Valentine 2-4-6-8 Oldie But Goody!!!

Hi Everyone,

Good golly I’ve been slammed with activities and feel so bad that I haven’t posted in a bit again. Just when I think my calendar is clear for a day or two something happens!

Anyway I stamped with the Pace Center for Girls again yesterday and we made a card and were supposed to make this  Valentine Treat.

….I forgot the set ups so we had to improvise. I will show that another day. For today it’s a 2-4-6-8 box and a tutorial.

This is such a cute-easy and fast treat holder to make with just 1/2 sheet of cardstock.

SAM_3152

using your scoring tool score at 2-4-6-8

SAM_3153

Turn paper and score at 1 1/2

SAM_3154

Cut up to the 1 1/2 score line at the 2-4-6-8 scores

SAM_3155

Random stamp your images

SAM_3156

I used two heart from Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set

SAM_3157

Add Sticky Strip to the inside 1/2 tab

SAM_3158

Peel Liner off

SAM_3159

SAM_3160

An easy way to line it up without messing up is to fold the tab in and fold half of what’s left over.

SAM_3161

Form into box

SAM_3162

Fold 1 1/2 tabs in

SAM_3163

Add sticky strip to this last tab and close (I forgot that picture)

SAM_3164

Pinch the side in a bit as shown

SAM_3165

Now cut “V’s” or notches on both sides

SAM_3167

That is where you will tie your ribbon and you are done. Just don’t forget to add the treats! hehe

That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed this little “Oldie but Goody” Tutorial.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!! If you need a cute little treat holder or holder’s for your kids, co-workers or whatever this is by far the easiest and fastest you’ll get. I did ten of these in about 20 minutes. So have fun with it.

Till next time……
