I love holidays, and I really love holidays that include lots of chocolate. Valentine’s Day seems to revolve around chocolate, which makes it one of my favorites. It’s time to start your love themed crafting in preparation of the big day.
I’ve seen shadow boxes all over the crafting world and while most are made of something a bit more solid like metal or wood, I wanted to try my hand at making a paper version. The result is a valentine of epic proportions that can stick around for a while as reminder of your love. I’ve embellished my little boxes with hearts and glitter, but it would be fun to add little mementos of your time together in each box as well. The files for this project are free for everyone!
When I was developing these files I test cut it first on plain paper. Once assembled I realized it also made the perfect desk organizer tray. The choice is yours. You can glam it up and give it away, or make it from pretty papers to keep your supplies in order.
The papers and sentiment blocks for this project are from Paper Loft’s Shades Of Gray Line. Paper Loft has kindly donated a Shades of Gray prize package for one lucky reader. The winner will receive 24 patterned papers and six accessory sheets full of sentiments. Go here to enter the giveaway!

My niece is getting married in a few months & gray is one of her colors. This would make creating her wedding card so much easier. Thank you for this opportunity
Good Luck everyone…
great idea Michelle. I see making one for each holiday and collage’ing’ them on the wall or fridge.
Very cool. I love the desk organizer idea!
Love your shadow box Michelle!
