so I thought I would make something special for the girls on my co-ed team for Valentine's day just because they are like my second family and they are dear friends to me. They do love our creations too...so why not make for those that appreciate it =) So with the top note box that I made for Cami...I decided to make ones with the Valentine's day DP. I really wanted to decorate the cover and I just purchased those charms and spacers from Stamp and Create. The large flowers are from Munchkins and the small flowers in Stella's hair I found at Ben Franklin. 
so this is my attempt to color black hair...I don't know about my coloring, but I do love that Stella has black hair. I colored her dress to match the flowers. I used my white gel pen to make the dots on the hem of her dress. I bought a few different charms...flowers, butterflies, hearts, stars and Hello Kitty. yes...there are Hello Kitty Charms! go and get yours today =) to dangle the charms I am using the jump rings from the store too. I love how it came out.
here my daughter is helping me hold open the box so you can see inside. I hope the girls enjoyed the chocolate goodies for Valentine's day =)

I didn't really do a tutorial, but I am giving instructions on how to make this simple top note box.
so here are the measurements for the box...
2 pieces of the top note die (I used white cardboard)
if you want to decorate it, you need to cut 2 more pieces of the top note die with DP, then cut around on the perforated line
1 - 6 1/2" x 9" CS
score on the 6 1/2" side: 1 1/2" then flip and do the other side
score on the 9" side: 1", 3 1/2", 5" and 7 1/2"
you will cut away the 1" and 3 1/2" score lines on the 1 1/2" score line on either side. this will give you your flap for you to tuck into your box. the other two score lines you will cut up to the 1 1/2" score line. this will form your tab for the box.
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to explain.
have a great Thursday =)

Your Valentine cards are beautiful Joy! Your images are adorable and I love the attached gift box, very cute! Thanks for the instructions to the gift box, I'm going to give it a try!
The charms really add to the gift box ... especially since it's a Hello Kitty charm too - will check out that site. Your friends are so lucky to receive your creations.
Lucky, lucky friends! Just the box alone is a great gift. Stella is my new fave Sprout--love her black hair!
Really cute boxes! Love those charms too!
You're so sweet to make all of them these super cute boxes! That's a lot of work. You did a great job coloring the black hair. I have yet to try that color hair.
Have a great weekend!
Joy!
You are on a roll making these gorgeous boxes! Great gifts for great friends!

I also like the black hair. You did a good job. The way you changed the look of an ordinary box is a very good idea. I'm going to look for those tiny flowers at Ben Franklin Crafts.
Thank you so much Joy! I love mine!
TTYL!
Hugs,
