Cute Foil Egg Treat Box using the Layered with KIndness Stamp Set and the Label Me Fancy Punch

As I write this blog post the sun is finally shining through the window after a long period of cloudy days.  I'm reminded again that Spring is on its way.  With Spring comes the arrival of Easter and nothing screams Easter more than FOIL CHOCOLATE EGGS.  

These cute little foil egg boxes measure about 8 inches long and hold about 6 foil eggs.  I started with a piece of card stock, in the picture above I used PACIFIC POINT, MELON MAMBO and DAFFODIL DELIGHT. The card stock is cut at 3-1/2in by 8in.  Using my SIMPLY SCORED SCORING TOOL, I scored on the long side at 1/2in, 1-1/4in, 6-3/4in and 7-1/2in.  On the short side, I scored at 3/4in, 1-1/2in, 2-1/4in and 3in.  Before assembling, I adhered to each of the four panels, strips of the 6X6 BRIGHTS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER in the coordinating color.  The strips are cut at 5/8in by 5-1/4in.  Lastly, to create the small window, I took the CLASSIC LABEL PUNCH and punch out a window about 1-1/2in in on the panels with DSP. 

Using TOMBOW LIQUID GLUE, I adhered the box together along the side flap.  I pinched closed one end and secured it with two GLUE DOTS.  I put the foil eggs in and secured the other end.  To embellish, I tied a pretty box using the POLKA DOT TULLE RIBBON.  

For the tag, I used the amazing LAYERED WITH KINDNESS stamp set and coordinating LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH. 

 I stamped the "FOR MY FRIEND" sentiment in the coordinating color on a scrap of WHISPER WHITE CARD STOCK and punched it out.  I used a DIMENSIONAL to secure it to the box.  And that's it.  Easy and fun.  I could make a million of them.  At least until my unusually large stockpile of foil eggs from Amazon runs out.  Here is the link to those yummy foil eggs.

An adorable Spring Basket using the PLEASED AS PUNCH DSP and the LAYERED WITH KINDNESS STAMP SET

Life has changed dramatically in the last week.  Schools are closed and people have been asked to self-quarantine here in PA.  I'm blessed that both of my daughters are home with me and we are making due.  My husband continues to work but he's being careful too.  I'm a academic tutor and I've been able to do some online sessions with my students.  Our routines have completely changed and that makes up feel anxious and fearful.  Crafting has always been an activity I've chosen to help me relax and take time for myself.  Now more than ever, I need my crafting.

Today I'm sharing with you a cute little spring basket you can make quickly and easily.

I used the amazing PLEASED AS PUNCH DESIGNER SERIES PAPER, a perfect paper for all your Spring projects. 

For the embellishments, I used the LAYERED WITH KINDNESS stamp set and the LABEL ME FANCY and LABEL ME LOVELY PUNCHES.  i also used my FREEBIE Sale A Bration BLOSSOM PUNCH to add the final touches.

For the base of the basket, you need a 3-1/2in by 3-1/2in piece of Coastal Cabana card stock, scored at 1/2in on all for sides.  Use a 3in by 11in strip of the DSP for the body of the basket.  Two pieces of basket trim in Coastal Cabana are cut at 1/2in by 11in.  The handle is cut at 1/2in by 8-1/2in.  The video tutorial below shows how the basket came together.
