Sweet Valentine Treats with Laurie

Hello crafty  friends!  It’s Laurie Willison here! 

I have a fun little gift box to share with you today.  The Stationary Box die is one of my favorites.  I just love that you can use it for so many different things.  I am already thinking about Valentines….or maybe Hobby Lobby’s Valentines aisles (already!!) have given me some inspiration! It is always fun to see what treats fit inside!

Today I am using the following supplies to create today’s project:

• Stationery Box Die
• Hey Honeycomb Penguin
• Typed Greetings Die Set
• Just My Type Stamp Set

First up, I created the box.  The base is a white cardstock box layered with a pink striped patterned paper and a bright pink cardstock.  I stamped the “i love you” in a coordinating ink on the flap.  Because the treats I am adding to the box are a little heavy, I decided to add black washi tape around the bottom of the box to secure it. I added a little ribbon loop on the flap and then a plastic velcro closure on the flaps to finish off the box. 

The box was pretty clean and simple at this point, which is usually just fine with me, but I had a pink penguin in mind, so I whipped one up with the Hey Honeycomb Penguin dies, in all those coordinating colors. 

The fun part about this box is that it fits 3 Cosmic Brownies perfectly!  One along the bottom and 2 tucked in the top.  You can, of course, fit A2 sized cards in this box perfectly.  A row of white chocolate dipped pretzels would be so cute!  Or 2 homemade sugar cookies would be yummy!

I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project!  If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card or project, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!
