Valentine’s Project: Take-Out Box

In about 10 minutes, I decorated this cute Valentine’s Day take-out box with scraps from the Topstitch kit.

Materials:

• Topstitch Kit of the Month – Best Option
• Dimensional Elements – Hearts
• Clear Sparkles
• Exclusive Inks Pad – Hollyhock
• Sponge from Texture Tools
• Organdy Ribbon Rounds – Baby Pink
• Take-Out Box (Michael’s)
• “Love” ribbon (American Crafts–got it in the dollar bin at Michael’s)
• Glue Dots

Instructions:

1. Cut 1 x 10″ strip of B&T Duos patterned paper from Topstitch.  I used the reverse side of the sheet with the large flowers.
2. Glue strip around the box.
3. Cut 10″ of the “Love” ribbon and glue on top of the paper strip.
4. Dab the sponge tool in the Hollyhock ink pad.  Apply ink to the heart piece.  Keep applying ink until you have even coverage on the heart.
5. Add Clear Sparkles to the heart.  Apply heart to box with Glue Dot.
6. Trim some organdy ribbon and tie a bow on the handle of the box.

Fill box with your favorite treats and hand them out to your sweets!
