This is the card I made for The Doc. I saw this die cut ages ago and bought it especially to use here. It is by Sweet Dixie 'Small Heart and Flowers Frames' and cuts like a dream. I have kept the card fairly simple and let the die cut do the work. I outlined using a silver gel pen and it really picks the design out. The hearts that came out as waste I used to decorate the corners and added the bigger ones onto the die cut. silver gel pen round the edge just to finish.

I went on a John Next Door Workshop in the May of last year where we made these boxes using two of his die cutting sets. 'Heart Box and Butterfly Heart. Too late for sharing at the time as well past February so have kept to show till now. The box is actually made using Dove Grey Cardstock but it looks pale blue here. The lovely glitter effect is made with Cosmic Shimmer's Glitter Bitz Frosty Sparkle.
The easel part folds down flat and the lid lifts up but I ran out of hands to take the photo of the inside!

I bet Doc loved his card. That is a great die and using the extra hearts on the corners is so pretty. That box is a gift all by itself. I love the soft gray you used.
Beautiful card for Doc, like the hearts in the corners and your boxes are amazing!

Such lovely card for your husband, really striking! And just LOVE the heart easel box, wow!! Great design with the butterflies and the sparkling! Now I need that die set LOL :D

Wow! Your box is stunning. I love how three of the butterflies are caught in the act of flying off the box after their friends. I imagine they all have just emerged from their chrysalises.
