DIY Valentine’s Day Surprise Box

I went to the mall yesterday and let me tell you – don’t go. Stay away. Far far away. It’s a swarm of ladies hunting for the perfect pink dress and guys trying to find a last minute gift for their Valentines. Take it from me friends, don’t go. Stay home. DIY a gift for your Valentine. I’ll show you how and this projects will use up lots of supplies that you already have in your stash.

Today’s project is perfect for your Galentines – your girlfriends who you love like sister. Create a little gift box that opens into a scrapbook page of sorts. It’s a fun way to give a gift with a personalized touch. Let me show you how it’s done!

Place the patterned paper AND solid paper onto the score board and score at 4″ and 8″ along both edges of the paper, as shown with the blue lines. You should end up with a grid.

With the top of the box complete, turn your attention to the solid colored cardstock and get ready to decorate!

I opted for a ton of paper embellishments and stickers along with photos. When you’re done decorating, you can put a gift inside the box…a candle, some candy, makeup – something you know your Galentine will like.
