Locked Valentine Favor Box

Hello again - this is my second post for the day! This is a Valentine's Box I made from the Perfect Presentation Favor Box template (purchase it HERE). It is for my husband and I am planning to fill it with one of his favorite sweet treats!
I have to be a goof and write how happy I am with how the key tags came out. It was one of those ideas that I had in my head that seemed so cute, but you never know until it gets to paper how it will turn out. With a few dimensionals underneath, the tag and key are held together by the chain!
I am combining challenges again!
First, I saw the Just Us Girls (JUGS) color challenge this week and loved the combo - Burgundy, Vanilla, Gray and Blush. Only problem is that I used up all my Burgundy paper so I substituted SU Rose Red.
Then I saw the Everything But the Kitchen Sink sketch challenge:Finally, The Cuttlebug Spot's challenge is to create a favor box!
Everything just came together once I pulled out Practicing Creativity's Key to My Heart stamp set. This is Courtney's first set and you can purchase it HERE. I have to say that the acrylic stamps are of the highest quality and took ink well!
I am in Valentine's Day mode and already started making little cards for my sons to pass out. Plus I am making a few extra to send to Winter who is collecting Valentine's cards for St. Jude's - I need to get those in the mail Tuesday. I think my daughter may want to make her own...she received a Cuttlekids for Christmas and we picked up a heart die set today! I promise to share pics of any and all!
Smiles,
Julie
