Happy Valentines Day - Flap Boxes and Card

Happy Valentines Day... with a tutorial for you today to share my love... 

Along with another slight variant of my Double Treat Flap Box . I actually don't know if my son likes liquorice... but he loves Caramel Nibbles... so I thought I had better make another of the Double Treat Flap Box... so that I could fill the large drawer with chocolate treats that I know he likes...

In the image above... see the box to the top left...  as this time round I didn't add any ribbon... as luckily the flap sits so nicely onto the box section... and so it doesn't actually need any ribbon to keep everything closed... 

I have to admit that I prefer this simpler version... what about you?

Oh and click here for more details on the Valentine Pop Out Concertina Card shown... 

Fancy making this Double Flap Box Treat Holder Box for yourself... well here you go...

Flap Panel 

• Cut card 26.5 x 10.5cm. 
• Score LANDSCAPE at 10.5 & 16cm
• Valley Bone Fold
  
• TIP - if you valley and mountain bone fold the score line that will sit on the top... then the fold is much neater and flatter... and so it doesn't need the ribbon...
• Add ribbon if required to inside

Sleeve

• Score whilst LANDSCAPE at 4,14, 18 & 28cm
• Mountain bone fold
• Adhere using narrow tab

Large Drawer

Decoration ... Then just decorate as required. 

• I used the retired 2017 Merry Music papers as so perfect... as these sheets have either "catherine wheel" shapes or music notes... 
• I used card mats 9.9cm square, Paper panels 9.4cm square and 26" of Ribbon
• Be sure to add any ribbon on the inside of the Flap Panel before you adhere any boxes or other panels...
  
• Adhere the Sleeve to the bottom section of the Flap Panel.. pop in the drawer... and then adhere the Open Top Box on top... 
• BIG TIP!!! Only apply glue on the back of the Open Top Box  to adhere the sections to the Flap Panel... if you apply glue to the central section of the Flap Panel and/or the back of the drawer... then you will not be open to open the drawer!! 
• White panels 8cm square on the front and 5cm square on the inside...
• 4 spogs in the liquorice wheels just a 3/4" punched circle and a small punched heart (using a long retired punch)
• Record is embossed on Basic Grey card using black embossing powder and die cut using Layered Circles dies
• Centre of the record is a 1" punched circle plus a die cut heart (Sweet & Sassy dies) and a larger die cut heart on the inside...
• Quickly snip the sentiment " You're My Favourite Song" to remove the word "song" ... and add eg HUSBAND as required...
