Valentine's Day Treat Holders

Here are some of the treat holders I am working on for Valentine's Day. I bought the Heart Top Box from the new release at My-Creative-Time.com:

This is a four piece die set and very easy to decorate and assemble. You cut the box die out twice for the front and back of the box and the die set has two panel die pieces for the front and sides of this box. Here are photos of the box and showing the side panels:


I used PaperTreyInk kraft card stock for the boxes and the panels are papers from a vintage pad of paper by Triplicate that I bought on Amazon. I used red washi tape from the stash to decorate the top of the box. All I have to do is fill the box with chocolate treats and add a tag.... I used the lollipop die set from MFT Stamps for my Tootsie Pop holder and I used the Sizzix Rosette die for the rosette. The cream doily was die cut from a small doily die from my stash:


Here is a photo of the lollipop die set as well as the Rosette dies I used:



Also my accessories for when I make the rosettes:


First I have a dauber handle tool that I use to make my rosettes with - I punched out a small circle from my brown craft mat and glued that to the bottom of the dauber handle tool. When I use the hot glue to make my rosettes I press down on the top of the rosette using this dauber tool and I do not have to touch the hot glue on the rosette. This next photo shows the circles I have made as patterns for my tulle I use on the rosettes:

I keep the different sized circles in a bag so when I need a certain size I can easy lay it on the tulle and cut out my circle to fit whatever size rosette I make.

Added sparkle red tulle to the front of the rosette and metallic red thread behind the die cut heart I added to the center. This next treat holder was so easy to assemble:



The die set to make this box that holds four Hershey Nugget candies is:


This Art Impression die set has small pieces to die cut card stock pieces for the side panels of the box but I wanted to use scrap pink gingham card stock I had on hand so I just measured the panels and cut out my pieces and put them on the box panels using liquid glue. I used SimonSaysStamp Cotton Candy card stock for my boxes and I die cut a heart from the box top for a window. I used clear sheet to line that cut out piece. To keep boxes closed I used a little velcro dot. 

For the small pillow box treat holders I used a die set from FunStampersJourney to make the box and I used red card stock for those:


Here is a photo of the die set


The hearts I put on the fronts of the pillow boxes are the hearts I had cut out of the pink boxes for the windows:


Still have to add embellishments but mostly done with treat holders and the bags they will go into. Happy to have the Heart Top Box die set from MCT - nice size and free standing!
