Easter Treats

With this being Easter weekend, I wanted to make a few more projects using the Egg-cellent Easter set before it has to be put away. Since I love to make treat boxes/bags that's what I decided to make. I plan to use them as door prizes at Kim's party tomorrow afternoon.

Nugget Box:


Stamps: An Egg-cellent Easter
Paper: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Whisper White Cardstock and Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Certainly Celery Ribbon, Stampin' Pastels, 1 3/8 Circle, 1 1/2 Circle, and Scalloped Circle Punches; Blender Pen, Dimensionals

1. For the bottom of the box, score 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 piece of Bashful Blue cardstock at 1/2 and 1 1/8 on all sides.
2. Cut off the three small boxes that make an "L" shape in each corner. On the long side snip along the score line up to the 1 1/8 score line to create little flaps.
3. Apply adhesive to the outer side of the flaps and the inside of the other edges and fold the box together.
4. For the top of the box score 5 1/8 x 3 1/16 piece of Bashful Blue cardstock at 11/16, 2 1/4, 2 15/16, and 4 7/16.
5. Fold on the score lines around the box and adhere ends together. (If you don't fold it around the box before adhering, you might make it too tight for the box to fit inside.
6. For the nuggets, wrap 1 x 3 piece of Designer Series Paper around each candy piece.
7. Decorate box as desired.

Top Note Treat:

Stamps: An Egg-cellent Easter
Paper: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White Cardstock and Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Apricot Appeal Ribbon; Stampin' Pastels; 1 3/8 Circle, 1 1/2 Circle, and Scalloped Circle Punches; Big Shot; Top Note Die; Blender Pen; Dimensionals; Medium Cellophane Bags

1. Send scrap piece of Certainly Celery cardstock and Designer Series paper through the Big Shot machine using the Top Note Die.
2. Fold both Top Note pieces in half. Cut DSP Top Note in half. Stamp sentiment in top right corner.
3. Wrap Apricot Appeal ribbon around DSP and adhere.
4. Fill medium cello bag with wrapped nuggets. Fold bag to close and place inside the folded Certainly Celery Top Note.
5. Staple bag to Top Note making sure that the front of the staple is in the back and that the prongy side comes out the front.
6. Adhere DSP Top Note with ribbon to the bottom half of the Certainly Celery Top Note covering the staples.
7. Decorate as desired.
