INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART: Tufted Heart Valentine Box...

Today is Inspire Your Heart With Art day!  So, of course, I wanted to include a heart in today's project.  I have already shared a couple of cards with the Meant to Be bundle, so this time I chose a treat box.  I wanted to use our Mini Pizza Boxes as they are perfect to gift a cookie (food-safe interior), 4 tealight candles, delicious chocolates or some of your handmade 3x3 cards!  And I decided to keep the design very simple.

I started by coloring my Champagne Shimmer Mist with a few drops of Blushing Bride Reinker.  Then I spritzed it on the Mini Pizza Box in thin coats until covered to the desired effect and allowed it to dry.  It's hard to see the shade in the picture, but trust me, it is a beautiful shade of shimmery pinkness!  Don't be surprised if your pizza box curls up.  It will flatten out when dry.  If there is any curl remaining, just put it under some heavy books overnight and it will be fine.

For the top, I did a simple, but elegant heart.  If there was any stamping, this would be a #simplestamping project, but I couldn't bear to cover up this gorgeous tufted foil heart! 

I have been dying to use more of these FABULOUS Foil Sheets, so this was the perfect excuse.  I just LOVE the way the foil looks when it is embossed with the Tufted folder.  And this foil pack is a GREAT deal!  It is available for FREE with your $50 order during Sale-A-Bration.  It includes 8 sheets of foil:  4 Lovely Lipstick and 4 Grapefruit Grove which has a stunning holographic look.  Our regular foil sheets are 2 for $5, so this is a $20 value!  They are very low in stock and could sell out anytime though, so be sure to order yours soon!
