Happy March friends. Finally some warm weather. Time to so some fun spring holiday crafting. First, of course, comes St. Patrick's Day. Thought a cute little green treat holder filled with chocolate gold foiled coins would be the perfect gift for those cute little leprechauns.
This is a quick and easy design. Start with a piece of DSP cut at 4-1/2in by 8in. On the LONG side, score at 1-1/2in, 3in, 4-1/2in, 6in and 7-1/2in. Score at 1-1/2in on the SHORT side. Fold and crease on all the score lines. Cut of the small rectangle piece at the right bottom of the panel then cut up each vertical score line to the first horizontal score line.
Use TOMBOW to adhere the small tab to the opposite side of the panel. Turn the box so that the flaps are on the top. Put TOMBOW on the underside of all but one flap. Fold them down carefully to assemble the box. To finish off the bottom, adhere a 2in circle of the same DSP or coordinating card stock.
Next, pinch together each of the top corners to make a fold line in between. The opening will then resemble a star. Pinch those same corners and punch a hole with a 1/8in punch close to the center of the top.
For the tag, I used the die from the Valentine's Day bundle. I used the sentiment from the OVAL OCCASIONS bundle, covering up the flowers with sticky notes before adding ink. The shamrock was make using card stock and cutting out the row of small hearts from the same Valentine's Day bundle. Glue together three hearts to form the shamrock with a tiny strip for the stem. Place it on the tag with DIMENSIONALS.
Thread ribbon through holes in the box, through the tag and tie a bow. The video below shows how the treat box comes together.
With Easter around the corner, it's never too early to start on "bunny boxes." This treat holder was inspired by Angie from CHIC N SCRATCH. I took her amazing idea and just changed out the DSP and the sentiment.
For the treat holders base you will need two pieces of card stock, one cut at 2in by 8-1/4in and one cut at 3-7/8in by 3in. On the first, score at 3-1/2in from both ends. Use the TAG TOPPER PUNCH to punch both ends of this strip.
Score the second panel at 1in on all four sides. Fold and crease then snip the tabs apart. Adhere the tabs to the side panels to form a box. Put TOMBOW on the bottom of the box, center and adhere it to the middle panel of the first piece.
To decorate, add a coordinating piece of DSP cut at 1-3/4in by 2-1/2in. I used paper from the PANSY PETALS SUITE but you can use anything "springy". Adhere it to the front of the treat holder and tie up the ends using coordinating ribbon.
For the bunny, use the LADY BUG PUNCH and the MEDIUM DAISY PUNCH. Punch out both die cuts using BASIC BLACK card stock. Cut off the lady bug's antennae and place two petals, cut from the daisy punch at the top of the head to form ears. Before placing the bunny on the cut out a 2in circle the same color as the base of the treat holder. Then cut out a coordinating scallop in WHISPER WHITE. Layer them on the front and add the bunny with DIMENSIONALS. For the sentiment, I cut out the HAPPY SPRING portion of a sentiment from the TIMELESS TULIPS stamp set.
Check out the video below to see how this cute little bunny treat holder came together.
