We have a new product this year called Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes. These boxes are fashioned after the boxes that the Paper Pumpkin kits come in, but they are sized a bit smaller.
Yesterday I created a couple pet-themed treat boxes with these, a few punches (the Balloon Bouquet Punch, the Heart Punch Pack, and the Lovely Label Pick a Punch), and the products in the Playful Pets Suite (the Pampered Pets Stamp Set, the Pets Dies, the Playful Pets Designer Paper, and the Playful Pets Trinkets).
The kitty and doggy images are both from the designer paper. I hand-cut (fussy-cut) the kitty, mouse toy and ball. But I was able to die-cut the doggy since this is the same image that coordinates with an image in the stamp set. And all four of the pet images in the stamp set have coordinating dies in the Pets Dies set.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements per box…
- Real Red Cardstock
- 3-11/16” x 5-1/2”
- Scrap for punching heart
- Playful Pets Designer Paper (words background)
- 3-9/16″ x 5-3/8″
- Playful Pets Designer Paper (pet images)
- Scraps for cutting and/or die-cutting images:
- Basic Black Cardstock
- Scraps for punching heart and four small balloons
- Smoky Slate Cardstock
- 7/8″ x 3-1/2″
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 1″ x 3-1/2″
- Scraps for stamping and cutting food bowl
- Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- Scrap for punching heart
Tips…
- Cut away the bottoms of the balloons to get the black ovals for the paw prints.
- Punch the Smoky Slate and Whisper White strips. Stamp the sentiment. Then layer these together.
- Build up all the top layers (word background paper, paw print, cut out pet images, and layered label) BEFORE attaching to the Real Red Cardstock layer. This way once the layered label piece is added, the excess can be trimmed off.
- Notice the layered label is only attached with a Dimensional on the inner end. The pets are on Dimensionals (except for the cat’s tail). And the pet toys are added with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- The trinket on the front flap is attached with a Glue Dot.
- Stamp “Enjoy” and the bowl on Flirty Flamingo or Real Red Cardstock. Punch it out with the heart punch. Cut out the bowl after stamping this image on a Whisper White scrap. Add this over the bowl on the punched heart piece. Layer this onto a punched scalloped heart and add to the inside of the box along with some treats.
The treats you put inside can be for someone’s doggy or kitty. OR you could use this box to enclose a gift for a special person who just loves animals. Then the great thing about this box is it could be re-gifted because it can open and close without needing to tear apart the design. OH! And these boxes when assembled with the glossy/coated side in are “food safe.” Yay! It keeps things less messy.
