Valentine’s Day Treat Box

Hi, Judy here today! Wow! It’s the end of January already. That means Valentine’s Day is just a couple of weeks away. With that in mind, I put together a Valentine’s Day Treat Box with heart windows to show a peek of treats inside.

Box Base

From white cardstock, use a die die-cutting machine and pillow box die to cut 2 pieces for the treat box. Center rectangle die-cuts one box piece and pass through die cutting machine to cut window.

On the inside of each piece, apply a piece of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft along the edge without folding. Remove the liner from one piece and place it over the folded edge of the other piece.

Cut a 3.5 x 2.75-inch piece of clear acetate.

Apply pieces of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft on the inside of the box around the opening, peel liners, and place acetate over the adhesive. Press well.

Cut Label Pieces

Use die cutting machine and a rectangle die to cut with pink paper.

Cut a 2.375 x 3.25 rectangle of red paper and use a 1/4″ corner rounder to cut corners.

Cut Heart Openings
