LeNae's Tip: The template pattern will help you cut shapes that will fit nicely inside each panel of the box. Inking the edges of each cut piece will add definition and a clean edge to your project.

Supplies:

• Love Tree Small Stamps
• Lots O' Love
• Classic Organdy Swirl Ribbons
• Heart Charms
• 2"x6" Acrylic Block
• StazOn Ink Pad, Jet Black
• Red felt tip pen
• Red and white cardstock

Instructions:

1. Use the box template to cut the back, 2 sides and 2 lid pieces from the heart paper. Ink the edges. Cut a front piece from red cardstock and ink the edges. Glue the pieces centered on each panel of the assembled box.
2. Trace another front piece onto white cardstock and trim the bottom and one side by 1/8. Ink the edges and stamp with a black tree. Color hearts with red pen and stamp Love at the bottom right corner. Glue the white piece centered on the red. Knot a length of red organdy ribbon and trim tails to long. Glue the knot to the tree trunk.
