Candy Box!

Hubby is such a chocolate freak!!! SO while I was out shopping the other day I saw these Russell Stover Caramel hearts and I bought them just for a project like this. At the time I bought them I didn't have this die but once it arrived at my front door I knew what my first project with it would be!!!

I usually don't buy him candy for Valentine's Day but I REALLY wanted to make some decorative boxes and put them on my blog and this was sort of like killing two birds with one stone. I got to make my box and he gets candy for Valentine's Day!!! Lucky guy. Hon, if you're reading this you now see that this candy WAS going to be for you!!! But you snuck a peek and oh well, so sad for you!!! LOL

Now a bit about this box. I cut a piece of 12" x 12" card stock in half. I ran the half through the Big Shot with the Shaker Box die and it comes out all scored and ready to put together. Even the window is in it!!! You just have to stamp on it, add a piece of acetate and put it all together. I used the Stampin' Up! wheel "Spunky Spots". It's one of the simpler dies I have worked with. There were no pieces to assemble. It comes out of the machine ready to use!!! This one was a LOT of fun and I can see myself getting a LOT of use out of it, especially for craft fairs this fall. Of course I'll be sure to show you what I make with it for the craft fairs!!!

Thank you SO much for visiting my blog today,
