Kisses and Hugs Alternative 1

For my first Kisses and Hugs alternative, I created this card for a friend. This one is perfect for sending for Valentine’s Day or any day that you want to send a folded hug to one of your besties!
Included in the design are stamped images from January’s exclusive stamp set and part of one of the foiled elements. That foiled element makes a beautiful accent strip!
Kisses and Hugs Alternative Gift Box

And for today’s second alternative, I created a gift box or treat box using one of the foiled tri-fold cards from the January Kit.
Love, love, love the foiling!!
This box is large enough to hold a small gift or an assortment of your favorite candies. Depending on who receives this, I’ll be filling it with chocolate hearts from Godiva or the traditional conversation hearts and red hots. You have to give everyone their favorites!
