CATCH YOU LATER NO CUT VALENTINE'S BOX with WATERCOLOR SHAPES - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Valentine's Gift box that requires no cutting.  It measures  5 1/4  x  2 1/2  x  3/4".  I used Catch You Later stamp set, Watercolor Shapes stamp set, Layering Circle dies, Seasonal Label dies and Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon.  I fit 4 Mini Twix bars or Reese's Hearts inside.



I started with a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock sized
7  x  5 1/4".
I scored the  7" side at:
3/4,  3 1/4,  4  and  6 1/2".
I scored the  5 1/4" side at:
1/2,  1 1/4,  4  and  4 3/4".
To put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


I attached several pieces of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2)  2 1/2  x  2 1/4"  for the front and back.
(4)  1/2  x  2 1/4"  for the sides.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I sealed the bottom of the box with Liquid Glue.
I punched 2 holes in the top of the box with a 1/8" hole punch.
I put 4 Mini Twix candies inside and tied Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon in a bow at the front.


I stamped a circle from Watercolor Shapes stamp set onto a piece of scrap paper with Granny Apple Green Ink.  Then stamped it again (without reining) onto Basic White Cardstock.
I cut the stamped image out using a  1 7/8" smooth circle die from the Layering Circle dies.
I cut a larger scalloped circle from Highland Heather Cardstock and attached the stamped circle on top with Liquid Glue.  I attached the circles to the middle of the box with Dimensionals.
I stamped the Cat image from Catch You Later stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Crumb Cake for the Cat.
Light Pool Party for the water.
Light Pale Papaya for the fish.


I fussy cut the Cat and Fish Bowl out by hand and attached it onto of the circles with Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment, from Catch You Later stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the sentiment out using the small label from Seasonal Labels dies.
I attached it under the Cat image with a dot of glue in the middle of the back of the sentiment.
I added some Wink of Stella Glitter to the fish and for the final touch I added 3 2021-2023 In Color Jewels around the image.
