{Valentine Kisses} + Tutorial

This is such a CUTE way to present some kisses to your special Valentine!  As soon as I saw THESE from Inking Out of the Box, I scrapped my 'To Do List' for the day and figured out how to make them instead.


I decided to use some cute paper to line the bottom of the holder and LOVE how it turned out!

Want to make your own?  Here's a quick tutorial to tell you how.  Sorry about not taking step-by-step pictures for this...I got too excited and forgot!  Hopefully my instructions will make sense.

{Supplies Needed:}

*Cardstock (6" x 3 1/2")
*Transparency Paper (3 1/8" x 2 5/8")
*Patterned Paper (3 1/2" x 1 1/2")
*Adhesive of choice
*Paper Trimmer
*Kisses

Score cardstock at 1 1/2", 3", and 4 1/2".  Cut a square out of the center of the box measuring approx. 2 1/2" x 2".  Adhere transparency to inside of box.  Fold on all score lines.  Adhere patterned paper to the inside of the front flap.  Tape 3 Kisses on the patterned paper (I used a tiny piece of double sided tape on each Kiss).  Now put adhesive on the inside of the back flap and fold into a triangular shape and press.  Embellish the front however you want. 

If I've confused you, just look at the pictures of the finished product and hopefully that will help!
