Many of my Stampin’ Up! team members (not only those with blogs) share their gorgeous projects in our team’s Facebook community – there’s such amazing and inspiring creativity in this group! I’m always excited when my team’s blog hop rolls around, though, because I get to share some of their amazing work with you. I’m just as excited to see their projects as you are, and I am proud to share them with you.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature hearts, so prepare yourself for lots and lots of love. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Lots of Heart & Love You Always Treat Box
The project I am sharing with you today is filled to the brim with hearts – and who wouldn’t love to receive a treat box of chocolates with an adorable design? Here’s a look at the project I have created for today’s heart-themed blog hop:
- Love You Always Treat Box. In case you missed the Love You Always Treat Boxes, these sweet boxes are found on page 11 of Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, part of the Love You Always Suite. Here’s a look at these treat boxes:
For just $9, you get 10 boxes that measure 4-1/16″ x 2-11/16″ x 1/12″ (perfectly sized for sweet treats or small trinkets). I filled my box with chocolates from Yetter’s Candies, my favorite chocolate shop in Pennsylvania. ♥ How perfect are these chocolate in my treat box?
- Lots of Heart. The top of my treat box designed with a variety of elements from the Lots of Heart Bundle, which includes the Lots of Heart stamp set and coordinating Many Hearts Dies. I absolutely love this bundle (you still have time to order it and have it delivered before Valentine’s Day). Here’s a look at this Lots of Heart Bundle:
I’m going to walk you through each of the Lots of Heart elements on this box top, but FIRST I have a fun-find to share. The top of my box is covered with a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock, perfectly cropped with a Stitched Rectangle Die. That makes it SO EASY to decorate the 10, 20 or 50 Love You Always Treat Boxes you are decorating this year. Here’s a closer look:
I stamped the dotted heart from the Lots of Heart stamp set all over the Poppy Parade background. I added a Pear Pizzazz floral heart cut from the Many Hearts Dies. The next layer is a combination of two hearts – one Blushing Bride heart cropped with a heart (shown in the bottom, left of the product image) and the dotted heart (shown inside a square along the right side of the product image). I added a Poppy Parade heart below that to allow Poppy Parade to pop through and to mimic the Poppy Parade dots in the background.
- Color Combination. There are a lot of elements on this project that make it special, but the color combination is quite a standout. I love the mix of soft green and soft pink with such a bold, bright shade of red. If you like this mix of Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
I hope you love this project as much as I loved sharing it with you! Here’s a quick list of the products I used on today’s treat box:

Well you out did yourself today Brian. The little treat box is just gorgeous and one more of the things I overlooked in the catalog. Dang! To say I think it’s gorgeous is an understatement.
Thanks so much, Grace! You always say the nicest thing! These boxes are pretty wonderful – and sturdy and easy to decorate! So glad you like it. ♥
Super box. Yetters? Have you tried Pollak Chocolates?
Thanks, Ann! I only know of one chocolate shop in Pennsylvania (other than Hershey) – and it’s owned by a friend and customer. 🙂
This is the sweetest! Love the layers of die cuts, and especially love when dies work with new products! I wonder if a Nanaimo bar would fit in there. *wink*
I know, for a fact, that I could cram a Nanaimo bar into that box. 🙂 If you want to ship me a couple of crates, I am happy to try. ♥
So cute! I love the color combo, you are sooo good at that!
Thanks so much, Renae! It was certainly fun to make.
