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.

Time of Giving truffle box and gift tag Project 11 of the 12 Projects of Christmas

 Todays project in our 12 Projects of Christmas is a truffle treat box and matching gift tag.  They feature the Time of Giving stamp set and Giving Gifts dies.  Thanks for looking.  You can watch how I put my projects together over on my YouTube channel here https://youtu.be/cMP3AIJnac8 

The finished box size is 2 x 3 1/2 x 1 1/4”.  I stamped all over the cardstock before scoring.  It makes a nicer finish when you do it beforehand.

Here is the cutting template
