Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today sharing a tutorial on one of the many new and fabulous Valentine SVG files from Lori. I have been so giddy over these new treat containers, cards, and 3D decor files that I want to make them all!
But I will rein myself back in and focus on the MINI MAILBOX TREAT HOLDER (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) that is super cute!!! Alright, here we go…
Cut out all of the pieces to this project
At this point I’m going to give you 2 different options on getting the main 2 pieces adhered together.
1. adhere both pieces and slide the center piece into the outer mailbox shell
and adhere the two pieces together
Or….
2. Adhere the center box together and then wrap the outer mailbox piece around it and adhere the two pieces together as you go
Now we can adhere the center layer into the box
Adhere the sweet little envelopes onto the center divider piece
Add your adhesive to one of the long strips and start adhering it from the bottom of the front side…
to the bottom of the back side.
Adhere both sides down and you’re done!
Now add some cute embellishments and some candy and you are ready to hand this over to your sweet someone.
That’s all from me! Hope you enjoy making this sweet project as much as I did! Now I am off to go make some more of the new files!

This is very pretty. I have purchased this and would like to make it. Could you please let me know what the sizing is of the file for my Scan N Cut? The dimensions aren’t on the sizing info page. Thank you!
Hi Lisa, It’s 11.5″ wide.
Thank you very much for the dimensions. Off to try to make it now!
when I cut this out, it just cuts out a whole square instead of the “MAIL” and the slot…how do I stop it from doing that? thanks.
Did you ungroup and separate the layers before cutting? If you want, send a photo of what cut an what is on your screen to help.loriwhitlock@gmail.com and we can figure out what is happening.
