It's in the bag...

That is the theme of this month's Clear and Simple Group Project!  We are breaking out the new CSS favor box dies, and sharing some fun ways to package up those goodies!  

Here is a fun little treat box I created!  Keep reading and I will show you how I did it!  And I have lots of pictures...so its a long post!  :)

To make my "sweet treat" box, I used this die...

Now hang on with me here....I have lots of pics to share!  When I got this die, I realized the platform on my Big Shot was not big enough!  But I was still able to cut it out and it was very easy!  Here you can see how much of the die hangs off...

I ran it through until it hit the end of the platform...

And then rolled it back through.  I just carefully slide the die and paper back through....

And then rolled it through again.  

If you don't pull it all the way out, the paper that is already cut stays snugly in the die and won't move so you can slide it down and finish the cut.  

I cut one in pink and one in red....

Then with my trimmer, I cut the tops off of each box...

After the top is cut off, I took my Fiskars Cloud Scissors and added the scalloped border.  You can cut the box shorter for a smaller box or keep it longer for a taller box.

I bent the pink box in slightly on the sides, just so the red "top" would fit down easily.

And there you have it!  A super easy box with a decorative lid!  Then decorate!

And here is the box together one more time!  I added a CSS tag die with the little owl from Taglines: Little Critters and some saddle stitch ribbon from Hobby Lobby!

All of the other DT girls have some fun things to share too!  Here are the links...
