Hi Friends!

My project today is a Valentine's Day Treat Box that will hole 2 Merci Chocolates or one Fun Sized KitKat Bar.  It measures  3 3/4  x  1 3/4  x  1/2".  I used Sweet Conversations stamp set, Sweet Hearts dies and Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper.  You can get 5 of these boxes from 1 sheet of 12 x 12" DSP.

I started with a piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper sized

I scored the  8" side at:

3 3/4  and  4 1/4".

I scored the  2 3/4" side at:

I cut a label from Highland Heather Cardstock using the Sweet Hearts dies.

I stamped the dots image, from Sweet Conversations stamp set, randomly onto the tag with Highland Heather Ink.

I stamped a heart onto Real Red Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Ink.

I cut the heart out using the coordinating die from Sweet Hearts dies.

I attached the heart to the Highland Heather tag with Dimensionals.

I put my two Merci Chocolates inside the box and 

I punched a hole in the top of the box with a 1/8" hole punch.

I ran Real Red Ruffled Ribbon through the hole, put the tag onto it and tied a bow.

Next, I cut three small hearts from Highland Heather Cardstock using the Sweet Hearts dies.

I attached them on the lower front of the box with Mini Dimensionals.

I added some Wink of Stella Glitter to the 3 small hearts and for the final touch I added 3 Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tag.
