Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- 1-7/8" x 5-7/8" of blue with splotches of pink and vanilla tapestry design from Woven Threads Designer Series Paper scored at 2" x 3-7/8"
- 2-1/2" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Rococo Rose Cardstock
Remove the protective coating from a Clear Tiny Treat Box and fold it together.
Fold the strip of Woven Threads Designer Paper on the score lines and insert it into the box so the bottom, left, and right sides of the box have the designer paper showing through.
Fill the Tiny Treat Box with treats and close the lid.
As you are ready to stamp using the Varied Vases Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Varied Vases Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Seaside Spray Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square.
Pick out the large, open, scallop-edged heart framelit that cuts out a heart that is 1-7/8" wide from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Place it on top of the sentiment stamped vanilla square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Tip: This die cuts out the center heart shape which you are using on this project. It also cuts out a thin, scallop-edged heart frame. Use the Take Your Pick tools to remove the heart frame and throw it away or use it on another project.
Pick out the filigree heart thinlit from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Place it on top of the Rococo Rose square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the filigree heart cut out to the stamped vanilla solid heart cut out so the solid heart is centered inside the filigree heart and you can read the sentiment in the center.
Cut a 5" piece of Linen Thread.
Fold the thread in half. Stick the folded ends of the thread through a hole in the top left of the filigree heart from the back side. Feed the two loose ends of the thread through the loop in the twine and pull it tight. Be careful not to pull too tight or you will tear the filigree heart.
Cut a 14" piece of each of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim and Rococo Rose 1/2" Gathered Ribbon.
Lay the Lace Trim on top of the Gathered Ribbon. Then, lay them both on your work surface so the Lace Trim is on the bottom.
Place the treat box on the ribbon in the center so the sides with the designer paper will be the sides that the ribbon goes up.
Tie a half knot on the top of the box lid using both the Lace Trim and Gathered Ribbon.
Tie the two loose ends of the Linen Thread on the heart tag to the half knot in the trim/ribbon using a knot.
Finish tying the trim/ribbon in a knot. Tighten it down as much as you can.
Trim the ends of the Lace Trim and Ribbon into sharp angles. Trim the ends of the Linen Thread as well.
