A Little Treat Box

As promised yesterday, here is the little Treat Box I have made to match the Valentine card. I found the instructions in an old Magnolia magazine. I have made it several times and it's really easy and fun to put together and to decorate !




The box itself was made out of a 12 x 12 Kraft cardstock from Papermania, I then covered it with my new papers from prima ("Alla Prima" Collection). The stamped image is from Penny Black and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
My box will enter the challenges : "In the Bag/Box" with Craft your Passion, "Anything but a Card" with Simon Says Stamp and Show, "Treat Box or Bag" with Timeless Tuesday and "Valentine/Love and Animals" with Craft Us Crazy. Happy Crafting !

Hello Catherine. Oh my goodness! I love your treat box! The cat images are so cute and you've colorized them to perfection. I love the polka dot paper you used to cover your box in conjunction with the brown papers. I also love the soft yellow lace on the top of your box with the sweet,delicate roses and the metal heart charm. Thanks so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
