Thanks, Mel for the template! Love this!

I printed the template directly onto the back of my dp and then folded the dp in the middle of the bottom section so that I could run it through my Cuttlebug with one of my new Asian folders. Then I assembled it and stamped and heat embossed "for you" on a little chipboard heart for the front...filled the box with stamping supplies and candy for my friend...and tied it together with sheer ribbon...then added a little silk flower stem tucked inside. tfl
