All the layers need to line up to glue the veneer on it and i used 4 cocktail sticks for it just to make it easier! so @bill.m.davis is right the bottom and all the layers have 4x 2mm holes in it.

Thanks very much for this! I’m making it now, though I have to admit the design has me a little bit confused, in terms of how the pieces are supposed to go together. I’m just assuming I’ll make a top and bottom (ignoring one of the steps, since they need not to have the middle cut out) and enough middle pieces to stack up to the height of the veneer. (There seem to be extras)
Edit: Ah, I think I figured it out. I wasn’t considering the veneer on the top of the “box”. (Not the box top)

I started the box with the diamond holes in the lid, but I didn’t like it much.
So I decided to use the veneer on it and make a plain box. The sides of the veneer are a little bit bigger so you need to sand it down a bit so it looks nice and fit well together. The new top is twice the veneer thinness bigger. The bottom and the top the inner heart are just score lines.
Sorry for the confusion I am not really into making catalog files and projects. Just post the files as I made them.

Thanks! I found a way to put the pieces together that worked. 
The alignment holes were very helpful. Good point about the top being larger – I’ve never done anything with veneer before, so I wouldn’t have realized that.
I put the cut-out inside of the veneer heart on the underside of the top so that the lid sits in place. (I’d include some photos but the box is currently filled with chocolate and covered in wrapping paper)
