Adorable Spring Treat Boxes featuring the SPRINGTIME JOY Stamp Set

Spring is almost here in York, PA.  The weather hasn't always cooperated but I can tell it's coming because the days are getting longer and the stores are stocked with Easter treats.  The SPRINGTIME JOY Stamp Set, with its adorable animal images, is the perfect starting point for Spring treat boxes.


My first project is this quick and easy cookie pouch.  I purchased individually wrapped coconut macaroons on Amazon to put inside but many other cookies would fit.  The picture below shows HYDRANGEA HILL Designer series paper but I made over twenty of these using up all my extra paper.  I just changed the color of the tag and the BLENDS I used to color the flowers.  So simple.  Here's the Amazon link.

Poppies Chocolate Covered Macaroons



1)Start with a piece of HYDRANGEA HILL Designer Series Paper cut at 10-1/2in by 5in.  On the SHORT SIDE, cut at 1/2in from both sides.  On the LONG SIDE, score at 2in and 6in, 6-1/2in. Using your PAPER SNIPS, cut the 1/2in margins off the 2in panel of the DSP.  Cut loose the square tabs along the outside edges of the paper.  Using the TRIO PUNCH, round the corners on that panel as well.  Adhere the outside panels together to create the pouch.    

2)For the tag, die cut the label from the PIERCED BLOOMS DIES using SEASIDE SPRAY card stock.  Stamp the bunny image on BASIC WHITE card stock using MEMENTO BLACK INK.  Color the bunny using SMOKY SLATE and PETAL PINK BLENDS.  For the flower crown, I used HIGHLAND HEATHER, SEASIDE SPRAY and SOFT SEAFOAM BLENDS.  "Fussy cut" the bunny image and adhere it to the tag with dimensionals.  Stamp the WELCOME SPRING sentiment on a 1/2in strip of SOFT SEAFOAM card stock.  Punch a hole in the top of the tag and tie it to the treat pouch using the GORGEOUS GRAPE RIBBON.  

Are you a PEEPS fan?  This can be a very polarizing question.  Some people love them, some loathe them.  Whichever side of the issue you are on, you know it's almost Spring when they pop up in the grocery store.  For my PEEPS Bunny Treat Box, I purchased the four pack at my local Target.  I was inspired to create this box by Susan Levasseur at WOW NOLA Creations.  Thanks Susan for this adorable idea.

 

1)For the box, cut a piece of HIGHLAND HEATHER at 9-1/2in by 8-1/2in.  Score at 1in, 4-1/4in, 5-1/4in and 8-1/2in on the LONG SIDE.  On the SHORT SIDE, score at 1/2in, 1-1/2in, 7in and 8in.  Before assembly, cut a window out of the lid of the box using the 2-1/8in square from the STITCHED SHAPES DIES.


2) To make the window frame, use the same square die along with the next largest.  Nest them together on a scrap piece of BASIC WHITE card stock and run them through the CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE.  Using TOMBOW liquid adhesive, adhere the window frame to the box.

3) On another scrap of BASIC WHITE, stamp the bunny and basket images from the SPRINGTIME JOY stamp set using MEMENTO BLACK INK.  Color the bunny using SMOKY SLATE BLENDS and PETAL PINK for the bunny’s nose and cheeks. For the flower crown I used DAFFODIL DELIGHT, HIGHLAND HEATHER and SOFT SEAFOAM.  For the basket, use CRUMB CAKE BLENDS and HIGHLAND HEATHER, SOFT SEAFOAM and DAFFODIL DELIGHT BLENDS for the eggs. 

4) Using the PIERCED BLOOMS DIES, cut out the label using BASIC WHITE card stock and small flowers using SO SAFFRON and HIGHLAND HEATHER card stock. Then I stamped the sentiment on the label using MEMENTO INK.  Stamp the WELCOME SPRING sentiment on a 1/2in strip of BLUSHING BRIDE card stock using the MEMENTO as well.  "Fussy cut" the bunny and basket images and adhere the pieces as shown on the picture above.
