Loose Valentine's shaker treat box

Hello and happy Sunday!  I have a cute little treat box for you today and I've made it extra special by adding a shaker element.  I typically don't like to make traditional shaker cards unless I'm hand delivering them.  I always hand deliver treats so a shaker box works perfectly for those.  This box doesn't take a lot of supplies to make and once you get the hand of them, they're really pretty quick and easy.  I have a video tutorial over on my YouTube page you will want to watch to see how I put it together.  You can see it here by clicking this link.  You will notice in the photos below I added an additional piece of dsp to the inside of the box top.  You could see the glue lines through the vellum, so I covered it.  I didn't cut the inside piece at the same time as the top two.  Because it's vellum, if you're off a tiny bit, it really doesn't show through.
