I adore the combination of red and black for Valentine's Day. Remember this card in the same color scheme? The M&M candy box and matching 3 x 3 card is for my teenage daughter this Valentine Saturday.
I used a variety of Stampin' Up! punches and a Bigz Die Cut today. To see more samples in these categories, select Punch Bunch or Big Shot Gallery. TIP: They always are available for your convenience under my category list on the left side bar.
This charming box was created in seconds with my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and the Bigz XL Die, dubbed with the tantalizing name of "Box #2." Stampin' Up! introduced Rockabilly Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog (the catalog is now free with any Stampin' Up! on-line order). It's printed glossy cherries are very polished looking and lend sophistication to my little candy box.
I punched out the window with a Wide Oval Punch and layered a piece of acetate (available at most craft stores) behind. TIP: To center your window, pop out a Wide Oval with a piece of scrap paper first. Find the panel on the die cut box where the window will go. Center and adhere the scrap oval using Dotto adhesive (removable). When you punch the Rockabilly paper, line the punch up with the scrap oval . . . nifty. The tag is a combination of Real Red card stock, Polka Dot Punches (Sale-A-Bration) and a coordinating Full Heart Punch (new).

I’m telling you, Mary. We have been on the same wavelength lately, kinda eerie! LOL!
I used Rockabilly for today’s post too. LOVE the shine…
What an adorable set you’ve made! I love it.
You touch a spot on my heart when you do anything with red and black. Love it. I want that heart punch and that border punch.
I don’t know how you do it, but I’m glad you do.
