Valentine MailBox

Click here for Cuttin' & Stampin' DT Writing File Folder Card.
Please click here to enter Ch 14-6 Writing.

Created this 3D item, Valentine MailBox, using Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge. Hid the score lines using my Gypsy before cutting. Glue was not working at holding the mailbox together so I used glue dots & red tape on front & back to hold the mailbox together.

Decided to make the mailbox be a gift card holder for an iTunes gift card for my daughter.

Made the flag sturdy by recycling a pice of cardboard. Cut the flag 3 times; twice using pink paper & once using cardboard. Heat embossed stamped the front panel of flag with sentiment date 2 14. Attached the flag to the mailbox with a heart brad. Used a couple Martha Stewart punches to decorate the Valentine MaliBox.

Used a BugABoo digi, Sign It Love Birdy, as a Valentine Love Note stamped with Feb 14 postmark type stamp. Added an iTunes gift card. Added washi tape.
