FRIENDLY GNOMES TREAT BOX with VERY BEST TRIO PUNCH - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Treat Box that measures  5  x  2 3/4  x  1 1/4".  I used the Friendly Gnomes stamp set, Very Best Trio Punch, Stylish Shapes dies, Layering Circle dies and Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.



I started with a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock sized
8 1/2  x  6 1/2".
I scored the 8 1/2" side at:
1 1/4,  4,  5 1/4  and  8".
I scored the  6 1/2" side at:
1 1/4,  5  and  5 3/4".
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, cutting and punching the corners of the top flaps with the Very Best Trio Punch.


I attached 4 pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2)  2 1/2  x  3 1/2"  front and back
(2)  1  x  3 1/2"  sides
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.


I cut a  2 1/4"  scalloped circle from Thick Basic White Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.
I also cut a  2 1/8" stitched circle from Basic White Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes dies.
I stamped the Mushroom, from Friendly Gnomes stamp set, onto the stitched circle with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I stamped the Squirrel onto another piece of Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink.
I fussy cut the Squirrel out by hand.


I colored the images with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Smokey Slate  -  Squirrel and Walkway Stones
Light and Dark Daffodil Delight  -  Spots, Bottom and underneath of Mushroom
Light Polished Pink  -  Top of Mushroom, Window Sil, Door Knob and Door Frame
Light Fresh Freesia  -  Door and Flowers
Light Old Olive  -  Grass
Light Balmy Blue  -  Sky and Window Panes


I wound Balmy Blue Double Stitched Ribbon around the bottom of the box and tied a knot on the front/left side.
I attached the circles together with Liquid Glue and attached the entire piece above the Ribbon with Dimensionals.
I attached the Squirrel to the right of the circles with Mini Diemensionals. (double stack on the right of the Squirrel)


I stamped the sentiment on a Basic White small label, cut with the Stylish Shapes dies, with Tuxedo Black Ink.
 I attached the sentiment to the upper part of the front of the box with Liquid Glue.
I punched 2 sets of holes in the top flap of the box and ran Glittered Organdy Ribbon through them.
I tied a bow at the front.
For the final touch I added 2 Balmy Blue Solid Faceted Gem on either side of the sentiment.
