Heartfelt Creations - Birthday Treat Box


Good morning and Happy New Year!  I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and made some cherished memories with friends and family.  I had my in-laws here for Christmas and then we had some friends over for New Year's.  Things were hectic but it made for a fabulous time.

Today I want to share with you a project that is perfect for a birthday or even Valentine's Day.  I found the tutorial for this adorable little treat box on SCS HERE.  I used patterned paper from CTMH's Sonoma paper pack and then embellished with flowers I made using Heartfelt Creations' Flora Grande 1 and 2 stamp sets.  You can get the measurements and all the details of how I made my box on the Heartfelt Creations Blog. You'll also see some amazing projects made by the other members of the Design Team so I hope you'll check it out.

Once again, I used the Inka-Gold paste in Old Gold and Violet to create my flowers. This time, instead of using a cream or white cardstock base for my flowers, I used light purple and sponged a light coat of the Violet paste on top and then sponged the edges with the Old Gold.  I also sponged the edges of my sentiment and mat with Old Gold.  I love the shine you get because it's subtle and gives any of your projects an elegant look.

For my treat, I added a small bag of pretzels because all the Christmas candy was eaten; most of it my me.  You could also add a stash of small cards, tags or even a couple of votive candles.  Isn't that a great little gift for a birthday or hostess?
