It Was Only A Kiss - Wendy's Heart Boxes

Hello Crafty Friends!
I love little gift bags and gift boxes.... they are always such fun and so handy for special little gifts.
So I went SWOON SWOON SWOON over Wendy's little heart boxes. How sweet!
Do you love the one with the handles or the one with the fiber thread the most? For me it's the red fibre... really makes these LOVEly boxes even more special looking!

Hello Everyone,

Today I was still in the mood to play with the wonderful paper from Photo Play and wanted to do a project that was fun, easy and quick. I searched Pinterest for a free downloadable  heart box  template and was quite surprised to find one straight off the bat.

What you will need for this cute heart treat box:
*a free printable from pinterest
*a Crop-o-dile
*Blazing Red Stazon ink
*Photo Play Crazy for you paper
*Elements sticker sheet called Wild Love
*double sided tape
*some thread or twine for decoration
*small brads to attach handles
*small piece of cheese cloth or fabric

 Then I used the template to cut the shape from The Photo Play 'Crazy for you' paper and folded the paper on the marked fold lines and that gave the shape of the heart box. I inked the edges of the heart box shape with the Stazon Blazing Red Ink and was now ready to decorate the front and back of the heart. I decorated the heart shapes before I folded and adhered the box together, it just makes it a little easier.

 I used the cute little bunnies and the heart banner stickers to decorate the hearts. For a little bit more texture I also used a small piece of cheese cloth under the bunny images.

Then added double-sided tape to the bottom small flap as well as the side flap (picture below) and put the heart shaped box together. It is a very easy process when you have previously folded the edges.

When the box was put together, I cut two 1 inch wide strips of the paper folded them in half and I used  these strips for the handles on the heart box. I punched the holes using my crop-o-dile on each side front and back and used some small brads from my supplies to fix the handles onto the box.

With the first little heart box being so simple to make, I decided to make another one using the same paper and process but using some of the other stickers from the Photo Play Elements Sticker sheet for decoration. Instead of making the handles, I tried something different and used some red fiber thread from my supplies to tie the heart box together at the top (below).

 This is such a super fun and easy project and when finished you can add your favourite sweets in it and give it to that someone special.

I hope you enjoyed this fun project.
