Easter Treat Box

I have a little treat for you today!  I created this gorgeous Easter treat box using the hexagon box on page 48 of the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.

I recently came across Stamping At Tiffany's blog via Pinterest.  Her hexagon birthday box and  Jayma's TREAT-FILLED Starbucks Christmas box inspired me to make a creation of my own.

A zip strip border from Chantilly was added along the top of the box lid.  Other than that, it is all cardstock!  In other words, this project is timeless.  Recreating this next year will be a snap;  the cardstock will be available! 
The rolled rose is from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  It was cut in Cotton Candy cardstock.  After it was assembled and the edges rolled down, it was inked with Cotton Candy ink to give it more dimension. 

Every side is different!  The bunny is cut from Art Philosophy.  It’s just created from ovals, the leaf shape and a circle. 

The birdies and vines as well as the grass border are from Artiste. 

Happy and Easter are from Artiste.  The butterflies & eggs are from Art Philosophy.

Here’s my favorite!  The bunny bum on a spring.  We have these great adhesive springs.  The base is only 3/4” wide, so you can mount pretty small items and give them a bit of bounce.  It’s all simple shapes from Art Philosophy.  The springs are Z1725.

Here’s a close up of the spring.  They also collapse very flat so you can embellish cards and they’ll spring to life when pulled from their envelope!

The eggs are from Art Philosophy.  I almost always at high speed.  But cutting the detailed layer of this egg, I slowed my old machine down to medium speed and it cut very nicely. 

The last side has butterflies and flowers from Art Philosophy.  I love these two cartridges!  They’re so versatile and between the two, they cover nearly all of the holidays! 
You’ll have to come back and see what’s inside!  I’ll be posting the inside which is just as amazing in a day or so!  Remember, I am calling this a treat box.  You’ll want to come back to see the treats!

At this time, I haven’t created a tutorial, Cricut Craft Room file or instructions on how to create this.  Sorry, life has been a little cRaZy around here lately…  I will say that to make some of my itty bitty items, I changed the settings on my Cricut to cut at .3, .4, .6, 7” increments instead of the 1/4” that it is defaulted to.  You’ll do this by pushing the settings button twice and then using the arrow keys to select “1/10 inch increments.”

I’m linking this up with two challenges:
