club projects - project 1 love you much

Well today is officially a snow day here. Our first of the season. It's bad enough that they canceled school, but people are still out and about. More is coming though and this time it's ice, so hopefully everyone stays safe.
Last night we squeaked in club before it all hit.
Here is one of the items we made. I got this idea from fellow demo Dawn Griffith. This little box will stand up (the picture was easier to take laying down). It's a real cute gift idea for someone special. It opens up and holds chocolate one of my favorite things. :)

Here is what I used to make it and also some dimensions for those of you who would like to know. Also the Love you Much bundle is still on sale. Let me know if you are interested or see my Stampin' Up! site to order it. The sale ends Saturday.

Riding hood red cardstock - 2 1/2" x 11", scored at 2 3/4",3 1/4", 7 1/4", 7 3/4", 9 1/4", & 9 3/4"
After you score it attach dsp to back and fold with bone folder to get a crisp fold (make sure to stick well). Fold the next to last fold out to form a stair step.
The size of the dsp is 2 1/4" x 10 3/4". Here I used the new Candy Land paper with the stripes vertical.
I then pushed the stair step section (where the chocolate slides in) into my word window punch and pushed it in as far as it would go and punched (it should punch between the two score lines). That makes the hole for your chocolate to fit in.

Next attach the top of the folded dsp with a dimensional in each upper corner to the back of the cardstock (make sure bottom is flat on table, so it will stand up on it's own.).
then you place a piece of sticky strip on inside between score lines (see where brown ribbon is.) then you place one edge of chocolate ribbon in the middle and circle around and put the other end to match the others so both ends are in the inside. My ribbon is 10" of chocolate chip.

For the front of the box. I punched the hearts out of Riding hood red with the heart to heart punch and attached to box. I then placed dots on them with the gel pen.

For the front circle piece I punched out a piece of chocolate with the 1 3/4" circle punch and a pink piroutte with 1 1/4 punch. I then used markers and inked up the hugs and kisses stamp from the Love you much stamp set with the following colors (outside scallops and heart with dots with real red, words with chocolate chip). Then I huffed on it and stamped on whisper white paper. I then punched out the middle part with a 1" punch and the rest with the scallop circle punch (yes there is a hole in the middle but it will get covered up).
Then you layer the items (chocolate circle on bottom, followed by scallop stamped image with hole, then pink circle) then layer the hugs and kisses circle on top with a dimensional to help it pop up.

Once done with the circle items find the top (so heart is right side up) and place 3 dimensionals on the back at the top (leave bottom open).
Attach this to front of box so bottom half isn't touching anything.

Add a velcro dot to the bottom half of circle now and remove adhesive.
Make sure box is square before closing the box to attach velcro to other side (leave pieces connected and close, don't try to put each half of the velcro on separate it's too hard to match up.

The next step is to add chocolate and then you are done (if you haven't eaten it all by now. :) )
Hope these help. If you have questions let me know. Thanks
