This Key to my Heart Valentine Candy Box is for Pam MacKay's Color Challenge.
The lid of the Valentine Box includes a small shaker box that I added a piece of silver foil on which I embossed the sentiment with red embossing powder, "Key to my Heart." I also included three types of sequins, one of which is quite static and clings to the sentiment and acetate and makes it difficult to see the sentiment. On the top of the shaker box are pink crystals and a key.
The remainder of the lid for the candy box features one of my favorite SU DSP, Love Impressions, which includes the three colors of the color combination and hearts. I used Hero Arts dies and red glimmer paper to create the die cuts on the top of the lid. I used another die and silver foil to create the die cuts on the sides of the lid. Before adding the silver die cuts, I attached around the center of the sides of the lid a pink ribbon.
The box bottom is made from red cardstock and includes dividers for placement of candy. Both the lid and bottom of the box were made with several folds to prevent adding adhesive, except for one small piece at the inside center of both.

You were certainly in a creative mood when you tackled this darling project, Bev! I checked out the other photos to see just how pretty this looks from different angles, and I'm so glad I did! A sweet box with a doubly sweet shaker on top....sure to be treasured by the recipient~
