I have made it one of my goals this year to play along with the
Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013. This month I got a little crazy and made a
Chunky Tag. I love to make Pop N Cut cards and wanted to combine the two - here is what I ended up with. It seems this is a good piece to enter in the
Inspiration Emporium Challange this month, it's all about
L.O.V.E.
For the front I stamped the Tim Holtz "Queen of Hearts" Stamp 3 times. Once on Craft and twice on watercolor paper. I cut out each stamped image and layered it as Tim did on his tag. For the background I ran red Core'dinations paper through the Valentine embossing folder and then sanded it. I stamped and cut out the "Pointy Finger" and added it with pop ups. I tore the bottom section and embossed it with hearts. I then added the black and white twine and then the plastic letters were added "u rule". The finishing touches were the crown and a pin with a heart.
I used two sections of a Configuration Printers Tray that was left from another project. I added some Tissue Tape around the outside edges and then connected them with some Graphic 45 Hinges. Now it opens like a book. I put Tissue Tape on the inside edges as well and then stained with some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

For the inside I had some great paper from Lost & Found. I cut the PoP N' Cuts Insert with the Flying Heart using my Base Tray because I wanted the insert to be 5.25" high. You can see how to do this by watching
Karen Burniston's video. I had to alter the insert piece to accommodate the width of the box. The altering took some trial and error but finally got the results I was looking for. I reinforced the back of the heart with some cardboard from a cereal box.
In order for the heart to pop up to the desired height I had to add some chipboard to the bottom of the right side.
After a little decorating I was pretty happy. Hope you enjoy it.
