Hi Friends!
My project today is a Treat Box I made to fit marshmallow peeps. It measures 3 x 4 x 1 1/4". I used Easter Friends stamp set, Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circle dies.
I started with a piece of So Saffron Cardstock
sized 9 1/4 x 5 1/2".
I scored the 9 1/4" side at:
4 and 5 1/4".
I scored the 5 1/2" side at:
1 1/4 and 4 1/4".
I turned back to the 9 1/4" side and scored to the 1st scoreline ONLY at:
2 and 7 1/4".
I scored both 9 1/4" sides in the same way.
I rounded the corners of the flaps and cut a hole in the middle of each side using the Detail Trio Punch.
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring, cutting, rounding the corners and cutting a hole in the middle of the flaps.
I added Highland Heather Cardstock and Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the box.
(2) 2 7/8 x 3 3/8" of Highland Heather Cardstock.
(2) 2 3/4 x 3 1/4" of Flowering Fields DSP.
I attached the DSP to the Highland Heather Cardstock and then to the box with Liquid Glue.
I put 2 Marshmallow Peeps in a cellophane bag inside the box. The box will also hold 3 bags of Fun Sized M&M's and many other treats.
I ran a 5" piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon through the holes in the front and back of the box. I tied Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon around the Metallic Mesh and tied a bow at the front.
I stamped the Bunny image, from Easter Friends stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock using Crumb Cake Ink.
I colored the upper part of the Bunny with Stampin' Blends.
Light Crumb Cake for the outer fur.
Light Flirty Flamingo and the Color Lifter for the Cheeks and Nose.
Light Pool Party for the shadow around the outside of the Bunny.
I cut the top of the Bunny out using a 1 7/8" smooth circle from the Layering Circle dies.
I cut a scalloped circle from Highland Heather Cardstock and attached the Image on top with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the "Easter" part of the Happy Easter sentiment, from Easter Friends stamp set, onto a scrap piece of So Saffron Cardstock. I trimmed down the top and bottom as close as possible and flagged the ends of the Sentiment strip.
I punched a small hole in the beginning of the strip.
I cut a 10" piece of White Baker's Twine and looped it through the Bunny Circles.
I added the sentiment strip on top of the Bunny and tied the entire piece around the bow.
For the final touch I added Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the box.
One on the end of the sentiment and 2 on the body of the box.
