My Sweet as Honey Treat Box - with Bit-O-Honey candy

When I was at a recent Apple Orchard, I found some Bit-O-Honey candy which I loved as a child, so I bought a bag and knew I could make something with the Bee Mine Valentine stamp set. So, this is a box that Kelli McConkey created. This little treat box holds about 5 or 6 candies. The finished size is about 2" x 3". but here are the instructions. with a pattern for the box.

Stamp Set: Bee My Valentine

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Sweet Sorbet

Other: Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Bee Builder Punch, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

1. The base of the box is Daffodil Delight cardstock cut at 5” x 6” and scored at 2”, 2-3/4”, 4-3/4”, 5-1/2”. Turn and score at ½”, 1-1/4”, and 4-1/4.

2. Burnish score lines with Bone Folder. Cut up to score lines and miter the tabs with Paper Snips. Trim off excess as shown on pattern below:
