Valentine's Treat Tutorial

Armed with a cuppa joe and some Valentine's chocolate, (wink)

here I am with your Valentine's Treat Tutorial!

My computer's behaving for the moment, so I'm hoping to whip this out in no time! :)

Click HERE to see the finished product post first!

Are you ready?

OK, let's go!

Step 1:

Cut cardstock to 6 1/2" x 2 5/8"

 Score at 2 3/4" and 3 1/4"

Step 2:

Punch hole in center of middle panel

(I used my good 'ole Stampin' Up Tool kit)

Step 3:

Crease the score lines

Step 4

Punch top flap with slit punch.

Here's what you want it to be able to do:

Step 5:

Decorate as desired.

(flaps untucked and laid out flat)

On backside, daughter stamped "To/From" and wrote names.

Step 6:

Insert suckers.

Step 7:

Tuck bottom flap under top flap.

We added white curly ribbon at this point & tied into a bow. :)

Step 8:

Stand back and sigh with a smile.

Done! :)

This is a very kid-friendly project...

I only cut, scored, and punched.

3 year old inserted the suckers (gotta help!) :)

5 year old did the rest...this was for HER class, afterall! :)

(stamping, punching hearts, gluing, writing names, assembling)

NOTE: Measure your packaging before attempting.

  You may need to alter cardstock width (up to 3"?).

I like my treats to be snug...not so much cardstock overwhelming the project. :)

Well, what do you think?

 My 2nd Tutorial ever...may have to switch to video some day! lol
