Stay Closed Treat Box

Isn't this the neatest box!?! You can fill it with treats and the box remains closed until you squeeze the sides.

I made some of these for friends we are going to see over the Easter weekend. 

If you would like to make this box, go here.

Box and Card Combo

Isn't this the neatest idea?!? This box when opened holds a card. No more trying to keep the card with the box. The card fits inside this flap on the underside of the lid.

Little Sweet Treat

Elaine at papercraftbutton.blogspot.com shared directions on how to make this little sweet treat box. 

My little box holds three Hershey Kisses, but it would hold up to five. 

Hope you have a great day!

Divided Treat Box

While scanning through the many crafting blogs which I follow, I came across this box made by Brenda. I thought the box was cute and that I would save it for Easter treats, but decided to make some for a couple of friends who have birthdays in February.

I only had Valentine colored Hershey Kisses, but they still look pretty cute. I have only placed a tag on one of them so far.

Hope you have a great day!

You Crack Me Up

As you can see from most of my posts, what I make comes from other's creativity. Yesterday, I picked up some Reese Peanut Butter Eggs. After putting the groceries away, I picked up the eggs and headed to the craft room. I decided to take all that I learned and try my hand at making a box for the eggs.

Once I started, the box just fell together. I was excited and very happy with the result!

Here's the finished box ...

For those who have asked for directions, here they are ...

CS 4 1/2" X 11"

Score on the long side at 1", 5", 6", and 10"

Score on the short side at 1" and 3 1/2"

Cut up to the score line on each long side and trim the tabs at an angle. 

Use a circle or oval punch to punch a thumb grab.

Turn the CS over and place sticky strip or fast fuse on each tab.

Adhere four tabs to the long sides without the punched end to create the box. Adhere two tabs to the long side with punched end to create the lid.

Adhere DSP 2 1/4" X 3 3/4" to the front and decorate as desired. 

The stamped image was cut out with the Deco Label framelits and I trimmed to top and bottom to be straight.

I used dimensionals on the four corners of my stamped image and ran the ribbon underneath the stamped image and around the back - the reason it's not straight on the left side. :/

Hope you have a great day!

Baskets

I made these baskets following this YouTube video. I was thinking of Easter when I made these, but wouldn't they be cute in red, white, and black for Valentine's Day???

I hope you have a great day!

Slim Covered Notebooks

Here are a couple of notebooks I recently made. These are quite easy and the notebooks are 5" x 8" notepads cut in half at a Office Max.

Hope you are having a great day!  ツ

More Carrots

I made these carrot sour cream containers for my daughter to give to her classmates before they head off for spring break.

Hope you have a great day! ツ

Another Bunny Bag

This bag was inspired by Tracy May. This bunny uses punches - I didn't have a couple of the punches so I made do.

Hope you have a great day! ツ

Carrots anyone?

I was inspired to by Lynda Shrimpton's carrot patch below.

I wish I could find some carrot candy like she did, but I did find some! The umbrella looking handles are there because the chocolate is like a lollipop.

Sorry for the shadows - it was very dark and rainy the day
I took the picture so I had to use a light instead of sunlight.

I would have to say it does look like a carrot patch, but not as nice as Lynda's.

Have a great day! ツ

Bunny Bags

A friend showed me these cute bunny bags and I fell in love with them. I ordered the die from papertreyink.com and received it over the weekend.

Here is one of the bunny bags I have made thus far ... I have made two, but only took this picture since I mailed it to my mom today.

I hope my mom likes her bunny bag! 

Have a great day! ツ

Fold Open Box

I CASE'd this from Sam Donald. She made the box to hold a Yankee Candle votive candle. When I saw this fold open box, I knew I had to make one to hold an Easter Egg!

I was a little dismayed when I tried to put the egg in the box with the round part down - the box wouldn't close! I turned the egg over (pointed or smaller end down) and it fit perfectly!

Now to get a few more of these made before I have to get my daughter from school!

Hope you are having a great day! ツ

Easter Treats

I decorated these bottles (purchased from Pick Your Plum) for the children I am teaching in Bible class.

I know, it is really early to have Easter treats completed, but if I don't do them now, Easter will sneak up on me and they won't get done!

Once the goodies are eaten, the bottles can be used to hold the children's favorite drink! They are BPA free so the children can drink out of them.

Have a great day! ツ

Hoppy Easter Card

I CASE'd this card from Mary Fish.

I loved the simplicity of the card since I needed to make several to send to family members.

The stamp set is Eggstra Spectacular from Stampin' Up!

Have a great day! ツ

Easter Baskets

Just a few baskets I made this afternoon while listening to the rain! ツ

Treat Box with Pull Tab

Thanks to Vicki Collins for posting this box on a Facebook group I belong to. She did post a YouTube video for this at http://youtu.be/-LFqd9CC6Rg

This is the box I made ...

Here it is open ...

Not bad for my first try. I was too anxious to see if I followed her directions that I did not allow my glue to dry so the box did not come apart quite as clean as it should.

I hope you like the boxes! Have a great Monday! ツ
