Dannie's Designs: April 2015

Ferrero Rocher Box

I can't believe that today is the last day of April. That means 2015 is already a quarter of the way over. Time is flying by way too fast! I'm struggling with the fact that the school year is almost over and my kids have less than six weeks left in school. Every year I tell myself that I'm going to make gifts for their teachers for the last day of school and every year I run out of time because I procrastinate. Not this year! I'm ahead of the game.

I love chocolate and I think most people do too. So I decided I wanted to give the teachers some chocolate as a thank you gift (along with a card and a gift card). Of course I needed some cute packaging to put the chocolate in, so I designed this box.

Inside it holds four Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Isn't that cute? I know you will be asking for directions, so I created a video tutorial so you can see how I made it.

Here's a picture of the version that I made in the tutorial along with all of the measurements.

Blackberry Bliss card stock--9 1/4" x 5 1/4"

9 1/4" side across the top--score at 1 1/4", 4", 5 1/4", 8"
5 1/4" side across the top--score at 1 1/4", 4"

Rose Red card stock

(4) 2 5/8" x 1 1/8"

Painted Blooms DSP
