 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I have done another Valentine's gift so I know I've done my Valentine's series but I had this idea and I thought I'm going to throw in another one so this is this lovely little packet I guess and basically you open up the Velcro door and then it reveals these two Hershey chocolate bars and the dark chocolate my husband loves dark chocolate so it's just another little gift for him really really nice design I love this and it just still shut there I've done this very shabby chic so I've used craft card I've distressed all the corners and the edges I've distressed the paper I use so I've rubbed the brown ink all over it and you can see on all the corners there and how it looks on the side and it's just a really lovely little gift these would look great as little favours well I say little it's actually quite a good size this one is five and a half by two and a half so it's a good size so then opens up and it reveals two little pockets here so the Hershey chocolate bars these measure if you push in the kind of wings on each side they're five by just under two and a half now the width of the actual case that I've got them in is a little bit thicker so it's three eighths of an inch this should fit lots of chocolate bars so dairy milk chocolate bars and I can't sit here and think of them all now but you know what I mean it should fit a lot in there so I'm hoping that this will be kind of open for many people to use other branded chocolate bars from other parts of the world so again and then top bottom one just folds up and then that just sealed shut so to make this one I'm gonna be using black and red this time so I've got these Oreo ones which I used when I made the acetate explosion boxes and I ate them all they're amazing I love these ones okay so enough of the food talk you need a sheet of seven and one-eighth of an inch by eight and a quarter so it's a default width size of a four paper and so those you would date in half all you have to do is just take it down to eight and a quarter and then shrink it all down like I said to seven and one eighth of an inch then you need two little pieces here which will form our little pockets these are two by five and a half two of those and then you need two pieces of this side size because I've already stuck one down here and this is one and one eighth of an inch by five and a quarter and then another piece which will be this main bit here on the front so this is five and a quarter by two and one eighth of an inch this piece is for here that's why I've already corner punched it that's one inch by five and a quarter and then something to make your kind of seal I guess you know your decoration on the front so I've just die cut a heart there and I'm going to do exactly the same but just in different colors and this is the physics tribal words dies which I've used quite a lot and that's going to stick there I've cut them three times layered them on top of each other like I always do just gives you a nice little embellishment there okay so first of all grab your piece of eight and a quarter and you want to score along the sorry eight and a quarter by seven and one eighth score along the eight and a quarter inch side first at one inch one and three eighths of an inch six and seven eighths of an inch and seven and a quarter okay then rotate it onto the seven and one eighth of an inch side and you want to score at two and a quarter two and five eighths of an inch three inches five and a quarter and six okay that's all the scoring done there and then with these two pieces of the black you want to score at a quarter of an inch and one at no sorry quarter of an inch and five eighths of an inch and that's along the two inch side do that on both pieces I've already done this one so again along the two inch side you're going to score a quarter of an inch and five eighths of an inch okay so get rid of the scoreboard and we can do some burnishing so I'm just going to do these ones first so just pinch these just along those two long score lines like so okay and then with this one here so do those first that's all that done then we need to cut some bits and pieces out so you will have show you here you'll have these two large rectangles and then the smaller one at the top okay and then you'll have this kind of little rectangle here with the two kind of smaller rectangles together just make sure you got it the right way out there you can see it so you got this big rectangle here and then this other big rectangle you want that facing you you want this piece here with the smaller one away from you okay so first of all what we're going to do is you've got the two edged rectangles here this one and this one and then you've got two of those smaller ones above that's where we want to cut in above that so those I'm going to cut right across let me just do this and then I can show you so can you see there so I've cut in so the first score line as you come up this side cut right across past that first one into that second one there and then miss that one and then you're cutting along that top one again to the same place and then I'm just going to fold those two sides down and just take that whole piece out okay so that's what I've taken out so you can see the two score lines in this piece here it's that whole piece so again if I come along this side here you see we're removing this whole piece here so again I just cut down so and just remove that whole piece okay that's what you want okay then go up to the next piece and again you want to keep that whole rectangle here we're keeping them all there and then we're going to cut in again the score line directly above right the way across I do this side as well at the same time okay so just cut right the way in okay and then I'm going to remove that whole piece so again let me just do this one as well and you can see what we've got just remove all those pieces so you should have I bring it down here now you've got the two biggest side rectangles and then those thinner kind of side pieces there your big rectangle then two smaller long rectangles another big rectangle and then that one and then the top okay right then what you want to do is cut from the bottom far right hand corner here of the very outer part I'm going to cut up to this top piece here okay so just cut from the bottom right up to here not across to here it's just to the top of the actual rectangle itself you need to keep that tab intact so if I repeat again on this one here okay so that's that piece so I'm cutting from the corner so so again I go across to this side here just to show you see there bottom left corner so what you should have now is that shape then what you want to do is flip it over this is the inside and with these two tabs that we've done here the bottom one you want to apply some glue and then you've got that big rectangle the bottom of the rectangle that score line is where you want to stick that piece in so let me just put it in and then you can see this is basically the pocket so just stuck it inside so it is lined up with the bottom score line you don't want to stick it on these two here they still have to be visible okay so basically you stuck it within the rectangle okay so again the bottom one grab your other one run your glue along that tab and then line it up with the very bottom of that piece of card the tab stuck inside the rectangle making sure it's not going over there and fold the whole thing over on itself just to make sure you've got a nice straight line because that's obviously the bottom of your box as well what you've basically stuck in there okay so there you will have two little pockets okay so what we're going to do now is these bits are going to come in like so and this is going to stick on top of them now if you wanted to there's no reason why they can't go on the outside so if you do like that effect just stick them stick a bit of glue there and stick them on the outside just make sure that that bottom piece is nice and flash straight with the base of the box there I would want I want mine inside so that's why I'm going to stick with what I've done there so you can either put glue put a pencil mark to where that this piece here comes to the top and then you can just glue below that I'm just going to stick my finger there and then just splodge some glue like so should better do it on this side as well at the same time I mean it's only holding a little bit of chocolate so you don't need to go too crazy with that kind of thing with the glues and stuff so again just pop your finger underneath just so you can see something to push down on and again that one just make sure that you get a lovely right angle and all your corners and then you can grab a ruler stick the ruler in and kind of push it towards you to push the ruler up just again so you can just to get a bit of other platform to be able to push down on okay and now you've got a little pocket okay so again just repeat the same with that top piece okay then you can start decorating it so I've already done that one there so that's with those two pieces that are the same so just stick that other one down okay just give yourself a nice even border always cut them so it should give you a nice little 1 1 8th of an inch border like so then that piece the bottom one is obviously going to fold up on top like so and then that piece will go here because that's the front of your box I think I needed to bring that one in a little bit more which I will doctor in a minute again just stick that one down there okay so that's that all stuck and then I've got this end piece here again I'm just gonna round off the corners there I forgot to do them before just so it matches the card this piece here that I already done still haven't replaced this it's not quite it seems to do one and then it doesn't do the next one okay so this is going to go on the front to the outer side like so and again should give you a nice border although that looks a little bit too long so I'm just gonna trim a little bit off that's better just do those corners again so again just pop some glue on that so now you start the two pieces stuck there fold that up then stick that down she want to make sure it faces the right way up and then that piece as it comes down over the top we'll have that pattern on it okay so I've got some velcro dots here you could use magnets if you want and these are also black so they match so I'm going to bring it all actually put the chocolate in first because that will obviously give it some strength and keep it all in its shape okay fold that one up yeah it makes it much much easier to actually work with like so grab to that make sure it's all in nicely so line it up in the center of the lid and then bring that over and then you can push down on the chocolate make sure that's all stuck down and there you have your little closure then all I need to do is decorate it so I'm going to stick my love through the middle there so I just need to put a little bit of glue the actual word so and then I'm just going to put some glue on the top half of the heart because it's going to be hanging over that lid so again make sure it's in the middle possibly oh no I did put exactly the right amount on I thought I might have had some glue coming over there just pinch that just so it's nice and secure there you have it so there you go just focuses in a bit there we go isn't that cute really lovely so now that will open up and it folds down show our chocolate bars so I love those lovely little chocolate pockets so I hope you enjoyed this extra little Valentine's tutorial from me today and please hit the like button if you did and subscribe to my channel to
