A co-worker asked for a Valentine Milk Carton Box for her daughter. I just received my PaperTrey order and knew I wanted to use my new stamps on this box. I love the way this turned out and found it difficult to give away. LOL! Here's the link to Beate's tutorial on the box. Milk Carton Box Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
My box is Real Red cs stamped with the smaller blossom from the Spiral Bouquet set by PaperTrey Ink. (It's a very pretty two-step stamping set.) I stamped the first part of the flower with White Craft Ink and then the second part of the flower with Basic Black. A dob of Crystal Stickles is in the center of each flower.
I stamped the heart from the Doodle That set with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cs. It was punched out with my 1 1/4" circle punch, layered onto a 1 3/8" Real Red circle and again onto a Basic Black Scalloped Circle. I highlighted each scallop with a drop of Crystal Stickles. Each layer is separated with a Dimensional. I wrapped a band of white velvet ribbon around the box with Sticky Strip and adhered the heart layers with a bit more Sticky Strip. Finally, I filled in the heart with Crystal Stickles. Once dry, I colored in the little flower with my Real Red marker.
That's it. It's going to a teenager, so I hope she'll like it. TFL - Regina

How cute! I love the way you decorated the paper and the band looks so rich and luxurious! The chunky glitter on the heart adds a nice depth! I would have a hard time giving this away, myself!
