Pleased as Punch Box for a Lindt Bunny

This project was one of those "how do I wrap this" projects!! Lindt Bunnies are lovely, but not easy to wrap!!

Once I had the idea of an insert to hold the bunny, and a drop front to show it off, it actually came together very easily & I'm quite pleased with the result!

The Pleased as Punch papers, with their lovely cheery spring colours, were perfect to decorate my box, and the tag from the Time for Tags stamp set, coloured with Stampin' Blends to match the colours in the paper, mounted on card cut with the Stitched so Sweetly dies, was an obvious choice to complete the project.

Mine was for a birthday present, but you could easily just change the tag for a different occasion!

Hope you like it!

Instructions:

NB these instructions make a box suitable for a 200g Lindt Bunny

Box:
Cardstock (I used Pool Party) 5" x 8 15/16"
               Score on long side at 2 7/8"

Cardstock 10 3/4" x 9"
              Score on long  side @ 2 7/8" from each side
                        on short side @ 2 7/8"

Cut up to the score line, wedge into the tabs & trim the tabs to make them slightly shorter. As in the template below

Adhere the tabs to the inside of the bottom of the box, noting that at this stage your box will have no front piece.

Now attach the first piece of cardstock to the inside of the base of your box, to form the drop front.


Lid:

I used DSP measuring 8 3/16" x 10 5/16"

Score all 4 sides @ 1 1/4", 2 5/8"

I like to cut on each corner in turn, rotating through 90° before working on the next corner. Cut as in the template below.

Now attach each tab to the adjacent side using wet glue or tear & tape adhesive, then fold in the side flaps and attach. 

Insert:

Cardstock measuring 7 15/16" x 5 13/16"

Score all 4 sides @ 1/2", 1 1/2"

Use the second largest stitched nested labels die to cut a hole out of the central panel. Line up the die so it is closer to one end than the other. 

Cut as in the diagram below.

Adhere each tab to the adjacent side, as you did with the lid, but this time leave the side flaps loose.

Using wet glue on the side flaps & on 3 sides of the insert, adhere the insert into the box, making sure not to glue it to the front drop flap. 

Decorate with DSP
