I kept seeing these adorable heart shaped treat holders on Pinterest but everyone linked to a foreign demonstrator with instructions in french. Unfortunately for me I don’t know any french. I finally found one with some photographs with measurements in centimeters so I started with that and tried to convert to inches and round it up to make it even. Played around with it a little bit until I got measurements that worked for me. They are much easier to make than they might seem. So let’s get to it.
I started by creating this version for my Stamper’s Club. This was one of their February club projects and uses the All My Love Designers Series paper. The stamp set I used for my words is Petal Palette. The little box on the inside holds a Lindor Truffle – the strawberries & cream version for Valentine’s Day. Cut your strip of Designer Series paper to be 1-1/2″ wide and 12″ long. Fold it in half. Then put some tear & tape on the end on the outside and curl the two ends together to form the heart.
To make the box I used a 3-1/2″ square of card stock – Lovely Lipstick for this one. Score all four sides at 1″ and snip two sides and fold to form a box. The tear & tape is perfect for this project. Use it to create the box and then use it on the bottom and one end to add the box inside the heart.

After my stamp club made these I decided to make another one as an alternate project for my January Paper Pumpkin kit. I added the Animal Expedition Designer Series paper – which coordinates with the kit and the Baker’s twine to make some of these hearts out of the kit contents.
The box for this project comes from the pillow box in the paper pumpkin kit. The stamp set, ink spot and white label are all part of the kit too. If you’d like to see a Facebook Live video of this project and my other alternate projects from the January Be Mine Valentine kit go here.
