12 Days of Christmas Projects – Project #5
Christmas Project #5 - Mini Milk Cartons
Christmas Mini Milk Cartons
Perfect for chocolates, sweeties/lollies, or small gifts, these Mini Milk Cartons are too cute at Christmas-time.
The Mini Milk Carton is cut from a Stampin’ Up! exclusive die that is used with your Big Shot. The great thing with this die is that you can use it with the standard cutting plates that arrive with the Big Shot, so there’s no need to purchase extra cutting mats.
Once you’ve cut your cardstock template, you can either decorate or stamp the cardstock prior to assembling the milk carton, or you can decorate it after it’s assembled like I have done here. I’ve cut one Mini Milk Carton from Designer Series Paper (Jolly Holiday – love it!!), and the other one is cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock with Old Olive cardstock scallop features. If you see the Cherry Cobbler milk carton – it has a see through window…. I simply punched out a circle on one of the sides before putting it together, and then adhered a small square of clear Window Sheet on the inside (to prevent the treats falling out – we can’t have the treats falling out, can we???!!!)
I’ve used my circle and scallop circle punches to create tags, and affixed them to the milk carton with a mini library clip (with glue dots!). The stamp set for the tags is Sparkly and Bright – so cute.
I think I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve been using Tombow Glue to glue my 3D projects – really, this is so much quicker than the Sticky Strip and the glue is super strong too! So for any small projects that aren’t going to have anything too heavy in them, I’ve been using Tombow Glue. Sticky Strip still has its place in my heart (LOL), but I mix and match and grab what’s handy at the time – I’d completely run out of my Sticky Strip while creating these projects for you so Tombow Glue stepped up and didn’t disappoint!
Thankyou for visiting.
