Ciao Bella Card
To create this card I used:
I actually created a video showing you how to use the beautiful Citrus Fields Dies.

Something Fishy Sentiment Die Set
Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set
Arched Box Large Die
This was a fun project to create. I never thought I would ever build a sardine can LOL! I used the canned dies to layer up the box with the base using 3 of the large can die cuts. The first layer is kraft, then red and then the top is the silver cardstock.
The fun part about the scored die included in the Canned die set is that the red flap on this 2nd layer becomes a door. It is attached at the top but can easily be opened to reveal a gift card or cash inside. So this little gift box will be hiding a an extra surprise!
After I attached the cash with some low tack removable adhesive, I glued the red panel onto the kraft panel to enclose the gift.
After having the base complete, I attached the can front to the Arched Box Large Die. It fits perfectly behind the large Canned die. I layered the front with the silver panel, the little fish dies and the sentiments on the front to finish off the can part of the project.
AND then you can fit one more surprise inside!
I added a little bag of Swedish Fish with a label made using the Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set and the Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set.

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account. I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain. If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment,

I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should. I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again...
Blogger is a pain.

Coastal cuttings is so versatile. I love using the base and being able to snip the flowers apart and glue to a frame while having them stable is so easy. Great idea!
