Love Notes for Lawnscaping

Hello Friends!

I have a lovey dovey project for today featured on the Lawnscaping blog! I introduced the reasoning behind the project over there and I thought I'd jump right into the "how"!

*Measure all sides of the box

*Ink all edges of the box

*Cut papers (I used "Eva" from Basic Grey here)

*Adhere paper with Mod Podge (or other super durable adhesive)

*Stamp sentiment, cut out, adhere

*Embellish!

*Tip: I can't measure and cut correctly to save my life. So, I got as close as a could but on the too big side. Then I marked with a pencil/eyeballed to get the perfect size. I would hold the "almost fits" piece of paper to one side of the box and just decide how much more paper to trim. It works for me!

*Tip: I wrote the measurements on the box itself since I was covering it all up, the pencil marks didn't matter.

*Tip: The reason I inked all the edges is because of tip #1. The inking helps hide imperfections. And the box corners were a little rounded so I knew the paper needed to be cut a little short.

*Tip: run the ribbon through a Xyron sticker maker for all over adhesive coverage!

Have you heard? Lawn Fawn is coming out with dies to match some stamp sets! Quinn's ABC's is one of those dies! Whoot!! Fussy cutting letters no more! Simon Says Stamp is having some select new Lawn Fawn products available for pre-order. Double whoot!!

Everyone could use a love note box, right? Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great week!
