Valentine's Day Treats!

I made these up real quick yesterday afternoon so I could have them sitting at each person's place at the table this morning! Forget the chocolate, I COULD EAT THAT DESIGNER PAPER! I thought they turned out so cute!

Valentine's Day Candy Box!

This box reminds me of the old-timey candy boxes we used to get at Valentine's Day! I can just smell the chocolates inside! The recipe is below! All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!, except for the candy! Recipe: Paper: Chocolate Chip - 5-1/2 X 4-1/4(4); Real Red - 5-1/2 X 4-1/4 (2). The top of the box is scored at 1-1/16" on all four sides. The bottom of the box is scored at 1" on all four sides. Real Red scrap; Very Vanilla scrap; Cardboard - 5-1/2 X 4-1/4(2). The cardboard gets glued to the Chocolate Chip card stock before you run it through the Big Shot. It just makes the box a little more substantial!
