A Valentine Treat Box for The Paper Players

It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players. This week Anne Marie is hosting a “Sweet Treats” Challenge: Create a Valentine card or 3D project with a food or treat theme. I took the quick and easy way out and opted to use one of Stampin’ Up!’s Tag a Bag Gift Boxes. What fun I had creating the tag go with it.  Enjoy!


The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Easy Gift Boxes

  • Easy peasy! Create a gift box for any occasion with Stampin’ Up!’s Tag a Bag Gift Boxes.  I elected to cover the box with Real Red Polka Dots paper from Polka Dot Parade collection to add to the Valentine vibe.
  • Tag…you’re it! This little collage tag is chock full of my favorite things.  A trio of Pearls, a retired Trinket Heart, and a Red Glimmer Paper Heart add a touch of bling.  The gold fibers attached to the Butterfly, were pulled from the Gold Bakers Twine.  And what about the FEB 14 banner?  Why, that came from an old rotary stamp I used during my teaching days!
  • Everything’s comin’ up roses!  A Real Red rose bud, created with the Spiral Flowers Originals Die adds a touch of elegance and romance! 

Currently, the box is filled with red tissue paper, but I do have plans to fill it with chocolate for Brady.  I started a diet on December 26, and have lost 10.5 pounds. I know very well that if I had a bag of chocolate in the house, I would eat it all before I would get this box filled and mailed. Sweets have that effect on me!
