If you are a regular follower, you know that I have two sons. One in college and one a senior in high school. While they are happy to get cards and treats from mom they are long gone from the days of handing out Valentine's to everyone in their class. So, what does a crafty mom do? I adopt my friends' kids to craft for! And so began my hunt for the perfect treat holder for valentine treats. I found the perfect treat box on Pinterest created by Crafty Caroline in the UK.
Here are the details:
- Start with a piece of cardstock 6" x 10"
- Along the long side (10" side) score at 3/4", 2", 4", 6", 8" and 9 1/4"
- Then turn to the short side (6" side) and score at 2" and 4"
- Then you will cut along the lines as shown in the photos below:
- Insert the extended flaps into the Scallop Tag Punch and punch them out.
- Fold up the sides and adhere with Tombow Glue.
- Once all the sides are glued together, you are ready to decorate the treat box.
- To finish, fill with your favorite treats and then tie the top with ribbon.
Again, left over DSP was perfect for this project. I used More Amore DSP from last year's Spring Catty, along with the A Round Array stamp and coordinating punch. The Tag It stamp set provided the "from:" for the banner tag. The banner tag was cut using the new Banner Framelits.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and you have fun creating some last minute Valentines for someone special in your life!
Cheers,
Michelle
