Cute baby booties - made with self designed paper

I decided to make something 3D and immediately thought of the baby shoes I had made previously, but using designer paper made by myself.
Starting with Whisper White paper, I randomly stamped heart images from the Stamp set "I (Heart) Hearts in both Real Red and Pixie Pink colours.  I filled in the spaces with the smallest of the heart stamp .  I quite like the result.
The template for the shoes can be found here.  I printed the template directly onto the wrong side of my designer paper.
Aren't they cute?  The flowers were made from the stamp set:  Vintage Vogue and With All My Heart, fastening them together with the wonderful  Sending Love epoxy brads. Sweet Pea was from the set Little Angel, embossed in gold, trimmed and applied to the front of the shoe with a create-a-sticker technique.

You can see the gold embossed "Sweet Pea" on the front of the shoe

Here's the side view showing the flower and epoxy brad
No shoes are complete without a box to put them in, so I made a box similar to the Christmas ornament box. The  Big Shot  helped me here as I used the Scallop Envelope die to make the 4 sides for the box.  The remainder of the paper was used to decorate the box .  A pink satin ribbon completed the box.  The top of the box was made using clear acetate.
The shoes are packed in the box.  To raise the height of the interior of the box  so the shoes could be seen better, I filled it with foam hearts (of course going along with the theme of hearts)
