Hiya, Shary here and today I'd like to show you a tutorial for a Valentine's gift for that someone special. It's a Love Notes gift box. I cut my box on my Cameo but I'm sure there would be templates on the internet for this type of box for you to hand cut.

I've used Papermill white plain card for the main box.

I then decorated the front and lid of my box with some patterned paper and inked around the edges.

Cut out some little cards, again I've used my Cameo but these are easily cut by hand. I've used Papermill Ruby Red card. I'm showing you four but you can easily get lots more in the box.

Next I used some more patterned paper to cover the cards and inked the edges and then used the little punch out hearts to decorate.

I've stamped some little sentiments onto the cards using some Ali Edwards stamps. I left enough room for a personal handwritten note too.

For the embellishment at the front I cut out a scalloped circle and heart. I used some frantage to sprinkle over the heart and inked the edges of the circle.
