Hi Friends!
My project today is a gift box that holds an Easter Egg. I designed it to fit a chalk egg, bubble egg or plastic egg that is filled with treats. I used the Hey Chick Bundle, Hey Birthday Chick Bundle, Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper, Layering Circles dies, Fine Art Ribbon and Stampin' Blends.
First I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock for the inside egg holder sized
4 1/4 x 4 1/4".
I scored all four sides at 1".
I cut a hole in the middle square with the Layering Circle dies to make a place to hold the bottom of the egg.
Next I scored a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock sized
5 3/8 x 5 3/8".
I scored all 4 sides at 1 1/2".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial here!
I attached pieces of the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (blue) to the sides of the outside of the Balmy Blue box.
(4) 2 1/4 x 1 1/4"
and
I cut a piece of the DSP (green)
(1) 1/2 x 10".
I attached the blue pieces first with Liquid Glue, then wrapped the green around the bottom of the box and glued it in place.
I cut 4 fence pieces out of Crumb Cake Cardstock using the Birthday Chick dies.
I glued them to all four sides on top of the DSP pieces.
I stamped the images from Hey Chick and Birthday Chick stamp sets with Tuxedo Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock.
I cut them out with the corresponding dies.
I also cut the bag of seed out of Crumb Cake Cardstock and the sign from So Saffron Cardstock.
I colored the images with Stampin' Blends:
Light and Dark So Saffron for the chick bodies
Light Smokey Slate for the egg shells
Dark Pumpkin Pie for the Beaks and feet
Dark Flirty Flamingo and Dark Balmy Blue for the hair and feathers
Dark Crumb Cake for the seed bag and sponging around the sign.
I stamped the sentiment from Hey Chick Stamp Set onto the sign with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I attached the large chick on the front with Dimensionals.
The party hat on one side,
the seed bag and chick in egg on the other side and
the sign on the back.
I stamped another sentiment from Hey Chick stamp set onto Granny Apple Green Cardstock and cut it with a die from the Hydrangea dies.
I placed the entire box into a 6 x 7 1/4" cello bag.
I tied it closed at the top with a bow using the Fine Art Ribbon.
I taped the sides that stuck out on the bottom of the bag down with Cellophane Tape underneath the box.
I punched a hole in the sentiment and tied it under the bow with twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Supplies:
6 x 8 Cellophane bag (smaller if gusseted)
Egg Chalk - Target Dollar Spot
Egg Bubbles - Dollar Tree
