Petal Cone Die Tuxedo Valentine's Box

I made this box for my husband for Valentine's Day.

I plan to fill it with his favorite, chocolate covered caramels.

I made it with 2 Real Red and 1 Basic Black hearts that I cut using the 

Big Shot Petal Cone Die (#121810).

The Real Red hearts are the base on the top and bottom.  I folded the Basic Black heart in half lengthwise and free cut the design in the center for the Whisper White shirt.  I used my Crimping Tool to make the tuxedo ribs, secured the piece of Whisper White to the Basic Black.  The box itself is embossed with the hearts Adorning Accents Folder (#125601).  

The bow tie and the handkerchief are punched with the Small Heart Punch (#117193).  The buttons  are Brights Glimmer Brads (#121006).  The small circle in the center of the bow tie is punched from the eye on the Owl Builder Punch (#118074).

For My Wonderful Mother Paper Doily Card

I made this card as a swap for my group's quarterly gathering. 

 I love how elegant it turned out.

I used one of the new paper doilies (#129399) from the Spring catalog.  I spritzed it using a mixture of 1/4 Frost White Shimmer Paint (#116854), 3/4 Rubbing Alcohol (70%), and 3 drops of Marina Mist ink refill (#119787) in a Stampin' Spritzer (#126185) to color the doily.  It is important to use 70% Rubbing Alcohol so that it will dry faster.  The flower was made with 3 punched 1 3/4" Scalloped Circles (#119854).  I separated the layers using my bone folder and I secured the layers with a 3/16" Brights Brad (#119740).   

I used Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder and Raspberry Ripple paper.  The tag was made with the Labels Collections Framelits (#125598).  The embellishments are Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon (#122973), Crochet Trim (#118481) and Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247).
