- scrap of lightly textured light blue design from Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper
- scrap of Silver Foil Sheets
- scrap of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the Balmy Blue Cardstock pieces to the sides of the box.
Adhere the large square of dotted Tranquil Textures Designer Paper to the center of one of the large blue squares to be the top of the box.
As you are ready to stamp using the Apron of Love Set, place the paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the outline apron image from the Apron of Love Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the blue Tranquil Textures Designer Paper rectangle.
Pick out the apron framelit from the Apron Builder Framelits. Place the stamped designer paper piece on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the apron framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped apron image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Keep all the pieces as you can use the scraps of the designer paper later.
Pick out the half-circle, scallop-edged pocket framelit from the Apron Builder Framelits. Place the small piece of dotted Tranquil Textures Designer Paper on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the pocket framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the outline, half-circle, scallop-edged pocket image from the Apron of Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it onto the pocket cut out.
WITHOUT adhering, lay the pocket cut out on the bottom of the apron cut out. Mount the "I heart stamping" sentiment from the Apron of Love Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. Stamp it on the apron just above the pocket.
Now, adhere the pocket to the bottom of the apron.
Pick out the scissors thinlit from the Apron Builder Framelits. Place the scrap of Silver Foil Sheet on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scissors framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Big Shot Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the scissors cut out to the center of the pocket so the tips are pointing to the upper right side of the pocket.
Pick out the tiny pocket framelit from the Apron Builder Framelits. Place the scrap of blue designer paper on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the tiny pocket framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the tiny pocket to the center of the big pocket so it covers one handle of the scissors.
Cut a 2" piece of Mint Macaron Nature's Twine.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the twine to the back of the top of the apron to make the neck loop.
Fill the box with accessories, treats, candy, jewelry, small gifts, or a gift card. Close the box.
Cut a 20" piece of Mint Macaron Nature's Twine.
Tie the twine across the center of the box in a small bow. Make sure the end flaps that open on the box are being held closed by the twine. Make sure the bow is slightly to the right of center. Trim the ends.
Remove the protective backing from the ends of the twine on the back of the apron and add some SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the apron. Adhere the apron to the front of the box on the left side at a slight angle.
Pick out the two different heart framelits from the Apron Builder Framelits. Place the scrap of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the two heart framelits on top making sure they do not overlap. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the hearts to the upper right corner of the box front.
Carefully peel up one small Mint Macaron Faceted Dot from a sheet of Faceted Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the small heart.
Carefully peel up one large Mint Macaron Faceted Dot from a sheet of Faceted Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the large heart.
