Easter Mini Series; #4 Creme Egg Mini Milk Carton

Thank you for joining me for project four of five in my Easter Mini Series! 

These projects features the Hello Easter stamp set (145783).

I wanted to create something to hold and spruce up a creme egg...

So today's project is a mini milk carton that perfectly fits a single Creme Egg (or many other small goodies). I love how cute this turned out and it would make a perfect little treat gift or party favour :) 

I am still getting use to creating my own boxes from scratch, so this project is in CM asit was easier to get the size bang on for the egg . I tried to convert the measurements in to inches for you but the size was just not coming up right, so apologies for that.

Party Animal Suite ~ 3D Project (Milk Carton)

Project #3 of the Party Animal Suite Showcase!

 

I thought it would be fun to showcase a 3D project, something that would be suited as a small gift or addition to a gift. This milk carton gift box was simple to make and can be filled with chocolates, sweets, bath or nail goodies. Stampin’ Up! has a die in the form of the Baker's Box Thinlits Dies (138279) that can make creating this box even easier!

Crumb Cake cardstock was used for the base of the box, which has to be my favourite colour cardstock, and is also one of the colours coordinating with the Suite! To decorate; the Party Animal Designer Series Paper (142738) was cut and mounted on Emerald Envy cardstock to tie in the colours of the DSP and ribbon. Balloons were stamped from Balloon Adventures Stamp Set (142823) and punched out with the Balloon Bouquet Punch (140609) for quickness and the centre balloon popped up with a dimensional. I punched a hole in the top of the box on either side to tie the box together. This ribbon is fab and coordinates lovely with the suite - Ribbon Taffeta Emerald Envy (142742).

Many fun designs can be created with this suite and they can be as simple or intricate as you want to make it. Either way they will look fab and the recipient will love it!

Happy Stamping,

        AMIE
