-
Step 1
Cut black cardstock measuring 6 1/4" x 3".
Score on short side at 1 1/2" and on long side at 1 1/2", 3", 4 1/2" and 6". Keep the tab on the top, but cut off below the score line. Cut up to the score lines on the bottom row. -
Step 2
Use strong adhesive on tabs and assemble the box.
-
Step 3
Punch or die cut 2 rounded tags from black cardstock, approximately 1 1/2" wide.
NOTE:
For the sample, Stampin’ Up!’s Note Tag Punch was used. -
Step 4
Punch or cut a white tag.
If using the Note Tag punch, trim off the sides as shown. If using nesting dies, use the next smaller die. -
Step 5
Adhere the white piece to one of the black tags, creating an even border around the edge. Trim the excess off the bottom if necessary.
-
Step 6
Punch or cut out a 1/4" square from a scrap of orange cardstock. Fold across from corner to corner.
-
Step 7
Make two earmuffs for the penguin using a small oval punch or die, or the Word Window punch as shown.
-
Step 8
Wrap ribbon around the tag for a scarf, and secure it with a Glue Dot. Adhere ear muffs, googly eyes and beak above the ribbon. Add 2 Black Candy Dots for buttons under the ribbon (buttons, brads, or punched circles would also work).
-
Step 9
Complete the project and tuck a treat inside.
