Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes will be inspired by popular songs – the first is “I Think I Love You.” Our Blog Hop today is jam-packed with projects that are perfect for Valentine’s Day or that showcase love. How sweet is that?! We are excited to share our love-themed 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.
Today’s project is a cute little self-closing box for Valentine’s Day!
Here’s a view from the top:
And here’s a view of the embellished sentiment:
And here’s the 360° view:
Isn’t that super cute! I first saw this little box from fellow German demonstrator Petra Rosenbaum (Stempel Dich bunt) and just had to convert the measurements and make one! My version doesn’t quite fit a Ferrero Rocher because of the way the top folds into the box, but it will fit a Lindor Truffle or 3 Mini Ghirardelli Squares! Yum!
Here’s my video tutorial:
And here’s the template I created:
MEASUREMENTS:
- Painted with Love Specialty DSP – 3-3/4″ x 6-1/2″
- Score along the 6-1/2″ (long) side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″ and 6″
- Make tick marks at 3/4″, 2-1/4″, 3-3/4″ and 5-1/4″
- Score along the 3-3/4″ (short) side at 1-1/2″ and 3″
- Score along the 6-1/2″ (long) side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″ and 6″

What a darling idea . . . love the self-closing feature!
Three of us used this piece of DSP for the hop today. Proof that it is fabulously awesome! Love your 3D creations!

This is absolutely amazing, Julie! I love your videos and projects – so clear and so concise. <3 So glad you could hop with us today!
Beautifully done, Julie. Thanks for “translating”.
A million thank yous!!! I saw this on Petra’s blog and wanted so badly to make one. The German and metric threw me for quite a loop. You have saved me endless frustrating hours!
