If you haven't checked out this CUTE Turtle Friends Bundle in the Annual Catalog what are you waiting for!? I loved this bundle when I first saw it last year when the catalog came out. I've been waiting to do some fun Valentine projects with him! I think he's pretty perfect for Valentine's! I also used the new Hello Beautiful Bundle from the mini. The Hello Beautiful Bundle is a perfect companion stamp set to stamps you probably already own. The dies that coordinate are amazing, you get multiple sizes of hexagons and other shapes. Basic shape and label dies are always worth investing in. The stamp set offers lots of fun abstract images that can be used in a variety of ways. For my box today I used some of the abstract shapes to add color and dimension to my hexagon, as well as give the turtle a little shadow to stand on to ground him.
For my turtle I stamped him on Mint Macron Cardstock in Black Memento. The shell detail I stamped in Just Jade Ink. I used some Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends to add some details and shading to my turtle. I colored in his toenails with the dark and used the light on his shell. I used both to add some shading. To finish the turtle I stamped him again on a scrap of white and punched out just his eye. You can also add a googlie eye too. I added a heart from the Give It A Whirl Dies to his shell.
This box is so cut and has a fold over lid. You can tuck the lid inside, but I love the way it folds over and you get views of multiple patterns of the beautiful Abstract Beauty DSP. I used a small Velcro Dot to close my box, you can also use a small magnet if you'd rather. The Abstract Beauty DSP is gorgeous. The colors are bright and bold and have pops of gold accents. LOVE! This DSP comes in 4" x 6" size. But you won't be disappointed in the patterns!
Inside the box are three individually wrapped Turtles Chocolates. I found a bag of these at Wal-Mart in their Valentine section. The box has some side tabs that fold inside the box to give your box a nice clean finished look. I rounded the corners on the inside tabs and the fold over lid with the Detailed Trio Punch.
I think three Turtles is a nice treat. This box is a good size and will absolutely hold lots of other treats too. Box measurements below:
