Project Tutorial
Step 1 – Cut the Basic White cardstock to 6 3/8″ H x 10 1/2″ W. Score and fold as shown in the image below. This will be your base for your Sweet Treats box. Use your Bone Folder to burnish the folds to get crisp edges.
Step 2 – On the Basic White Cardstock, cut the bottom flaps as shown in the image below.
Step 3 – Assemble and glue the Sweet Treats box together. Tuck the 1 1/2″ wide side flap INSIDE when gluing together. Tuck the bottom flaps as explained in the image below.
Step 4 – Choose a piece of designer series paper from the Country Floral Lane DSP pack and cut it to 4 1/4″ H x 9″ W, making sure to account for directional print. This piece will surround your box so you want the direction to lay the correct way.
Step 5 – Cut your DSP into 3/4″ W strips. NOTE: Keep your strips in order so when you glue them to your box, they make one continuous pattern. HINT: I numbered mine lightly on the back in case a cat jumped up on my desk and got them out of order. 🙂
Step 6 – Using your Happy Labels Pick-A-Punch, punch the SCALLOPED top on the top of each of your 3/4″ W DSP pieces.
Step 7 – Glue your DSP strips onto your Basic White Sweet Treats box, starting on what you want to be the “front” panel of your box. Glue strips 1, 2, and 3 – starting at the left edge, making sure to line the strips up flush at the bottom and flush at the left and right edges of that side of the box. Move to the next side on the right. Continue until all strips are glued on the box in the order they were cut. TIP: Use liquid adhesive for this so you can move them around and position them as needed. You want both the bottom and top of all pieces to line up straight with each other. The top of the DSP will be a little taller than the box itself. This is “by design” – so the scallop isn’t lost by the background white of the box itself.
Step 8 – Using the small piece of Basic White, the red Stampin’ Ink Pad, and a sentiment from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, stamp the sentiment on the Basic White and cut to the shape and size desired.
Step 9 – Using the Real Red Cardstock Scrap and the Country Bouquet Punch, punch out a red heart.
Step 10 – Using the scrap piece of the DSP, align the Country Bouquet Punch such that a heart can be punched out of an area that is white with multiple small hearts on it.
Step 11 – Glue the two hearts together, with some of the red heart showing behind the DSP heart.
Step 12 – Glue the two hearts to the front of the sentiment tag.
Step 13 – Adhere the sentiment tag and hearts to the front of the Sweet Treats box with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Step 14 – With the 9 1/2″ long piece of Burlap Ribbon, glue it to the box by wrapping it around the bottom of the Sweet Treats box, starting on the “back” panel, keeping it aligned flush with the bottom of the box.
Step 15 – Embellish the sentiment tag with the pink dots from the 2021-23 InColor Opal Rounds.
Step 16 – Using your Wink of Stella, brush over the small hearts on the DSP heart you punched out.
Step 17 – To finish, put your treats inside a small cello bag and tie off with the three pieces of remaining ribbon – 2 pieces of Real Red and 1 piece of Burlap, all 12″ lengths. TIP: BEFORE tying it off with ribbon, put it in your box to make sure there are enough treats to be seen over the top of the Sweet Treats box.
