Sweet Talk Box for Crafty Collaborations Valentines Blog Hop

I've used Basic White cardstock and Sweet Talk DSP for my Valentines inspired gift box.

The main part of the box starts with a piece of Basic White card (7" x 7"). Score on all four sides at 2"

The lid measures 5" x 5" and all four sides are scored at ½"

I've created the tabs by cutting into the corners as shown in the photo

To decorate the box you need four pieces of Real Red card measuring 2⅞" x 1⅞" and one measuring 2⅞" x 2⅞". The designer series paper measures 2¾" x 1¾" (four of these) and 1 piece measuring 2¾" x 2¾"

Put Tear n Tape on the outside of all four tabs of the box and on one of the tabs of the lid

Tuck the tabs into the inside of the box and stick the glued tab of the lid into the inside of the back of the box.

I've punched a Real Red and Basic White heart using the Heart Punch pack and stamped the sentiment from Daisy Laine in Real Red ink. The ribbon is wrapped round the box and each end is stuck to the back of the heart to form a band
