Nuggets of Love: Valentine Nuggets Heart Box Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s Valentine Nuggets Heart Box (SVG, Silhouette).  This adorable little box holds three Hershey’s Nuggets and is perfect for spreading some love this Valentine’s Day.

I used my Cricut Maker to cut the pieces for the Valentine Nuggets Heart Box.  For this step, I had to ungroup all of the pieces and attach the score marks to the pieces that would be used to make the box.  There are two pieces that make up the outer box and three for the individual nugget holders.  Once I cut out all of the pieces, I folded along the score lines and added adhesive tape to the tabs.

Next, I built the box, lid, and nugget holders using the adhesive tape to connect the tab with the other side of the paper strip to form a “box”.  The bottom flaps of the box and lid do not connect to anything at this point.

Attach the smaller hearts to the larger scalloped hearts.  These will form the base for you box and lid.  Attach the lid (shorter piece) to the back of one of the hearts.  Small notches on the scalloped heart will help you to line up your lid in the appropriate place.  Next, insert the box into the lid with the tabs/flaps on the outside. Then attach the other scalloped heart to the box using the adhesive on the tabs/flaps.  Use can use the lid’s heart to help you align the top and bottom pieces.  (Note:  You want to attach the bottom tabs/flaps of the box to the side of the heart where you can see both hearts.)

Finally, you need to insert the nugget holders into the box.  You can use adhesive to connect all three nugget holders, but I just placed them inside the box without any adhesive.

You can add stickers or other embellishments to the top of the box to give it a little more flair. Otherwise, it is ready to fill up with yummy chocolate nuggets.  In addition the the Valentine Nuggets Heart Box, Lori has a couple of other Valentine’s Day heart boxes available that hold Hershey’s Kisses.   Here are the links to all of the Valentine’s Heart Boxes.

Valentine Mini Mailbox Treat Holder Tutorial

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!
