True
to its title, this red box has a whole lot more going on than just cocoa!
Created by Lisa Vlach, this little gift has hidden messages tucked inside
awaiting discovery by its recipient. Lisa has cleverly and secretly
added a little something to almost all of these stamped items. The teacups
along the front of the box contain alphabet beads that communicate a
message close to her heart. The picks tucked inside contain messages
too. And the teacup reveals its missive when opened.
These
oversized postcards are easier to make than you might think. With the
help of an AccuCut machine and jumbo dies, we were able to crank out
huge tags, birdhouses, and snowflakes in no time. A die cut machine
can simplify your life by creating cutouts in almost any shape, and
produce hundreds of them in mere minutes. And you customize your design
by choosing a favorite card stock, specialty paper, patterned paper,
tissue, felt, or fabric! These machines can often be used for minimal
cost (sometimes even free!) at your local scrapbook or stamp retailer.
