Valentine's 2-5-7-10 Box

The cards are made with all of the ingredients from my last post, with one exception: the large (5 1/2 square card has nifty circular scalloped paper on it--which is accented with paper punched dots.) The 2-5-7-10 Box is one of my favourites. There's a great tutorial for it here on splitcoaststampers. It's really easy to make. I always make one change to the tutorial though: before step 8, I like to score in the middle of the side panels (1" in--3/4 of the way down.) Then, "Line up front of box with back of box at top and pinch together. Release." Scoring ensures a perfect fold every time.

To make these projects I used:

Stamps: Simply Said & Stitched Background for the scallop tag. Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Cameo Coral, Basic Black, Berry Bliss designer series paper, My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie paper Je t'aime "love" TJ1090 & Mon Cheri "girl" TJ1155, Making Memories scallop circle paper. My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie Stickers. Ink: Black Craft, Really Rust Craft, Cameo Coral Accessories: brads, ribbon from Michael's dyed with Rose Red reinker. Stampin Up black grosgrain, Sakura glue pen & silver e.p. (to emboss the hearts), white Signo gel pen, glitter, SU scallop punch, Giga scallop punch. Techniques: Emboss resist & Glue pen embossing (and glue pen resist)
