LINDT CHOCOLATE UMBRELLA TREAT BOX with PLAYING IN THE RAIN - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Treat Box that holds a Lindt Chocolate Umbrella and some Hershey's Chocolate Eggs.  It measures  2 1/2  x  4 1/4  x  1 1/4".  I used Playing in the Rain stamp set, Playing in the Rain dies, Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon.



I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock sized
8  x  5 1/2".
I scored the  8" side at:
1/2,  1 3/4,  4 1/4  and  5 1/2".
I scored the  5 1/2" side at:
1 1/4".
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 and cutting.


I attached 2 pieces of Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2)  2 1/4  x  4".
I attached the DSP pieces to the front and back of the box with Liquid Glue.
I cut another pieces of a different DSP (with grass and flowers) sized:
2 1/4  x  1".
I fussy cut the top of the flowers only on the top of the DSP piece.
I added this piece to the bottom of the Raindrop DSP with Liquid Glue.


I stamped the Fox image, from Playing in the Rain stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut out the Fox using the Playing In the Rain dies.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Smokey Slate  -  Fox
Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo  -  Umbrella
Light and Dark Daffodil Delight  -  Hat and Coat
If some of the flowers on the bottom DSP are white I added Light Flirty Flamingo to them.



I attached the Fox to the front of the box with Dimensionals.
I punched a hole in the front and back top of the box with a 1/4" hole punch.
I filled my box with a little bit of paper shred, a few Hershey's Chocolate Eggs and a Lindt Chocolate Umbrella.
I ran Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon through the holes and tied a bow at the front.


For the final touch I added 3 Loose Daisy Embellishments to the front of the box.  I used my Silicone Mat, Take Your Pick Tool and Liquid Glue.
