Just in time for Valentine’s Day! These Ghiradelli Chocolate boxes are very simple to make. The box on the left was made using a transparency sheet. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Baroque Motifs stamp set and stamped the images using white and brown Stazon. You will need to use Stazon on the transparency sheet as regular ink will rub off. The box on the left was made using vellum card stock. Baroque Motifs was also used. I stamped the swirls using white Stazon and the flowers were stamped in Cameo Coral dye ink. I used sticky tape to seal the bottom and side flaps. The tops were punched and tied with ribbon.
Tips: The key to folding these boxes is sharp score lines. Use your bone folder to make crisp creases. Also, be aware, the vellum card stock can tear, so be careful while working with it. I scored the transparency sheet and vellum first, then stamped the images. I then let the ink dry for a few minutes before doing any folding. That way your images won’t smear.
There are several types of Ghiradelli chocolates, so you pick your ink and ribbon to match.
Here is the pattern: (For the bottom, the two longer pieces fold in together first. Then fold in the two cut pieces) Let me know if you have any questions: blumoon@comcast.net Have fun!
