Super quick…super cute…super fun! These little gems whip up in a 1-2-3 and this would be a great project to make in quantities if you were looking for a wow factor + a functional gift for gift cards…candies….movie tickets etc…This is exactly what I needed for a little gift for my son's girlfriend Lydia! The colors I used remind me of her – fun, fresh and makes you smile!
You can make 2 boxes out of 1 sheet of paper! How easy is that! The Simply Scored Scoring Tool makes this a breeze and the key product in my opinion in making 3 D projects sturdy is using the Sticky Strip Do you want to know the dimensions and "scoring scoop" on this quick and easy project? Click here and I'll be glad to share them with you!
Using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die and the On Board Sheets to cut the initial out – this simple yet wow touch added the depth to the project! Naturally, my main stampin' man, Mr. Big Shot, did the hard work in cutting this out but I have a super tip for you….
When cutting out these initials – I use a 2 x 2 piece of chip board…adhere my colored card stock on it…FLIP it over and put stick strip on the back of it BEFORE I run it trough the Big Shot, this way all I have to do is peel off the sticky strip and presto!
You can see that I used a piece of card stock for the handle…you could also use ribbon – that would be super cute but I liked the idea of the card stock and I used a brad on the side to jazz it up a bit! Cute, right!
Now the front….You could do an endless amount of ideas! This was just super quick and fun! Polka Dots make me happy and I always have a template around to make fun projects like this. Just take a heavier piece of cardboard ( like the kind that comes in our packaging) and make some templates in all different shapes…( see below) – this way you will always have a fun and quick technique ready to go! You can tell that this has been well loved!
You can see how a quick sponging of the circles and a quick stamping over top makes this a fun and fresh project!. If I were to do a bunch of these I would cut out all of my white paper…put just a dab of adhesive on the back( so they would not wiggle while you are sponging) do all of the sponging…then go back and do all of the stampin'…..then add the initials!
Seriously, this would be a great project for the Easter Holidays if you wanted something cute and needed to make many! It is very inexpensive to make and a project that is great for an "assembly line" job!
I hope you have a great weekend! I am hoping to get lots accomplished myself at home…it seems like it has been a crazy but great week and I am ready to have a bit of down time! I am a click away if I can be of any help to you…as you know, I love to help you and inspire you…have a super day and until tomorrow!

I like your box very much! It reminded me that I’m supposed to be making something to hold the birdseed (in place of rice) for my daughter’s wedding. I think this would be too big, but it does have me thinking.
Would you have any suggestions or ideas on something simple to hold birdseed? She thinks that just having the “containers” next to the bowl of birdseed, as she saw done at a friend’s wedding, would be a good plan. It only needs to hold a tablespoon or two of birdseed.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful project!
Susan, Love your box project! I do need to get the dimensions as this would be great to decorate my table for Easter with little gifts as my kids are too big for an egg hunt. LOL Love the template!
Bridget, I saw an idea with filling plastic spoons with birdseed and wrapping them with netting, decorated with ribbon and displayed in a basket so everyone can pick one as the couple leaves. Hope that helps!
I would love the dimensions for this cute box. I would like to make them for Easter favors.
I too would like the dimensions. Such a cute idea for Easter. I clicked on “Click here” and it sent me to an email to you.
I would love the dimensions too please.
