Cut cardstock, designer paper, foil sheets, and Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 4-1/4" x 5-5/8" of hearts in circle bursts on coral background design from Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 3" of swooshes of various pinks and gold design from Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 3-3/4" from Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets
- 2" x 3-3/4" from Gold Foil Sheets
Adhere the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper to the center of the Whisper White rectangle.
Fold an Acetate Card Box along all score lines and close the bottom flap.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the white layer to adhere the layer to the front of the Acetate Card Box.
Pick out the large heart framelit from the Lots to Love Box Framelits. Place the rectangle of Painted with Love Specialty Designer Paper on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the heart framelit on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the heart cut out to the front of the box so it is about 3/4" in from the bottom and right sides of the box.
Carefully peel up the protective backing on one side of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet piece and adhere the adhesive sheet to the back of the Gold Foil Sheet piece (the white side). Leave the other protective backing piece in place.
Place the piece of Gold Foil Sheet on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the adhesive side (with protective backing in place) is on the bottom (shiny, gold side facing up).
Pick out the "amazing" thinlit from the Celebrate You Thinlits. Place it on top of the Gold Foil Sheet piece on the Big Shot. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Peel the protective backing off of the "amazing" cut out. Adhere it to the front of the box so it overlaps the heart and sticks out to the left side of the heart.
Carefully remove two gold hearts from a sheet of Metallic Enamel Shapes making sure you get the adhesive as well as the hearts. Adhere them to the centers of two of the hearts on the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper on the front of the box.
Cut an 8" piece of Gold 1/8" Ribbon and an 8" piece of Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer Ribbon.
Lay the ribbons on top of each other and tie them in a small bow. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the front of the card box between the loops of the "g" at the end of the word "amazing."
Fill the box with hand-stamped cards and envelopes or some other treat. Close the top of the box.
