Sealed With Love Milk Carton
I really like Stampin' Up!'s Baker's Box Thinlits Dies. In the past I've made a bunch to fill and give as school treats for my son's classmates. For this Valentine's Day, I needed to make some more, but I had one problem. The quantity and packaging of the treats I purchased wouldn't fit in the Baker's Box, nor any other Stampin' Up! container. What to do? What to do?
Well, I decided to put my engineering skills to work and create a larger version of the Baker's Box. I decided to call my version a Milk Carton, because that's just what it resembles. The finished dimensions of the Milk Carton are about the same as the Baker's Box, except that it is taller and a little wider. Most importantly it allows me to stuff more goodies inside, so problem solved. It's such an easy and quick project. I hope you'll give it a try!
