Card and Ferrero Rocher Treat Box DIY Template Set

Hello crafty friends,
Melinda here with you and today I am sharing a pretty card and box set I created.The beautiful flowers and foliage are from CottageCutz.com. Here is a look at my set.
The set features a top folding A4 sized card and a matching box. The box will fit 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates and measures 3" square by 1.5" high.


Here's a look at the finished box.


Here's a template of the measurements, Your base piece of paper is 9.75 x 6.
You can follow the template above to make your score lines. You will cut away the parts indicated by the green squares. You will also cut up to the green lines.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to score at .75", 1.5", 4.5" and 5.25" along the 6" side. See the measurements in white boxes. 


Here is what your box base should look like once you have scored and trimmed it. You see that I snipped a little angle piece off the "tabs". This is so assembly will be easier.


After cutting out my template, I created the patterned paper and printed it out. I then cut the pieces into mats. I then put adhesive on all the tabs and assembled the box. 


This is a photo of what the box looks like when assembled and closed. The lid simply flaps over the base piece.


Here is what the box looks like opened. Super simple but a perfect fit for the 4 pieces of candy. There is even enough room if you wanted to put a little sentiment on the inside of the lid flap.


Here is a closer look at my box. I added a scallop stitched square die cut from the set. I then created and printed out my diagonal plaid paper and cut it out for a mat. I then cut out several of the flower 3 dies in white cardstock along with the leafy branch 2 in white cardstock. I used my markers to color them in. I cut out an oval from the wood grain patterned paper I made and a smaller one from white cardstock. I cut one the same size as the white one from the patterned paper. I trimmed off the stitches to make it a mat. I then die cut the Love You Mom Die from White cardstock and then colored that in as well. I added three little flat back pearls for an extra touch. I also used my Nuvo Drops Clear for the centers of all my flowers.


Following are a few more photos of the finished card. It is a top folding A2 sized card base. To that I added a mat of some plaid paper I created. I also created the wood paper. I created a border of that and added some pretty organza yellow ribbon to it. For the sentiment, I used a scallop stitched rectangle die cut in white cardstock. I then created a mat from the same diagonal plaid paper I created and printed out. Then I glued the sentiment onto that. I used foam tape to give it all a lot of lift and dimension.






Here is one last look at my set. I think it turned out super cute and am excited to give it away.










Well that about covers it for today. Be sure to head over to CottageCutz.com to pick up these wonderful dies while they are available!
