Funny because I started thinking that I must have this die somewhere in my stash and I was right!! I was super excited that I had it and that I could duplicate this treat box! Then I was thinking of alternatives, I think too much yeah? but anyway, I thought anyone could make a similar box without this die since you can't find it, except maybe on ebay? So, if you want to make one of these boxes, here's my take on how I made a box similar to the one I got from Cheryl.
I started with a piece of cardstock (used Pumpkin pie) 3" x 10 1/2" long. Score at 2 1/4", 4 1/2", 6 3/4" and 9". Turn the paper and score at 1 1/2". Cut as shown. This is kind of like that 2, 4, 6, 8 box...
Should look like this:
Then adhere the bottom flaps to close.
Then adhere the bottom flaps to close.
And attached them to the box! Added a strip of designer paper and that's it! Easy huh! Saved yourself some $ to buy a different die :)
Here's what my finished box looked like. I used this cute Halloween ribbon I got from Fay last year...Thanks Fay! Remember this?!
I just love this stamp "Treats Only Please"...is that cute, or what!? If you create one of these boxes, don't forget to post a link so I can see it!
