Cute Easter Treat box

Cute Easter Treat box encasing yummy carrot shaped chocolates for Easter. This stamp set has a carrot image. It was perfect for decorating the front of my box. The carrot chocolates is from our local supermarket and I liked the shape of the box it was packaged in. It took me several attempts through trial and error to duplicate the design which has a pinched top and sloping “roof” effect.

My prototype was tied with the ⅜” Pecan Pie centre stripe ribbon, but I found the ribbon duo combo pack had a narrow Lemon Lime Twist ribbon which matched the DSP perfectly. So for the second one, I switched ribbons. Which do you prefer?

Side of box

This is a view of the side of the box so you can see the pinched top made possible by incorporating additional score lines on the box sides.

Back of box

I decorated the lid and back of the box with DSP from the Glorious Gingham 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) DSP pack on a Lemon Lime Twist mat layer.
