Tutorial Thursday: Oval Stacking Box with Romantique

Hi Everyone!!  It's Tutorial Thursday time!!  Today I'm making a Melissa Frances Oval Stacking Box with the very romantic Prima Romantique collection. 

These cute little boxes come in a set of 3.  I'm using the middle size box.

First, trace the top of the box on the back side of your paper.

Cut 2 strips out of 8x8 paper that are 1 1/2" wide to cover the sides.  I'm using Prima's Romantique 8x8 paper pad.

Adhere the first strip along the side.

Line up the second strip with the first, cover the rest of the side of the box top, and cut off the excess paper.

Adhere the traced cutout from step 1 to the top of the box.

If needed, trim any excess paper, and sand lightly for a nice finished edge.

Ink all the edges and bottom of the box with Distress Ink (I used Antique Linen).

Embellish, and you're done!  Easy peasy!  I use Prima Lace, Prima  Avon Roses, Prima Gillian Flowers, and a BoBunny Etc Trinket to decorate mine!

I thought this would make a great gift, especially for Valentine's Day.  Fill it with candy and a small card.  Who wouldn't love that?!  ENJOY!
