Blog Hop Day 2

Hello, welcome to day 2 of Inky Impressions 'Love Spell' Blog Hop.


Prize: 

One winner will receive 2 free digis (as previously announced)
Then since we are having an extra day of the hop we will also give away 2 more digis but to TWO different people.....so there will be 3 winners in total


I have something extra special to show you today.
I have made a Exploding box with mini easel card using the new digi 'Sent with Love Girl'.


On top of the box I have made a mini easel card.
I have made some small heart tags on the side.


I have added some metal corners & 2 big red bows with pearls in the centre (pearls are from Inky Impressions).


I have also included a new release digi sentiment.



Under the lid I have included a heart for a special message.


Inside the box I have added lots of hearts on plastic strips to give a floating effect.
Each heart with ribbon is a tag.


I have made tags for special messages as well.


What it looks like when tags are out. I have plastic strips for the tags to sit under & on top of each strip is a letter which ends up spelling 'LOVE'. I coloured each letter with a red copic marker then added some red stickles on top.


One of the tags sitting under the plastic strip.


Underneath the top layer I have added more hearts, so you have more room for special messages.


The centre of the box has a heart standing up in a garden of flowers. I added a red bow & a couple of pretty pins. The centre also doubles as something extra special see below.


I have also made it to hold a ring so you could use it for a beautiful ring box as well.


The white card stock was cut to size then embossed with hearts.
This has been a lot of work over a couple of days but totally worth it.
I love making exploding boxes.
