Easter Take Out Box

Remember the gift idea I made from the Petal Cone die for the Big Shot. CLICK HERE! I first saw this little box on my 2nd upline Heather Summers blog and I had to try it.

When my crafting ladies and nephew signed up for the Easter craft, I asked them to pick either blue (Baja Breeze) or pink (Rose Red) and they would make a craft with the colour they chose. It was these boxes that they made just in the colour they chose.

Gift Idea!!

The Occasions Mini Catalogue has a lovely Big Shot die, the Petal Cone can be used different ways. It can be used as a card, a box and you can hang it as an ornament.

This pictures does not do justice to this cute cone. What I like about it is you can fill it with treats to give a way as a gift.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Easter Blossoms 121905W & 122057C
Card Stock: Rose Red -5 1/2 x 6 1/4 times 2; Crumb Cake for scalloped flaps; Very Vanilla for oval punch
Ink: Rose Red ; Crumb Cake
Other Supplies: Big Shot 113439; Bigz L Die Petal Cone 121810; Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon 121884; Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon 122332; Springtime Vintage Big Buttons 122301; 2 x 1 3/8" Oval Punch 119859; Sponge 101610

Tool Tip: In order to not waste lots of paper when using your big shot dies, cut the paper about 1/4" larger then the item you want to cut out on the die you are using. Why cut the whole die out when you don't need it all.

All the Springtime options that are in the mini catalogue have me excited for Spring.
Have a great day Stampin' Readers!!
