Easter Boxes Using the Petal Card Punch!

I don't know about you, but I bought the Petal Card Punch when it first came out last July. I couldn't get it to work properly. Apparently is was "operator error", go figure..... Then I came across Mary Fish's blog and she had the cutest little boxes for Easter.

Mary's Tip: Put your card stock into the punch, punch face up, setting on the table, using the palm of your hand, punch. It works every time, cuts it, and scores it perfect!

Punch 4 Petal Cards.

Then you cut off one scallop on each piece.

Fold on all the score lines and add adhesive to the scallop across from the one you punched.

Adhere them together. This will be the inside of your box.

The adhere the last one to form the box. Then fold the petals down to close, like you would a big box without tape. Add your treat, and fold the top the same way.

And this is what they look like when decorated. Thanks Mary for this GREAT little project!

Punches I used for the Bunny:

5-petal flower (ears)

Oval, 3/4" x 15/16" this punch carried over from the Holiday Mini, (butt)

3/4" circle punch, (body)

Heart to Heart punch, (tail) I used the smallest heart

I added a piece of Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon to stabilize the box.

Chick:

large oval (body)

1" circle punch (egg)

Owl Punch, (eye)

I added a piece of So Safron Taffeta Ribbon to this box.

You can see in the photo I also sponged both boxes with Sahara Sand ink.
