25 Days Of Christmas- Design a Treat Box and variations

 

The Design a treat box is so funny- Love the tiny box but more so I love the antlers and bunny ears it came with.   The only thing is once you put the ears on and glue it down you cannot open the box without ripping it - and I like to store it flat when I am making it so what to do?

 

the Kit is really clever- I like the little lines stamp that mimics ribbons on the box - although I wish the ribbon was more delicate. The deer is made using soft suede cardstock. The antlers were made using Early Expresso. Punch out circles using crumbcake and cut in half and stamp the bottom of the face on the half circle and 2 small matt black dots for the eyes. His ears were diecut using crumbcake cardstock.

Doing it this way you can squeeze the ears and antlers between the 2 half circle tabs on top and still be able to open the box.

I did the rabbit ears the same way - used thick white cardstock to make the box, stamped the face on it and diecut the ears and colored the center with light flamingo stampin blends. Now the only issue is the center falling out because it was diecut all the way through- so what I did  was to punch a large daisy punch (retired now) using white cardstock and colored it in with same flamingo stampin blends and glued it to the back- it is just large enough to hold the center piece i n place- just add a fluffy white bunny tail to the back and you are good to go for Easter!

These tiny boxes do hole one piece of Lindor chocolate bonbon as shown on the left - what a sweet surprise-

on the original sample I had the eyes on the top half of the circle with another piece of 1/2 crumbcake piece - although the face was split it looked better than having that big hump on the top- but I think I like this version - Margery came up with - better since I can still open the box using this method.

 Details of the card variation for those who did not want to make a box- sentiment from Brightest Glow set. Used a rhinestone gem colored in with real red stampin blends to make it red.  You could also use a small red pompom1
