Valentine's Box Made With Your Own Custom Cardstock

Hi Stampers,
Have you ever had a certain cardstock in mind for a project and you just don't have the right paper at home to work with?  Well that is exactly what happened to me when creating this Valentine's Box. I needed Valentine's Cardstock for the top of the box and I didn't have any Valentine's CS in my craft room, so, I just made my own.  The cover on the top of this box is actually the Custom Cardstock that I made.  I have made a YouTube Video for you on how to make the custom cardstock for this box and also how to construct this cute little Valentine's Box. If you have time, I would love if you would leave a comment below as to what you think.  Hope you enjoy both the project and the instructional video.
