NUTS and BOLTS VALENTINE WINDOW BOX with SWEET HEARTS DIES - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Valentine's Window Box that measures
4 1/2  x  3 1/2  x  1/2".  I used Nuts and Bolts stamp set, Sweet Heart dies,  Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, Tailor Made Tags, Scalloped Contours dies and Beautiful Shapes dies.



I started with a piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper sized
8 1/2  x  6".
I scored the  8 1/2"  side at:
1/2,  4,  4 1/2  and  8"
I scored the  6 " side at:
1/2  and  5".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of my Template.  Your DSP should look like this after scoring and cutting.


I cut the edge of the flap with the Scallop die from the Scalloped Contours dies.
I cut a Hexagon Window in the side with out the top flap using the larges Hexagon die from Beautiful Shapes dies.
I attached a  3 x 3" pice of Window Sheet inside the Hexagon cut out with Glue Dots.


I cut a tag from Real Red Cardstock using the Tailor Made Tags dies.  (I used the second largest of the above shape)
I stamped the sentiment, from Nuts and Bolts stamp set, onto the bottom of the tag with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I stamped the Robot image onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink also.
I colored the Robot with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Smokey Slate for the Robot body.
Dark Real Red for the dot at the top of the antenna.
Dark and Light Real Red for the Heart.


I put 6 Hershey's Chocolate Hearts inside the box and then I punched holes in the top flap of the box with a 1/4" hole punch (going through all layers).
I ran Double Stitched Real Red Satin Ribbon through the holes and added the tag to the right side before tying the bow.


I cut a large heart and 2 small hearts from Real Red Cardstock using the Sweet Heart dies.
I attached the large one to the box with a Dimensional.
I attached both little hearts with Liquid Glue.
I added 2 Red Matte Decorative Dots to the box above the hearts.
For the final touch I added Wink of Stella Glitter to the heart on the Robot.
