Valentine's Day Chocolate Box

2015.

Can you believe it? Let's continue prepping for Valentine's. It's nice to be ahead of the game.

You will need the pizza box die- Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Box, Heart. I made a few of these boxes, so I am going to show you step by step using a few different boxes. Use a glue that is going to stick really quickly; such as glue gun, FabriTac, etc. The reason being is that when you curve around the heart shaped part, you need it to adhere without moving.

So here's a few tips I learned:

Tip #1: Make the lid as big as possible. That means glue it to the absolute edge.The lid is going to need to slide smoothly over top of the box part.

 

Tip #2: you can see how for the bottom box- I indented a pinch to make the box part smaller than the lid.  

 

Here is how I put the glue on the bottom. I know you can barely see the glue, but it is there about 1/4" for sure in from the sides.

When you have the box totally assembled, you may have some weird crack lines. So I like to fill these in with Liquid Pearls or Stickles. It makes like a "weld".

I decorated this box with a ribbon. super simple. This die gives you the choice of 3 different bows. Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Bow-Tied another fave bow i LOVE to use is:Sizzix Bigz Die - French Bow

 

I used the glitter cardstock by Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock.  It is soo pretty.

finish it off with a button in the centre. I adhered the bow down with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner. Works perfectly! I left the box like this-I didn't think it needed any more to complete it.

 

Thanks for looking! Now go fill it with chocolates or candy!

What a cute way to spruce up those little boxes we all have kicking around and can't bear to throw out but don't look good enough to reuse. And how much better could it look with all the sparkle and shine. Love it!!!
