TO CREATE THE BOXES:
To make them you need a 5 x 5 piece of cardstock, scored at 1.5 inches from the edges, and then folded and adhered. To create theses 6 boxes took about 15 minutes! Very quick! Here is a little tutorial with pictures how to make the boxes:
1. I used my The Tiny Dancer Collection paper that comes with the Easter Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions to create my drawers
2. Cut cardstock to 5 x 5 inces
3. Score cardstock at 1.5 inches from the edges
4. If you don't have a Scor Pal - you can use a Paper cutter - just place where it needs to be scored and use your scorer along the path of the blade.
5. Cut the paper along the vertical fold only until the middle
6. Fold and adhere
7. Use a mini circle punch (1 "punch) to create a half circle to create room to pull the drawers out
8. Your 2 x 2 inch card is ready to be decorated and filled!!!
TO CREATE THE HOLDER FOR THE BOX:
After you make the boxes - you can create a little shelf to hold them in - I created a box that was to hold the drawers in. All you need for this is a piece of cardstock that is 8 3/16 by 5 1/2 inches to hold two of these drawers. The cardstock is then scored at 2 inches, folded and adhered. Here is a little tutorial on how to make these drawer holders:
1. I used the beautiful and heavy cardstock from Taylored Expressions (comes with the Easter Key Ingredients kit) and measures 8 1/2 x 11 inches
2. I cut the cardstock to 8 3/16th by 5 1/2 inches and then scored at 2 inches from the edges.
3. No Score Pal? No problem - you can use your paper cutter as a scorer - just run the scorer through the tracks of where the blade would run
4. Cut vertically up the folds towards the middle (2 cuts going up on the bottom and 2 cuts coming down from the top)
5. Fold and adhere.
6. Your rectangular box (4 3/16 x 2 inches) is now ready to hold two little drawers!!
Then all you have to do is to adhere and create levels to your mini chest by stacking them up. I created three levels. And then decorate as you like.
This project was really simple - because all the papers in the Key Ingredients kit coordinates and it comes with built in accessories such as the felt flowers, brads and matching ribbon. Everything is already ready at your fingertips!
Since this is a gift for one of my dear friends - I used this beautiful sentiment: We are friends forever in sunshine and shade! Isn't that sentiment just the sweetest! It was fun to stamp the tree from the Branching Out set on either side and decorating them with the emerald liquid pearls for leaves and brads for flowers (an idea that was inspired by Donna Baker). I stamped and cut out the tree branch from this set and also two little cutie owls from the Branching Out coordinate set and then tired a little bow from this sheer ribbon. On the front of each of the drawers, I attached these super cute felt flowers with these cute glittery brads - all of which come together as part of the Key Ingredients kit.
Supplies:
Ink: SU! Rose Red
Accessories: Scorer, Paper Cutter, ruler, (Ribbon, felt flowers, brads - all come with the Easter Key Ingredients kit), adhesives, 1"circle punch (Martha Stewart), Liquid Pearls

-
Step 12
Decorate the box.
Attach a few coasters with ribbon and adhesive to create a fun open-topped box.
Supplies
- Mod Podge® [ buy it ]
- Foam brush
- Five 4” x 4” medium-weight chipboard coasters Need some of these? StartLitStudio (Cindy Lyles) stocks chipboard coasters in her online store.
- Five 4” x 4” pieces of patterned paper
- Sanding Block
- Ribbon
- Piercing template
- Hole punch
- Scissors
- E-6000® [ buy it ] or other strong glue
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Adhere one 4â€�x4â€� patterned paper square to each of the five coasters by applying Mod Podge™with a foam brush. Let dry.
-
Step 2 (Optional)
Sand and trim rounded edges. Coat the outside with Mod Podge™ for a finished look.
-
Step 3
Place the piercing template on the edge of one of the coasters. Trace approximately every other large hole onto the coaster.
You will have 5 traced holes lining the side.
-
-
Step 4
Punch the holes with a hole punch. A Crop-o-Dile® was used here.
-
-
Step 5
Once one side of the coaster is punched, set it directly on top of each of the other coasters and use it as a punching guide. Punch two opposite sides of 4 coasters.
The fifth coaster will be used as the bottom of the box and should not be punched.
-
Step 6
Use ribbon to tie the four sides of the box together. You can lace the ribbon or tie it across the coasters.
-
-
Step 7
Apply strong glue to the edges of the last coaster. Adhere to the bottom of the coaster box.
-
Step 8
Finish project.
Supplies
- One 3" by 11” piece of cardstock
- Scrap piece of cardstock
- Scor-Pal™ or similar scoring tool
- Scor-Tape™ or other double sided sticky tape
- Scissors
- Pencil
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Start with a 3" by 11” piece of cardstock.
Score at 3”, 6”, 9”
-
Step 2
Fold cardstock so that it forms a triangle shape. Do not adhere.
Trace around the perimeter of the shape with a pencil on the same colored piece of cardstock.
-
Step 3
Cut out triangle shape leaving about ¼ inch border around the pencil lines.
The pencil lines do not have to look good!
-
Step 4
Line the top and bottom of each line up on your Scor-Pal™ and score the line.
The scored line will not always follow the pencil line exactly, a close approximate is fine.
-
Step 5
Cut out the triangle areas where the score lines crossed (as shown in the picture).
Do this for every corner.
-
Step 6
Fold up the sides of the triangle bottom.
Apply Scor-Tape™ along each outer edge of the triangle.
-
Step 7
One by one, take off the strip of sticky tape backing and adhere the bottom to the each side.
Follow the numbers to adhere them in the easiest order.
-
Step 8
On the final edge adhere the small flap to the bottom of the triangle bottom and then adhere the final large side over the smaller side.
This will make sense as you do it.
-
Step 9
Decorate as you wish. I find it easiest to create layers and then adhere them to the triangle box with foam mounting tape.

-
Step 2
Turn cardstock, and on the 11" side of your cardstock, score at 1", 5”, 6” and 10”.
-
Step 3
Following the scored lines along the 11” side, use scissors to cut flaps.
Begin cut on outer edge of paper and stop at the perpendicular scored line as shown.
-
Step 4
Adhere flaps to inside of box.

- Paper cutter with scoring blade
- Scissors
- Sticky Strip™ or other adhesive
- 3 Hershey's® Nuggets® chocolate bars
- 3 1” x 3 ¼” pieces of cardstock or patterned paper or Avery® 5160 address labels
- Embellishments
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
On the 5 1/4” x 3 3/4” piece of cardstock, score all 4 sides at 1/2” and 1 1/8”. It is easiest to measure the 1/2” mark on the left side of the cutting/scoring blade track. Then turn the paper around to measure the 1 1/8” mark on the right side of the cutting/scoring blade track.
-
Step 2
Use scissors to remove the 3 small boxes that make an "L" shape at EACH corner. On the long (5 1/4") sides, cut along the score line to the 1 1/8" mark creating little flaps as shown.
The box goes together easily if the flaps are trimmed on an angle as shown.
-
Step 3
Fold each short side and then the long sides of the box, securing with Sticky Strip.
Use a bone folder or other straight edge to give the creases a sharp, crisp fold.
-
Step 4
This becomes the box.
-
Step 5
Moving on to the 5 1/8" x 3 1/16" piece of cardstock, with the 5 1/8" side at the base of the trimmer, score the 3 1/16" length at the 11/16", 2 1/4", 2 15/16" and 4 7/16" marks.
-
Step 6
Fold on the score lines, wrap around the box to check for correct fit and secure the overlapping edges with Sticky Strip. This is the sleeve.
-
Step 7
You may use strips of cardstock or patterned paper cut into 1" x 3 1/4" strips. Because the cardstock is a heavier weight, use glue dots to secure the two ends of the strip at the bottom of the nugget. This creates a mini sleeve for each nugget.
-
Step 8
Nuggets may be covered with stamped 1" x 2 5/8" (Avery® 5160) address labels.

Line the piece of 4” x 9 1/2” cardstock or paper with the short side along the top of the Scor-Pal, then score at 1” and at 3”.
-
Step 2
Turn the cardstock so that the 9 1/2” length is at the top of the Scor-Pal.
Score at 1”, 3”, 4” and 6”.
-
Step 3
Keeping the 9 1/2” length along the top of the Scor-Pal, shift the cardstock to the 15/16” mark (between the 7/8” and 1” mark) and score at 8” and 10”.
Note:
If you are not using a Scor-Pal, score cardstock at 7 1/16” and 9 1/16”.
-
Step 4
Keeping your cardstock oriented as it was in step three, cut away the pieces along the score lines as shown.
Scored lines were traced with a black marker for this tutorial. The solid lines indicate additional places to cut. The tab on the far right side is ¾” long.
Note:
Use a ruler and measure, then draw the tab with a pencil to make sure it is centered.
-
Step 5
Angle cut each of the four tabs. The blue arrow is pointing to one of the four tabs.
-
Step 6
Cut a centered, 1” slot with a hobby blade on the second score line from the left.
Note:
The black line indicates where the slot should be cut. Use only one stroke of the hobby blade; the slot needs to be narrow.
-
Step 7
Punch a 1 3/8” centered circle in the second segment from the left.
Hint:
Draw an ‘X’ from corner to corner with a pencil to help get the circle centered (the blue dotted lines represents the pencil marks).

Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Score each side of 5" cardstock square at 1 1/2".
-
Step 2
Adhere strips of patterned paper to each of the outer center panels.
-
Step 3
Cut the two score lines on top and bottom of the square.
Punch a slot in the two center pieces that have the cut score lines next to them.
-
Step 4
Fold one flap in and punch through existing hole to add a slot in the sides of the basket.
Repeat with each flap.
Hint:
Don't try folding the box sides up and punching through all three layers at once. The slot punch can only punch through one layer at a time.
-
Step 5
Apply adhesive on the outer sides of the flaps and fold them in one at a time to create the basket.
-
Step 6
Loop ribbon through the slots and secure with a brad to make a handle.
Variation:
Instead of using the slot punch and ribbon, try a strip of cardstock attached with eyelets or brads.
-
Step 7
Apply strong adhesive to a scallop punched cardstock circle.
-
Step 8
Adhere scallop to peppermint patty.
Decorate a second scalloped circle and adhere to the other side of candy.
-
Step 9
Decorate the basket and fill with embellished patties.
When made using these dimensions, the basket will hold four patties.

- Paper Cutter with scoring tool
- Scissors
- One 6 5/8" x 11" piece of cardstock
- One 4 1/4" cardstock square
- Four pieces of patterned paper measuring 2 1/2" x 3 7/8"
- 20 inches of ribbon
- Oval Coluzzle, or other oval cutting tool
- Self healing mat
- Craft knife
- Glue
- Sticky Strip™
- Scallop Edge Punch
- Scrap cardstock for decorating
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Line up your 6 5/8" x 11" piece of cardstock vertical with your paper cutter and score at 2 5/8".
-
Step 2
Turn your cardstock and score at 2 5/8", 5 1/4", 7 7/8" and 10 1/2".
-
Step 3
Fold all the score lines, and then cut on them to make flaps along the bottom. Cut off the smallest end piece.
-
Step 4
Center your Coluzzle™ between the score lines and the top of the box (I marked my score lines with a black marker) on one of the box side panels and cut out an oval.
-
Step 5
Centering your Coluzzle™ over one of your your patterned paper pieces, cut out a slightly bigger oval from the center. You want the hole to be bigger for matting purposes.
-
Step 6
Adhere your patterned paper pieces to the box front and add some Sticky Strip™ to the flap on the end.
Optional:
Adhere a piece of Acetate on the inside box to cover the window to keep loose treats from falling out.
-
Step 7
Remove the red liner and adhere the box together.
-
Step 8
With the box upside down and the oval facing toward you, fold in the 2 side flaps.
-
Step 9
Add Sticky Strip™ to the flap in the back of the box (no oval), remove the liner and fold down the front flap to finish the box.
-
Step 10
Score your 4 1/4" square piece of cardstock at 3 1/2" on all sides.
-
Step 11
Cut on the right score line on each side, creating flaps.
-
Step 12
Punch the edges off your square with the scallop edge punch, but cut the scalloped area off the flaps. You do not want them to show under the other scallops.
-
Step 13
Using your craft knife, create slots in the top of the lid. You could also use a punch if you have one that works. Decorate as desired using scrap cardstock and patterned paper.
-
Step 14
Add glue on the flaps to adhere the lid together.
-
Step 15
Thread the ribbon through one slot, then go under and around the box, threading it through the other slot. Tie shut to hold the lid on.
-
Step 16
Decorate your box.
