I help out at my local Guide group so I want to give them all a little Easter egg with out breaking the bank. So I have bought some inexpensive foiled covered egg and decided to make boxes for them to make them look special. I have made 4 different designs. My original measurements mean that you can only get one from a 12x12 sheet (with LOADS of paper left over) but a small adjustment meant you can 2 from a 12x12 sheet (again with a sizeable amount left over)
I coloured the DSP with an ink pad, I literally covered the paper in ink by turning the pas upside down and dragged it all over the paper until it was covered evenly. You can use a sponge brayer but that will take time to build up the colour but if you want a lighter finish then this would be the way to do it.
Measurements
- 6 1/4" x 7 1/2"
- Score on long side @ 1 3/4" - 3 1/2" - 5 1/4" - 7
- Score on short side @ 1 3/4" - 4" - 5 3/4"
Alternate Measurements (to get 2 boxes from a 12x12 sheet)
- 6 x 7 1/2"
- Score on long side @ 1 3/4" - 3 1/2" - 5 1/4" - 7
- Score on short side @ 1 1/2" - 3 3/4" - 5 1/2"
Box 1
- I used the smallest Stitched Oval to make an aptiture in the front of the box
- I used the little flower die from Petals and More die set
- I made a 'Happy Easter' tag using the Tiny Tiny sentiments
- This was attached to twie that was tied round the top.
Box 2
- I forgot to make the appiture in this box! lol
- Berry Burst Ink Pad to colour the Cardstock
- So I just made a circle tag and tied a ribbon around the top
- I used the 1 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch
- A Good Day stamp set for the sentiment
- 1 1/4" circle punch
- Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon
