If you remember seeing the Sweet Little Boxes (157628) in the retiring January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, you might have thought they were only for Valentine’s Day and the designer paper in the Suite was also only for Valentine’s Day. But here I have decorated this assembled Sweet Little Box with “Valentine” paper and a brand new stamp set. So you can stock up while they are half-price and have them on hand!
These Sweet Little Boxes are on page 9 of the Spring Mini in the Sweet Talk Suite. The boxes are a small size and are food safe. You can stick a gift card inside, a small gift like a necklace or earrings, or maybe some candy or a small cookie. The boxes assemble easily and even come with adhesive on the sides! I cut a piece of the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, the purple stripe, which can be for any occasion. This paper is on sale for 50% off, by the way. I cut a piece 3 3/8″ x 7 1/4″ and wrapped it around with the seam at the back of the box. You could also cut a front and back piece to just glue on the front and back of the box. I also cut a very slim piece for the top of the box, 2 1/2″ x 1/2″.
I stamped some flowers and leaves from the True Beauty Stamp Set to decorate the box. This is a new stamp set and Bundle with the dies in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I used Blushing Bride and So Saffron ink for the two large flowers and Melon Mambo for the small ones for a pop of brighter color. The leaves and stem were all stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. Then I used the Organic Beauty Dies to cut them all out. The little greeting is also in the True Beauty Stamp Set.
For embellishments, I used a little Brushed Brass Butterfly and some of the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels on the flowers. I love how this little box turned out! Just remember, during the Last Chance Sale you can save 50% on both the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Little Boxes!
