Doggone Friendly Box-VIDEO

I've received lots of comments on the super cute Doggone Friendly Background Stamp.  Everyone loves it but it's intimidating.  It's a LOT of coloring and that can sometimes push people away especially if you don't love to color.  Well, I'm here today to show you a project that uses the stamp, or at least part of it and there is zero coloring!  You can easily take the elements from this box and put it on a card for some simply stunning results.  Let's break down how fun this giant background stamp is to use!  

To stamp my image I placed my background stamp face up on my glass mat-TIP-it will stick to your glass mat making it easy to ink and stamp!  Get the Stampin' Glass Mat Studio FREE when you join my team during Sale-a-Bration!  Join today!  With the stamp face up I inked up my stamp in Pecan Pie. If you're only making one of these boxes you don't have to ink up the entire stamp, just a portion big enough for your paper.  If you are making a bunch ink up the entire stamp and place a few on there at a time.  After your paper is on the stamp, grab a scratch piece of paper and place it over your cardstock and gently rub the stamp.  Stamping it upside down like this will make it easier to get a clean image with the big stamp and it's a lot easier than trying to manage a giant block.  Peel off your scrap paper and gently lift your image and viola-a perfectly stamped image!  There's no need to color it, it's ready to go as is onto your box.  

For my box I'm doing a basic clamshell style box.  I've made a ton of these, they're easy and quick.  I'm jazzing up the front with a curved edge and the sides are trimmed at an angle for even more interest.  I've never done this and I kinda LOVE it!  Because the sides are being trimmed I wanted to have some DSP peeking through, I love the Glorious Gingham DSP in the Annual Catalog.  It's simple patterns go with any project!  Inside my box are six Hershey Kisses.  I found some Valentine ones at Costco-Snoopy themed keeping with our dog theme.  I've also seen the Snoopy Hershey Kisses at my local Walmart and Target so check around in your area.
