This is a DELICIOUS post! LOL! Read to the end for my recipe for you all to try.
It’s ALMOST Valentine’s day, and I am working (last minute of course), on some sweet treat’s for the kid’s teachers!
I saw this image from Lizzie Anne Design’s set Petite Phrases, and also used Celebration Frames (on right), and thought it would be PERFECT for the job!
I LOVE Dove Chocolate’s, and thought that packaging up some would be so SWEET! Since I LOVE making boxes, I had fun doing these.
So I grabbed my trusty Scor-Pal, and I made this candy box holder just PERFECT for 12 Dove Chocolates 😀
WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE UP MY SLEEVE FOR EASTER!!!! WOW!
Anyway-
I made 2 boxes here-one with Acetate, and the other with Vellum cardstock. I wanted to show the versatility in the design. I think these look so scrumptious, and make giving such a SIMPLE and in expensive gift (works out to be $1 each!!! There are 3 servings per bag :D) look so special.
You will need to cut your cardstock
5 1/2 X 8
Score along the 5 inch side at 1-4-and 5
Score along the 8 inch side at 1- 3 1/2- 4 1/2- then 7
See diagram for where to cut!
Finished size- 3 inches high- 2 1/2 across, 1 inch wide
NOTE: Ribbon around box keeps lid flap closed nicely
These are DONE in 5 minutes EASY! After you make one of course.
So I hope you get to test one out. I’d LOVE to see it.
Thanks for all the kind and caring messages/emails/ and even phone calls! I don’t think you are a stalker-I feel so loved! 😀
I really appreciate the fabulous recipe’s you all shared! I am now signed up for Kraft Foods email’s too.
I honestly have NOT tried any yet-we need to go to the food store :C, but we do have a list of items to try them out.
Now I am going to share my FAVORITE recipe-quick, easy and sure to please!
Olive Garden Style Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce
Sauce-
8 ounces Cream cheese — cut in bits
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese — grated
1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1/2 cup Milk
Black Pepper, and oregano to taste
8 ounces Fettuccine; cook — drain | In large saucepan combine cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and
milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Toss pasta lightly with
sauce, coating well. Leftovers freeze well.
PS you can double everything to get MORE sauce (you don’t have to double the cream cheese though)
Make it with Chicken and Broccoli-
While the noodles Boil-
I just throw in some frozen breaded chicken tenders in the oven-Like 450 degrees for 20-25 min
I also throw frozen broccoli in the microwave while it all cooks-
Now you have Chicken & Broccoli Fettuccine!
I aslo ALWAYS throw a garlic bread in the oven with the last 10 minutes that the tenders cook!
YUMMY!!!
Now tomorrow Not only is it the PTI release (YEAH!!!!) I will share a COOL tip-in regards to a Papertrey Product (yes I got Nichole’s permission first :D), and my V-day card for Jason, as well as COOL activity for those of you with children, that will allow YOU more TIME to stamp!!! It will also help them explore their own creative side without driving mommy INSANE.
So come back then!
Till tomorrow.

Love your chocolate boxes, they are great
Love the boxes so cute can’t wait till papertrey release can’t stay up have. to go to work, but will go online when i get to work. You take it easy do’t over do it. susan
Ok, another great project!!!!!! I love your boxes! AND the “need chocolate?” saying…perfect!!!!!! Can you tell me where you would find acetate? Is it the thin kind sold in bulk at office supply stores? Or how about vellum cardstock? I’m not too familiar with these materials yet. Thanks for the great inspiration! Your creativity always amazes me.
Yummy! I need chocolate…. I really like how the vellum one looks. Might have to try these out. But if I buy a Scor-pal, that’s less I have to spend in May. Maybe I’ll score the old fashioned way!
Can’t wait to see more PTI reveal projects!
I get my acetate at Stampes or Walmart.
Vellum cardstock is from Stampin Up! But I am sure most craft stores sells it 😀
These are great! I have always been “afraid” of making boxes. But then I made one recently and it was not that bad. But I do think I need to get a “real” scoring tool, like the score pal. 🙂 Don’t yell out me but yes I don’t have one YET! Def been thinking of ordering soon! Although I think I head she is pretty backed up. Do you know if anyone carries them? Or does she not sell “wholesale” yet?
These are too cute! Thank you so much for sharing the technique with us. I just got my scor-pal, so now I have a great project to give it a try with.
That recipe sounds delish. We love Fettuccine Alfredo in this house. I even have Olive Garden Salad Dressing in the fridge to go with it. MMMMMMMM Oh your valentine boxes are delish too 🙂 -Molly B
(See… twins! I ♥ Dove Milk Chocolates. They are probably the only candy I really hide from everyone.)
Thank you so much for posting your templates and sharing all your talent with us! Your boxes are just darling! I can’t wait to make a few myself… but first, I have to feel better.
I copied your recipe down and looking to make it this weekend. Gotta run. I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?
Hugs,

Those boxes are totally adorable! Oh, and that recipe, TO DIE FOR! I make it all the time, but I add tons of pepper to it. It’s the simplest alfredo recipe!!! Thanks for sharing all of your wonderfulness on your blog, you are truly inspiring!!!
Wow – two for one! Thanks for sharing the box info and the recipe.
Yummmmmm! This looks so good, I think it has my name on it! I luv chocolate!!!! thanks for sharing Lauren, I just printed it out to make on a later date.

I can’t wait to see what your PTI tip is! And your boxes are adorable!
And this Mommy is very interested in staying sane……do share!
Yummy choc boxes! Will have to try your recipe, sounds delicious!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Kim!
Love the boxes!
I have been making my alfredo sauce using that recipe for years and my family loves it!
Adorable boxes, Lauren – they look so polished and still fun at the same time. I really have to get a scor-pal, I think. It really looks like such useful and fun tool to have. And maybe my projects will even come out half as good as the ones you create. 😛 Anyway hope that you have a great Valentine’s Day with your family. And I’m glad that everything worked out for you at the dr’s. You know, I had the same thing happen to me when I was younger in hs. It was scary but I also get the putting off b/c you don’t want to know (b/c I did the same thing). I try to follow the same motto of not putting things off like that now. When it comes to the kids, I don’t hesitate for a second, but with myself…
Cant wait to try these.. The box and the recipe… Thanks for sharing Lauren and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!
Oh my this has to be my favorite post EVER!!!! Not only is this project awesome and you inculded the tutorial with photos! I also LOVE Dove chocolates. 🙂 But I only order Olive Garden’s Fettuccine Alfredo every time we go. LOL I am so going to give this recipe a try this weekend. Thank you soooo much for sharing it! Now I just need to get a Scor-Pal so I can try out all these cool patterns you keep sharing.
Okay, a tip to keep the kids busy and get their creative juices flowing and NOT make mommy insane?? Now I am impressed! I can’t wait for this!! Your boxes are great (and tutorials too!) and I love Dove chocolate too…wish I was eating it right now! I’m dieting so I’m trying to stay away from it…oh and now I am drooling over the fettucine alfredo recipe-thanks;p
Looking forward to the next post!
These are adorable little gifts, Lauren. Thanks so much for sharing the instructions! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Aloha Lauren, as always, your boxes are so beautiful. Thank you very much for always sharing your creations. Just wondering, what adhesive do you use for the acetate box?Thank you.
so adorable! Also can’t wait to try that fettuccine recipe! Yummy!
The boxes are just too cute! I may have to go ‘whip one up’ when I get home for Shannon’s Hershey’s hearts… 🙂 I like your post office game…though Shannon would like me to play WITH her, so it may not work…perhaps once Alexandra gets a little older…
I usually stamp after the kids go to bed…so I have no advice on what to do to find time… sorry I can’t help…oh – and YUM-O recipe…I’ll have to give it a try one night…thanks for sharing!
Dove chocolates are my favs..in fact I have a candy cover cigar box filled right here at my desk!!!
These boxes are just so adorable. I so enjoy your blog and thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas. 🙂
So stinkin’ cute. Thanks for sharing.
TFS! The boxes are so cute, the recipe sounds delish!

Another great tutorial Lauren! love this treat box – especially seeing it in clear and vellum – nice options!
Lauren, thank you for such great ideas, these are too cute…I couldn’t resist replying because I too love Dove chocolate…in fact I became a Chocolatier with Dove Chocolate at Home last year!
Not only do I teach people how to make great desserts & chocolates at tasting parties…it’s like a tupperware party, only with Dove Chocolate! Forgive me for the advertisement but I couldn’t resist.

It is a product which came in the renaissance period in Italy
where are was growing with fast pace. He was constantly subjected to
a barrage of verbal abuse and insults, and says that several times
crowd members seemed to be trying to provoke him into throwing a punch.
I wager most of the packed house at HP Pavilion had been watching the band for a good part
of that.
