This gift box (which was originally from a Valentine box from Ghirardelli) got converted into a hanging heart box. I love it simply as a piece of wall decor to hang, stuffed with vintage music sheets! It's just so functional...you could use it for so many purposes, including gift giving. It is topped with the sweet house from the new set, Love Everywhere...which I just LOVE!
And of course, I had to make a sweet card to go with it.
Notice how the roof has a little added dimension?? Well, while looking at the set, I thought to myself, hmm...that roof kind of has the same shape as a photo corner. So I pulled out my photo corner punch and had a total, "AHA!" moment! Here's a visual of that moment.
Can you hear that "AHA!" through your monitor?? :) So what I did was to punch the larger of the 2 photo corners from a piece of doily...distressed and sugared it up and that's how I got my house roof! The corners matched PERFECTLY! Needless to say, I was just thrilled....sorry, it doesn't take much for me! LOL!I hope I was able to successfully show you another way to make a "Valentine" set not so Valentine-y! Thanks for stopping in!
