Hi friends! Wooooo I am really getting this project made and posted in the nick of time before Valentine’s Day! Yeah! Happy Friday! I am wishing you a weekend full of love and laughter with the ones you love! And, it’s a work holiday weekend too. Lots to be excited about. We don’t really have plans for Valentine’s day so maybe we’ll go to our favorite pizza spot and just enjoy being together. I hardly ever see my lovely husband anymore! I am looking forward to hanging out with him – my best friend. This past week was crazy busy. I’m taking a class at night and we got our taxes done one evening after work…this old girl is tired. But never too tired for crafting!
For today’s project I made some over the top treat boxes for some of my Galentines at work. Hee hee. The gurls always appreciate a chocolate treat. All the supplies I used today are from Anna Griffin. The paper, the dies, the embellishments – everything. It all mixes and matches together in the best vintage way. I buy my Anna Griffin supplies straight from her website or from HSN! I added ribbon and glitter and gems from my stash. These treat box dies are brand new – they cut like a dream and go together very easily! I already am thinking of ideas to make these boxes for Halloween!
The boxes hold a fair amount of candy and would definitely hold a small gift – like earrings or a gift card. The dies set has different rectangles to use to cut an opening in the box – like I did here. They you put some acetate behind the opening. You also could leave the box solid without the window – total preference. Okay, enough yapping, I have lots of photos to share!!
This photo shows the tops of the boxes – because as I always say – more is more! Hee hee. I added some gold paint splatters too and a doily, and and and… 🙂
Do you ever go through your stash and think… That ribbon is probably from 20 years ago!? LOL. You never know what you might find in your crafty stash!
Thank you for stopping by today! It’s good to see you! Happy Valentine’s Day! Happy Galentine’s Day! XOXO
