Hi there,
The Pretty Pink Posh January 2026 release will be available on January 5th, and I'm back today to showcase the amazingly cute Box Of Chocolates die set. I made it kind of interactive with a see-through lid that you can open, but that's because I always have to go a little bit extra on my cards, I can't help it, and it was super easy to put together.
I started off by cutting a 5,5" x 4,25" panel out of aqua cardstock and even though this panel would mostly be covered by another one, I still wanted it to be more interesting, so I used the Layered Heart Sprinkles stencils to add a fun pattern to my card base panel. I used candied apple distress ink for the hearts and salvaged patina distress ink for the sprinkles. I mixed a couple of liquid stardust droplets with water and added sparkling splatters all over my panel, I did the same with copic opaque white ink, and when it was dry, I attached my panel to a matching card base using liquid glue.
Next I cut a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of turquoise cardstock, and just like the first panel, even though this pinking panel would be hidden behind the Box Of Chocolates, I decided to create a heart pattern using the Half Hearts stencils along with peacock feathers distress ink., and then added white splatters all over my panel. I attached this panel to the card base using 1mm foam squares, and then moved on to the Box Of Chocolates.
I created the inside part of the box first by cutting a pink panel using a die from the set, added details to this panel using the Argyle Pierced Plate die, and then splatters. Next I cut all my Box Of Chocolates pieces: the wrapping papers out of pearlescent vellum, the chocolates and icing details out of vanilla cardstock and two different brown cardstock, and cut the word "Xoxo" out of the same brown cardstock. I stuck each chocolate on a wrapping paper using 1mm foam squares, attached the icing details using liquid glue, glued the dark brown letters to the light brown letters and shifted them to get a border on each letter, I attached all those pieces to the pink panel using 1mm foam squares again, and then applied glossy accents to the icing details and dark brown letters. Finally I glued a piece of ribbon at the back of my pink panel, right in the middle of the bottom edge, and then moved on to the lid of the box.
I used both of the Box Of Chocolates rectangle dies to cut a frame out of red cardstock, and used the smaller one to cut a whole panel out of acetate. I wanted this acetate panel to be decorated, so I used the Layered Heart Lattice stencil A along with white stazon ink to add a lovely white heart pattern to my see-through lid. Stazon ink is an ink that dries super fast so it doesn't smear on acetate or vellum. Next I attached my red frame to the acetate panel using liquid glue.
I cut a slim piece of vellum measuring about 3,75" x 3/4" and stuck one of the long edges of that vellum piece at the back of the red frame, right in the middle of the top edge, using liquid glue. At the back of my red frame, I attached foam strips all around the edges, cut another red frame, and stuck that frame to the foam strips. The reason I added foam strips in the construction of the lid is simply because I attached the chocolates on the pink panel with 1mm foam squares, so I needed dimension so that the lid would close nicely without squishing the chocolates. I glued a piece of ribbon at the back of the lid, right in the middle of the bottom edge, using liquid glue, and finished the lid by adding another red frame to hide the end of the ribbon.
Next I connected the lid to the pink panel by attaching the other long edge of the vellum piece at the back of the pink panel, right in the center of the top edge, using liquid glue. I closed my Box Of Chocolates by tying a bow, and attached the box to the card using 1mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "You're the sweetest" from Valentine Banner Greetings on aqua cardstock, cut it into a scalloped wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 2 die, and finally stuck that banner to the lid by adding a mini dot of liquid glue on two of the white stazon ink hearts.
