A Valentine Box

   I haven't really played much with the new Petal Cone die. Other than the base for my Easter Egg Tree (found Here), I haven't touched it. I have no excuses. 

  I have seen a few projects using the Petal Cone die to make a heart and heart pouches. I decided to take it a step further and make a Valentine box. You know how I love the Box #2 Bigz die? Well I incorporated it into my Valentine project to make this.

   To make this project I cut 4 "hearts" with the Petal Cone die: 2 hearts from Love Letters dsp, and 2 hearts from Riding Hood Red cardstock and one Box #2. 

   The scalloped circle, handle and banner across the front are all pieces from the Petal Cone die. I don't like to waste cardstock so I incorporated them into the project. 

  A little bit of stamping with the Valentine Defined stamp set, and some embellishments including some Red Glimmer Paper hearts, finished off the box. Inside the box is a place to hold some special holiday treats for that special Valentine in your life.
