a little lovin' from the oven

Here is a cute gift package I created to hold a cupcake or some homemade baked treats like cookies or bars. The top of the box lifts up and you pull down the oven door to reveal the goodies inside! This package comes complete with the cupcake holder insert and the printable "a little lovin' from the oven" gift tags. The digital files to create this oven are available in my shop here: http://meylah.com/littlepeaceofmyheart

More information about this project can be found on this video:
