Happy Tuesday fellow crafters! It's Cassie here to bring you a sweet little tutorial to get you ready for Valentine's Day!
Here's what you'll need:
Stamps: Sweet Heart
Ink: CDS Bubble Gum, CDS Spring Leaf
Paper: CDS Berry Blast, CDS Kiwi Delight, CDS Cottonball White
Accessories: Scor-pal, Scor-tape, CDS Tabs & Tags Die, 1 1/4" circle punch, Lime Juice twine, Heart Block embossing folder
Let's get started!
Cut a piece of Berry Blast cardstock to be 3 1/4" X 4" and then score that piece at 3/4", 2", and 2 3/4" as shown above.
Flip the piece, and then score it at 3/4" and 2 1/2" as shown above. Notice the white lines that are marked off above. . .you will but cutting on those lines.
This is what you'll have when you're done cutting. Now fold on the scored lines as shown.
Using the Scor-tape, assemble the box.
Using your Tabs & Tags Die, cut out two tabs from the Berry Blast cardstock.
Emboss your pieces using the Heart Blocks embossign folder, or whatever folder you wish.
I didn't get a picture of it, but I ran my Bubble Gum ink over the top of my pieces to really make the hearts pop. Then, I used my Scor-tape on the top and the bottom of the box .
Using about 10" of Lime Juice twine, I attached it to the box as shown above.
Using the Tabs & Tags Die, I cut out one piece from the Kiwi Delight cardstock.
Stamp your sentiment from the Sweet Heart set onto the piece using the Spring Leaf ink.
Stamp the 'hugs & kisses' circle sentiment with Bubble Gum ink onto Cottonball White cardstock.
Punch out your sentiment using a 1 1/4" circle punch. This blank space in the middle of the piece can be used to write the recipient's name.
Assemble your box and put your piece of candy inside. Of course my box has the ever loved Heath bar in it. . .mmmmmm. Then tie your bow, and taaa daaa, you have a darling mini treat holder!
These little boxes are so cute and easy to make. If you have any questions, email me ([email protected]). I'd be happy to help!
Now go forth and be crafty, my friends!
I love this!! What a great idea! I can't wait to try it.
