Easter Gift Box - Blog Hop

Welcome to the Easter Treats Blog Hop!  My fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators have prepared some paper crafting projects to inspire you.  Just follow the links at the bottom to see all the projects.

In my house, we often exchange Easter treats and gifts... but they don't come from a bunny.  We celebrate the new spiritual life we have received because of Jesus' resurrection from death.  So my project is inspired by the new life we see around us in SPRING!

I love the bright flowers especially. It was a quick project with my Simply Scored Tool!
I used the colorful and fun Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper as well as smooth card stock in Peach Parfait, Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, and Whisper White.  A few embellishments added to the happy little box.


Stampin' Supplies:
 - 2 strips of Designer Series Paper, cut one 4 x 12" and the other 4 x 11-3/8"
 - coordinating card stock
 - Floral Fusion Sizzlits Die, Little Leaves Sizzlits Die, Big Shot
 - Boho Blossoms Punch, 2-1/2 Inch Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch
 - VersaMark Pad (sponge around edges of all card stock)
 - White Craft Stampin' Pad (for sentiment), Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set
 - Basic Rhinestones Jewel Acents
 - Sticky Strip, Tombo Multi-purpose Adhesive
 - Simply Scored Tool

Click on the image below to see a bigger version.
 1. Score your 4x12 piece of DSP at 4" and 8". Rotate and score again at 3/8" and 3-5/8". Fold along score lines.  Score your other piece of DSP at 4" and 7-3/8". Fold along score lines.
 2. Overlap in center / bottom of box.
