Storybook Moments Spring Treat

I’m so happy to see signs of Spring everywhere, aren’t you? So, today’s project is a Storybook Moments Sweet Spring Treat that I designed and created.

Storybook Moments Suite Collection

For this sweet treat, I’m using products from the Storybook Moments Suite Collection. I love using Suites because everything is already coordinated for you and you just can’t go wrong.

I call this a MEGA Suite because it has TWO stamp and die bundles, plus TWO different DSP (Designer Series Paper) packs, along with ribbon and embellishments. Throw in some coordinating cardstock and you’re all set to make beautiful projects!

Storybook Moments Spring Treat

This is a tiny little treat and contains a chocolate carrot. I found the candy at my local dollar store in a mesh bag of eight. I thought they’d make a perfect Spring treat.

I created this box specifically to fit the chocolate carrots.

How It’s Made

Measurements

Lost Lagoon Cardstock – 3” x 5 ¾”

Basic White Cardstock – ½” x 2 ½”, 1 ¼” x 2”

Storybook Moments DSP – 1 1/8” x 1 ¾”

Instructions:

Score Lost Lagoon on short side at ½” from either side. Score on long side at ½”, 1 ¼”, 2 ½”, 3 ¼”, 4 ½”. If you don’t want to see a score line on the back of your project score only from the edge to the first intersecting score line on either side at the 4 ½” mark.

On both of the long sides, cut each score line up to the first intersecting score line. Cut away the four corner sections. Wedge the edges of the four small flaps and the flap on the end. Use the smallest Perennial Postage die to cut a window in the 1 ¼” section. See picture below.

Use bone folder to burnish all score lines. Fold bottom section into box shape. Fold flat on score line just under window. Apply glue to end flap and tuck under, sealing to back of box. See picture below.

Fold in small flaps on one end, then larger flaps, leaving front flap last to give a nice finished edge from the front. Apply glue across back edge of last flap to seal box. Add treat and repeat on the other end.

Stamp carrot in Mossy Meadow on white and color with Blends. Cut out with coordinating die. Stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon on white strip and use Snips to cut ends diagonally.
