Here is another Valentine Treat Box – it is a triangle shaped box and actually very easy to make and the best part is you don’t need any adhesive to keep the box shut – the ribbon holds it shut!  I used the Love You Much Bundle for this project too.  Today is the last day to order the bundle at 20% off.   You can still order all the pieces – the Love You Much stamp set, Candy Lane Designer Series Paper and the Heart to Heart punch – they will just be regular price. 

Ok – onto the project – the box idea is from a demonstrator named Irene that lives in Germany.  My parents are from Germany so I grew up with them speaking German to me.  I would not say that I can really speak German – I did take classes in college and I can muddle through, I can even read some and understand – but it is one of those things where you really need to do it all the time – and well I don’t.  But I was able to watch the video that was in German and understand what she was saying – I just had to convert all the measurements to inches – since that is what we are used to.  What I ended up with looks like the box she created whether or not the measurements are exactly the same as hers – I’m not really sure – but mine works.  So here is what I did.  Cut a piece of card stock in half long ways – so it is 4-1/4″ by 11″.  Then score it in half all the way across at the 5-1/2″ mark on the long side.  On each short side mark the center – this is 2-1/8″.  Now this is the only tricky part – you have to line up the score marks on a diagonal on your paper cutter so that you can score from the 2-1/8″ mark to the 5-1/2″ spot – you do this on all four sides – which basically forms a diamond shaped.  Fold on all the scores lines so that you make a triangle box.  Punch holes through both layers at the top to feed your ribbon through.   Once you get it – it really is easy.  Here is the finished picture:
