One of the new pretty designer papers in the Occasions Catalog is this All My Love Designer Series Paper which I have used to make this All My Love Party Favor Treat Box For Valentine’s Day. This paper has hearts and florals so it covers almost any occasion! Remember, hearts are just for Valentine’s Day! The Occasions Catalog has a whole suite of products to go with this paper.
To make this little box or bag, for a treat to give someone or maybe as a party favor (think bridal showers, maybe?), just make the classic 2-4-6-8 box!
This paper is cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, even though the designer paper is 12″ x 12″. Don’t you hate to cut into new designer paper?! Then just score at 2″, 4″, 6″, and 8″. Turn the paper to make the bottom flaps of the box at 2″. Cut up on those score lines to the horizontal score line to make the bottom flaps, cutting out the tiny little piece at the end. Your paper will look something like this.
On my treat box today, I also scored a line about 3/4″ down from the top so that I could fold over the top and see the other side of the paper. Or you can just fold it on your own before you start assembling the box.
Crease and fold all the score lines and assemble the box. I just used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to hold everything together. You could also use the Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Once the box is assembled, tie a little ribbon around the top and use the new Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to cut out the little hearts. This smallest heart is really cute because it comes out with the pretty edge and the little stitching! I used Glue Dots on the back of the hearts to adhere to the ribbon. If you have trouble with the hearts hanging where you want them, another Glue Dot on the back won’t hurt to place them properly! If you wanted, you could use a white gel pen to write a name or message on the hearts.
Fill with some treats or a little gift and you are done! The All My Love DSP is so pretty and can be used for almost any occasion. You will think of it for Valentine’s Day but you are not limited to that at all. And the box is pretty on it’s own without the hearts because the paper is so pretty.
