For this week’s Facebook Live, I made three “Bee”Mine Valentine’s using my Million Dollar in Sales Stamp Set: Queen Bee Bundle! It’s a fun play on words – and I think these are just FUN! I used candy that is readily available – all purchased from my grocery store!
Watch the replay here:
My first project is this cute box – measurements are below! This is perfectly sized for the long narrow candy sticks – and I love the Something Fancy tag dies – they make this look so cute! I love the new Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper too – what is it about Gingham that we love?
Measurements for box : 3 1/4 x 11
Scored at 3/4” and 2 1/2” down long side; scored at 5 1/8” and 5 7/8” along short side
DSP: 1 5/8” x 5”- cut 2
Next project is a simple heart box with chocolates – I used the large Queen Bee for this one – it seemed to fit the size of the box better.
And last, I took the same idea and decorated a candy pouch – my plan is to make quite a few of these for my friends and family – it’s always great to let people know they are loved! Additional supplies are listed below!
