Have you ever needed a quick little gift? Well I have the perfect solution for you!
A couple weeks ago a teenage friend of ours watched our cute little dog Eva while we were out of town for a couple days. I wanted to do something for her to show her our appreciation for her help.
While browsing my Pinterest Boards I found a tutorial for box made of paper that fits Dove Chocolates perfectly! And what teenage girl doesn't like chocolate?!
The tutorial I found came from Clearly iStamp, and her tutorial is AMAZING with lots of step by step pictures and it is very easy to follow. So if you would like to make this box I highly suggest going to her post This Dove's for You because I saw no reason in redoing what she had already done so well.
There were only a couple things that I did differently so let me show you what I did.
- First I chose the main papers of the box.
- I do not have the Nestabilities that Clearly iStamp used so instead I used the Bigz Scallop Square Sizzix Die for the top and bottom of the box.
- For the inside of the lid I cut a square that was a tad smaller then the Scallop Square and
- Rounded the corners
Now the box is finished but I wanted to add a cute little card so I could tell her Thank You as well.
- For the envelope I used the Library Card Pocket Sizzix Die
- Then added a Chevron pattern to the bottom using The Borders Scoring Plate for the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored
- For the pinwheel I used the Pinwheel Sizzlits Die and attached it to the front of the envelope.
- For the note I cut a piece of paper that was just a tad smaller then the envelope and wrote my message on it.
Easy Peezy!
What do you think? Is this a gift you would like to receive?
This is a great idea. I have some small items I want to put in my booth and these boxes would be the perfect handmade container. I went over to the blog you referenced. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun box and fabulous gift for Valentines Day!

This is such a great idea! I don't usually like boxes of chocolates from the store because they are filled with flavors I don't like. This way, you can choose what goes in the box so the person who is getting it is sure to like it.
ReplyDeleteI love the paper you chose to use. What a wonderful gift to give anytime of the year. Thanks for sharing. I'm visiting via Confessions of an ADD Housewife party.
ReplyDeleteKatie, this is so adorable. I love it. It was nice meeting you tonight. Hope to see you tomorrow.

So cool. If only I'd noticed your blog earlier last week, I'd have made one to fill with my homemade Valentine chocolates. No worries, plenty of other chocolate-worthy days ahead!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea and a great way to give a one-of-a-kind gift.
