LITTLE BIRDS SALT WATER TAFFY TREAT BOX using CUTEST CREW - Stampin' Up!


Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!
My project today is a treat box for some Salt Water Taffy.  The box measures  3  x  3 3/4  x  1 1/4".  I used the Cutest Crew stamp set & dies Bundle, Nested Essentials dies, Hobby Haven, Mixed Up Patterns and Floral Delight Designer Series Papers.

You can watch My Video Tutorial Here!


I started with a piece of Old Olive Cardstock sized:
9  x  8"
I scored the  9" side at:
1 1/4,  4 1/4,  5 1/2  and  8 1/2"
I scored the  8" side at:
1 1/4,  5  and  6 1/4"
To cut and put the box together you can watch My Video Tutorial Here.


I wrapped 1 piece of Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (retired) to the box.
(1)  10  x  3 1/2"
I wrapped it around the short side creasing the sides as I went, straightened them with my Bone Folder and attached it to the box, opening in the back, with Liquid Glue.


I stamped the Birds onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the image out with the dies and colored it with
Stampin' Blends.
Light & Dark Lemon Lolly  -  Birds
Dark Daffodil Delight  -  Beaks
Light Old Olive  -  Grass


I used a Tag and a Scallop strip from the cut outs sheet of Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment onto the right side of the tag with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut a  2 3/8  x  3"  rectangle from Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper using the Nested Essential dies.


I attached the right side of the Label onto the Rectangle with Liquid Glue and cut of the excess.
I attached the Scallop above the sentiment with Liquid Glue and cut the excess off also.
I attached the Birds above the Scallop Strip with Dimensionals.


I added a 3/8" Adhesive Velcro Dot pair to the back flap for the closure.
I ran Old Olive Specialty RickRack around the short side of the box and tied a bow on the left side.
I attached the Decorated Rectangle to the front of the box with Dimensionals.
For the final touch I added 3 Frosted Iridescent Dots.
