This small box really is made with the Mini Milk Carton die. We LOVE the new Sweet Pea DSP. We glued the DSP to So Saffron card stock for more stability, then cut one milk carton. We cut off the top portion of the carton - the part with all the score lines. We then adhered the box together with Sticky Strip after sponging everything with Chocolate Chip ink.
The lid is made from acetate which allows the recipient a glimpse inside. We started with a 2-5/8" square piece of acetate. We scored all sides at 1/2" and cut all four corners up to the 1/2" score line. Now, we aren't sure why, but we had to "mess" around with this quite a bit. You may have to adjust your score lines. These measurements worked perfect with card stock but were a little loose with the acetate.....who knew. We found that Snail held the lid together AND didn't show - much.
The scrunched flower on top is made with the Scallop Circle punch and So Saffron card stock. Of course, these scallops were sponged with Chocolate Chip as well. The center is a brown button tied with Linen Thread. There is a Chocolate Chip scalloped border along the bottom of the box.
So very cute! I love altering the dies and this is a great idea. Really like the acetate lid, so thanks for the measurements! Love that paper too. Great flower. Gotta try it. Thanks for sharing all your creativity with us.
