This cute and simple Valentine Triangle Box was inspired by Windy Ellard’s Merry & Bright Truffle Boxes.  This box is so easy to make.  Once I got started making them, it was hard to stop.

Are you curious what’s inside my box?

Yep, I put a Truffle inside my box, but it’s big enough for many kinds of candy.

Easy Triangular Treat Box

I’m on the Design Team for Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and I’m hosting this weeks’s challenge- Use Your Stuff #294 Something New.  Please visit Use Your Stuff and enter something you’ve made with new product.  I chose to make this Easy Triangular Treat Box with Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous new paper, Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Paper: Painted with Love Specialty DSP, Gold Foil, Melon Mambo
Accessories: Love Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack, Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies (heart), 1 -1/4″ punch, 1′ punch

 

Directions to make the Easy Triangular Treat Box-

Need 2- 2″ x 8″ strips of cardstock or DSP

As shown on “A” use a ruler and draw a line from the 1″ mark to the score line at 3″ at the top of the cardstock.  Do this again from the 1″ mark to the 3″ score line at the bottom of the cardstock.  Do the same thing from the other end to the 5″ score line.  Use your bone folder and score on all four of these lines.

As shown on “B” use a ruler and draw a line from the 1/2″ mark to the score line at 3″ at the top of the cardstock.  Do this again from the 1/2″ mark to the 3″ score line at the bottom of the cardstock.  Do the same thing from the other end to the 5″ score line.  Cut the cardstock along the four lines you drew.  My picture shows the cardstock with these pieces already removed.

Put Tear and Tape on the center square of the A piece. Line up the center square of the B piece and adhere together.  Put Tear and Tape on one side of the B piece.

Line up the sides of the A pieces behind the B piece and adhere.  The back of the box is open to put candy in.  Bring it up and put a hole through all the layers and add ribbon to hold the box together.

Please email me if you have any questions.  Beth@StampingMom.com.

Saturday night we went to church and then had awesome fajitas made by Steve.  We played a game of Cribbage and then just like that…another kid went back to college.  We’ll miss you Ryan.  Well actually, I’ll see you tomorrow when we meet you in Ankeny to bring you the things you forgot.  What a smart kid to go to college 45 min from our house.  OK, so I must admit Ryan didn’t technically forget anything.  He has a room mate gift exchange and I had written on the package it was from Ryan.  He told me it was Secret Santa and I wasn’t supposed to put his name on it.  I took it in my Stamping Studio to make a cute tag to put over the name, got distracted and didn’t make the tag and didn’t bring back the gift.  Oops!  I guess Ryan would’ve been better off not mentioning the name on the package.

Have a great week!

 

Marcelyn Mondays

Ok, so I missed a couple of Marcelyn Mondays.  Things were crazy at my house over the holidays as I’m sure they were for you as well.  I probably need to change the name to Marcelyn on some Mondays!

Marcelyn made many beautiful cards, card sets and framed art with the Night in Bethlehem set.  Even though the Holiday Catalog sales period is over, this set was very popular and is still available.

I’m so blessed to have Marcelyn as my friend, stamping team mate and fellow BSFer.  Love you Marcelyn!
