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.
