EASTER TREAT BOXES


Last Sunday I decided to take a break from cards.  Tomorrow one of our daughters and her two daughters are going to spend Easter Sunday with us.  Our other daughter's family will be with her in-laws.  I thought it would be fun to make some treat boxes since it was just going to be the five of us.  I watched a video from Stamping With Amore and decided it looked really easy.  In fact, it should have been but these are my 4th, 5th and 6th tries.  lol  

The first time I messed up on the punched window, the second try I messed up on gluing and couldn't fix the mess and the third try, I discovered there was a cut in the fold of the paper (probably scored to hard and it cut through).

The middle yellow one in the picture has the window a little off center but I was running out of the paper so had to make it work.  The other two turned out just fine.  Instead of any glue, I used Scor-Tape on all three of these.

In the video she left the window open because she was adding some little foil wrapped eggs.  The only thing I had here that would work was M&M's so I added a piece of acetate behind the window using score tape.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate the special holiday.  Thank you for coming by today!

The paper does it all except for adding the sentiment on this one. I have so many papers with strips of paper that would work on a card like...
