Heart Day is coming up soon. If you're still looking for a darling gift idea, I've got you covered!
This heart box is super easy to make, the printable is super cute and I have a video to show just how easy it is.
Included on the printable (and in the video) is a bonus project idea: a partial pop-up card.
I believe this partial pop-up is the way she was originally meant to be. You could use it for a card or a place card for a valentine party or maybe a valentine cookie party.
I show in the video the basics on putting this together. The download includes a back piece to make her more polished. Then I added a white scallop writing panel just to dress it up a little more.
I thought this vintage image would also made a super cute heart box topper. The box is large enough to hold three chocolates.
I like the way this heart box goes together. It works better for me than dealing with all the tabs that come along with most heart boxes. The video included all the tips.
The download comes with a template for the top and bottom hearts for the box. You don't have to use my heart templates to make a heart box this way. This method also works for heart dies or hearts that you have cut with your electronic cutter.
Here's the video:

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people. Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner. If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.
So glad you stopped by. Have a wonderful week!
This chocolate box is just delicious, Lori!! How sweet! I have seen the video and it seems so easy to do! Brilliant idea to make the shape of the box simple to do! Also the matching card looks so cute, and thanks so much for the cute image! Love very much this project!

ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteYou create the most adorable things! I have a Valentine Tea Party every year for my three daughter-in-loves and their mommas where we exchange cards & gifts. This sweet box is perfect to add to the gift bag of goodies I've made. Thank you for all the inspiration you give me!
Hugs,
Debbie
This is adorable! thank you for sharing this fun tutorial. i am going to give it a try. i love the aqua and red combo and have been using that a lot in my valentine's the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteoh my gracious to weird cause I was just finishing up a heart box like this for the cafe....this way is so much easier to construct...did our egg box this way....yours is super fantastic
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet Valentine treat box, Lori!! It is decorated so pretty! Awesome video! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love Heart Day! Love your box and card, so so pretty! Enjoyed watching the video..thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet, great idea cutting a decorative edge around the bottom to make it easier to open and it gives it such a great finished look too!

It's a delightful way to present a little chocolate gift. Love the retro look of the valentine topper too. TFS
ReplyDeleteOh my Lori! What a cute treat box! Your attention to detail is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing and so beautiful. You are so creative. Thank you for the freebies ❤️
ReplyDeleteHi Lori~
ReplyDeleteI downloaded this sweet image and printed it. It looks smaller than your video. The girl card measures 3" across and 3 7/8" down...is that how big it should be?
And I have one more question...I have the same printer as you (love it!) and notice I do not get true bright colors in printing. Like for example this girl prints out more of a park peach and the white in it is yellowish instead of white. Do you know if there are settings or ?
Thank you,
Debbie
Hi, Debbie! I'll email you when I get home. I do have a printout with me and the entire card (not just her) measures approx. 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". The printer issue could be settings, I'll put that in the email. And also type of paper...
DeleteDarling creation!
ReplyDeleteLooks easy to put
together. Thank you.

Omgosh, adorable! Love, love, love this!
ReplyDeleteThe box is so wonderful--love all the elements! The pink, red & blue is a great color combo, too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Both the box and that pop up! Must check out that video because yes... those tabs!! I've always thought of them as a necessary evil, but maybe not? Thanks for the inspiration!
