Adorable Penguin Treat Box

This fun treat box was inspired by and measurements were taken from Chicnscratch.com

Start with a 10 x 7" piece of Fresh Freesia Cardstock. On the 10" side, score at 3 1/2", 4 3/4", 8 1/4" and 9 1/2". On the 7" side, score at 1 1/4" and 5".

Cut the cardstock along the score lines until it looks like this:

Punch a 1" circle in the middle of the two top flaps. You can round the top corners if desired.

Add glue to the 1/2” strip and glue into a box shape. Tuck in bottom side flaps and glue the bottom closed.

From August 3rd to September 30th, for every $50 you spend on Stampin' Up!© merchandise, you get a free selection from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This adorable Penguin Playmates 12 x 12" DSP was my top choice!

To decorate your box, use the polka dot DSP and cut a piece 3 5/8 x 3 3/8". The box side strips are 3 5/8 x 1 1/8" and were done with the fun striped pattern!

Using Misty Moonlight ink pad (153118), stamp the balloon string on the polka dot DSP, also stamp the sentiment "I like you a Lottle, It's like a little except a Lot" on a 3/4" scrap of Basic White. Cut the right side into a banner shape and mount onto a 1" scrap of Misty Moonlight and cut the right side into a matching banner shape. This banner was glued flat onto the box.

On basic white cardstock, stamp 3 balloons, one in each color, Fresh Freesia (155611), Just Jade (153115) and Misty Moonlight. Punch out with the retired balloon punch, or fussy cut. I glued 2 balloons flat and popped the other up with a dimensional.

The adorable little penguin was punched out of the DSP with the Penguin Punch and added with a dimensional.

My final touches were a Blue Adhesive Backed gem (153547) on the banner and Pool Party sheer ribbon (152462) to tie the box closed.

Below is an alternate Sweet Ice Cream version I did using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set (158224) and Ice Cream Cone Builder (154241) punch.
