Howdy girls: I am shocked that I was able to finally get around to making one of these adorable boxes that my bestest gal ANGIE sent me the template of way back in May right after my knee replacement surgery REMEMBER ?( Oh my it has been a long time for that cute pattern just sitting there waiting for me to use it ) This past weekend I made this set and I sooo wish I knew how to share this box template with all of you But I have no clue how to do all that since I just traced her template out onto the Pretty in pink 12x12 cardstock and cut out .. sorry .. maybe one day ANGIE or I will figure out how to make templates on our computers .. anyway .. I used the new SNOW BURST stamp set from Holiday Collection Mini with pretty in pink and whisper white cardstock along with brushed silver card stock . I also added silver cord with the pink gingham ribbon also . I stamped on the pretty in pink with the white craft ink pad and then on the whisper white I stamped in pretty in pink ink .I also made the 2 matching cards to go into this cute box using the HOLIDAY & WISHES set for the Merry Christmas saying in Black ink .. I just love the way it all turned out .. Thanks for peeking in today and Thanks you sweet pea for this awesome Box template and your wonderful sample you gave me with all those other goodies ( Love ya ). Hey did you notice my new watermark I made last night I so love this one .. and really love my photo shop elements 5 ..
Updated : Jan Tink & Dawn Easton offered to help make the gift box template Thank you girls sooo MUCH!! HERE IT IS

Until I read the caption/post, I thought you actually posted something for sweetest day/valentine's day since Laurie talked about valentine's day at our last club meeting.
Very nice!

I love your set. It is pretty in pink. So you know photoshop. I am trying to learn it to and think I will have to break down and go to the college as self learning is hard.

Beautiful set!! The colors are so soft and pretty! Love the frame on the side, I need help with that too!!

I love your work! I also have some pretty good measurements for you.
You take the Love Note Box from the SU website and follow those directions, but change the dimensions to the follow:
Box bottom:
side (w) = 8.25"
length (l)= 9.75"......score at 1.75" on all sides.
Box Top:
side (w) = 6.78"
length (1)= 8.38"......score at 1" on all sides
This will hold at least 5 nicely embellished, standard cards plus envies.

Dawn,
I love this little box set...I tried to re-create this tonight and I was hoping that you could email me how you closed the box...and is the white snowflake with silver at the front of the box or back of the box? I can't really tell how you actually put it together. Any help you have would be appreciated.
I love your blog...btw.
