DIY Mini Gable Box Valentine Treat Idea
January 21, 2018
Are you making little Valentine Treats this year?
Don't miss the perfect little treat boxes: Silver Mini Gable boxes NEW from Stampin' UP! on pg 13 of your 2018 Occasions catalog!!
These super cute mini gable boxes can be decorated with any colors, theme or embellishments (and for more than Valentine's day of course!), and filled with candies, treats, small note pad and pen, jewelry, crafting supplies, or of course, my favorite, a little stash of post-it notes :) The "fillable" area measures 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 4".
I have created some sweet little boxes all decorated with the Heart Happiness floral heart (colored with Stampin' Blends markers) and some Petal Passion designer paper wrapped around the box. I cut the Petal Passion paper to 1-3/4" wide x 12" long and it fits perfectly around the box.
For the Real Red heart box above, I also stamped the "Sure do love you" banner with Real Red ink from the "Sure do Love You" stamp set (pg 19 of the Occasions catalog) and die cut it with the banner framelit that is included in the Sure do Love You bundle. Each box also has Silver Foil die cut hearts. All of the hearts are die cut with the Sweet & Sassy heart framelits.
ABOVE: I think this box would be GORGEOUS for a wedding favor or bridal shower favor if the brides colors included peach. The box includes a Peekaboo Peach cardstock die cut heart behind the colored floral heart, and Peekaboo Peach crinkled seam binding ribbon.
I colored all of the floral hearts on these boxes with my Stampin' Blends markers after stamping the heart in Memento Black ink onto Thick Whisper White cardstock.
ABOVE: this box was decorated with a more dramatic color scheme of Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Fig, Pink Pirouette and Elegant Eggplant... I combined all 4 of those colors, plus the Old Olive in the leaves for this mini gable box!
BELOW: Real Red is always a great choice for Valentine's treats :)

Patty, these are fabulous!! You do such a wonderful job with all products from SU!
Funny story, I got my mini gable boxes out today, can't believe I still have all sizes on gable boxes back when SU! sold them!!!

Good morning Patty,
I don't normally do Valentines but these boxes are adorable and I just might have to make some for some of the residents at the nursing home that I work in. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
