Well I have changed gears like the rest of the retail world, from Christmas to Valentines!! LOL!  Today I have another fun Heart box to share with you using this week's Product Spotlight at Stamp and Create!!!
This week's Product Spotlight is the adorable Magnolia's!!!!  This week all Magnolia stamps will be up to 25% off.  While some stamps may be out of stock today, Lacey is getting new stock in in a day or so.


For my creation I used Tilda Sending Love Letters .  This adorable image is part of the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  I also used Echo Park Victoria garden dp as well as May Arts Pink Silk Ribbon, the bow easyWhite Satin Edge Ruffle Lace Trim, and the little daisy spacer which are available in the Stamp and Create store.

This heart box uses the heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast.  I just love boxes and her heart box looked so beautiful, I had to give it a go. The heart shape uses the Classic Hearts and Scalloped hearts from Spellbinders. 


The flowers are handmade and layered on Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish and Martha Stewart leaves and twig punches.  The designer paper and the leaves are dry embossed.

When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

This heart box uses the heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast.  I just love boxes and her heart box looked so beautiful, I had to give it a go.  I used a sentiment (which I love) from the new Mighty Ocean stamp set at Our Daily Bread Designs to be released on Feb. 1.  The dp is from Echo Park Victoria Garden.  The heart shape uses the Classic Hearts and Scalloped hearts from Spellbinders.  The flowers are recycled primas that I crunched, crinkled and layered.  The leaf flourish is from Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish. The other leaves are embossed and cut out with the Martha Stewart's Leaf punch.  The pearl beads, pearl heart pin, and lace were gifted to me by a very dear friend!!!

The inside of my box:

Heart Box Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- sneak peek of The Mighty Ocean
Paper: Neenah White (110 lb,), Echo Park Dp
Accessories: Spellbinders Heart (Classic and Scalloped), May Arts Satin White Ribbon, Pearl hat pin, Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish, lace, ruffled ribbon, recycled Prima flowers, Martha Stewart Twig punch, pink pearl beads
Tutorial:  heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast


In case you can't read the sentiment, this is what it says:
For as deep as the ocean,
or as wide as the sea,
so is His love given to thee.


There seems no greater love I can think of, even at Valentine's Day, than that of the Father to send His one and only Son into this world as both spirit and human to sacrifice His life on the cross for us.  Thanks be to God for this eternal gift!!


I made this box for Valentine's Day but also as a reminder for someone who will be going through a very serious stem cell transplant shortly.  I pray this uplifts her and reminds her of the Father's love!!

I am also entering this in three other challenges. The Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #123, to make a heart stand out on your card/project which you can find here.  The verse for the challenge is:
Scripture"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." Proverbs 3:3

The second challenge is from Cheery Lynn Designs for Challenge #12, to use dry embossing and Cheery Lynn dies.  You can find the challenge here.  I dry embossed the leaves on my creation and used the Fanciful Flourish die.



and


The Third Challenge is Word Art Wednesday which a relatively new challenge.  The purpose of this challenge is to share quotes and passages of the Bible.
