Valentine Treat Mail Box

Even though Valentine's is upon us.  In a previous post I promised that I would supply the directions to the little mailbox that holds two Hershey Nuggets.  I bet you could even use 4 Hershey Miniatures if you wanted.

I got the directions from one of my team mates at a recent event who CASE'D them from Jan Stamping Creations. Thank you Christine Pierce! Here are the directions.

Valentine Mailbox Nugget Treat Holder

January 2017

You know I LOVE treat holders and I’ve seen a few of these on the internet, so had to make one up!! These go together fast and would make great favors for ;hildren, teachers, well…….just about anyone that loves candy. They hold two Hershey Nuggets

Supplies

Stamp Set: Sealed With Love (142815)

Card Stock: Real Red (102482) 3 ½” x 1”; 2 – 1” x ¼”

Whisper White (100730) 4 5/8” x 1 ¼”, ¾” x ½”

Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack (142733) 3” x 1”

Ink: Real Red (126949)

Punch: Confetti Hearts Border (137415)

Big Shot: Layering Circles Framelits Dies (141705)

Instructions:

• Score the Real Red Card Stock 3 ½” x 1” at 1 1/8” and 2 3/8”

• Run the Real Red piece through the Big Shot using the smallest Layering Circle Framelit, rounding

both ends (Sharon speaking, we actually used the Large Oval punch to round the ends, it fit a little better since the opening is more oval than round)

• Score the Whisper White 4 5/8” x 4 ¼” at 5/8” and 3 5/8”

• Run the bone folder over each end of the Sending Love Designer Series Paper to loosen up the

fibers. This helps mold the paper for the “bend” of the mailbox

• Add Tear & Tape to both long sides of the Designer Series Paper and adhere to center part of the

Whisper White 4 5/8” x 1 ¼” piece.

• Burnish the score lines on the Whisper White piece well. Add Tear & Tape to each end of the 

Whisper White piece.

• Wrap the Whisper White piece around the Real Red piece starting with the 5/8” score line and the

gently folding (not creasing) the top over and adhering the other end.

• Adhere two Hershey’s Nuggets together with Tear & Tape. Add a piece of Tear & Tape to the

bottom nugget and slide into the mailbox.

• Add glue dots to the back part of the Real Red and adhere

• Adhere the two pieces of Real Red Card Stock 1” x ¼” together and add to the side of the mailbox

with glue dot.

• Stamp “Sending Love” on Whisper White ¾” x ½” and add to flag with glue dot

• Punch small heart with Confetti Heart Border Punch and add to front with glue dot

 

This cute little mailbox could be used for other occasions too.
