Good morning sweet friends! Today is day two of the series One Box, Three Occasions; the occasion I chose to use is Valentines Day. How often do you need to send a card and have a little box for goodies – that alone made Valentines Day a good choice, plus it’s coming soon! The box is the same as the box I created yesterday using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Seven except this time the Spellbinders Gate Element is oriented differently and it makes all the difference in the world. So easy and so different looking in red and white. If you want to know how to make the original box – instructions can be found on this post: https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/one-box-three-occasions-day-1/
Today I have a full sized card (5-1/2″ tall by 7-1/2″ wide) to go along with the box. It features a new Valentines Day sentiment from Quietfire Design called The Heart Has Its Reasons. Because I was able to incorporate the Gate Element, all the pieces match. I added the element by simply folding a gate element over the top of each of the Spellbinders Baby Bunting pieces used. The looks is tied together using Spellbinders Labels Thirty Three. Flowers are created using Spellbinders Urban Blooms and embellished using Spellbinders Foliage Flourish. 
The box that I created in this series measures 5-3/8″ tall and is 2-3/8″ wide and deep. The gate element is not folded and aligned on the corner as I did with the box yesterday, but is placed squarely on each side and adhered using Ranger Glossy Accents. To keep the bottom of the gate from flaring out, I simply wove a ribbon over and under the spokes and tied a bow on the front and sealed the theme by using a small heart button. It’s not as dressy as yesterday, but a sweet addition for gift giving (thinking chocolates)!
I finished off the design by adding color using a watercolor brush and some of my Victorian Velvet distress ink. I wet the inside of the heart with my paint brush then picked color up directly from the pad stroking from right to left to get a little gradient. Last order of business – a swirl of pearls from Prima.

I am sooo intrigued with this box! And now a matching card….wonderful. My mind is a flit with diverse ideas for my daughters and hubby. We have always given Valentines cards to our children; not just a boy/girl thing. Hubby has purchased cards for our daughters on this occasion for the last 47 years! They adore him for showing his love to them in this way. Thanks Becca for sharing these gorgeous creations with us.

Hi Becca. I love this 2nd box. The way you have turned the diecut around to use it, and also how you threaded the ribbon to keep it in place on the box, beautiful : ) I hope you are feeling better each day. Take care.
Oh my, it looks Amazeballs in this colour, could it work with other similar dies….
