white heart.  Since it only cuts out the inside of the heart and the word, I used my snips to cut off the word and cut out the heart frame.  Dots of glue were added to the back and the frame was set aside for the glue to set.  To add some more decoration, I used the Berry Burst ombre paper from Color Theory dsp.  I first cut out the strip of hearts from the Window Box thinlits and then I used the Lovely Words thinlits to cut out the word.  I used the lightest part of the dsp for some contrast.  I took the word and cut it off the frame and cut the “ly” off the word.  Dots of glue were then added to the back of the word and it was set aside for the glue to set.  I added the heart frame to the top of the box.  The small hearts were added using glue dots.  To finish off the top, the word was added.  Here is the Window Box Thinlits Makes a Cute Valentine’s Box project.
