LAWN FAWN | Milk Carton Die "Dog House Gift Boxes" (video)

*** This is 1 of 2 posts today. For the Bella Blvd Military Max blog post featuring a quilt and drawstring backpack tutorial, click HERE. ***

I absolutely adore the Lawn Fawn 3-dimensional dies, like the Goodie Bag and Candy Box. I've created several projects using these dies in the past. They make the perfect little gift boxes for all kinds of small treats and gifts!

Lawn Fawn has done it again by adding the Milk Carton to it's 3D die collection! I created little dog house Milk Carton gift boxes by combining other Lawn Fawn die cuts with the Milk Carton and adding a sweet little stamped dog from the Critters From the Burbs Stamp Set!

 

For each milk carton treat box, I die cut the Milk Carton twice from SSS Schoolhouse Red Cardstock. It takes two die cuts to create one box.

For the dog house door opening I used one of the new Stitched Oval Dies cut from SSS Black Cardstock. I die cut the 11" edge of a piece of SSS Green Leaf Cardstock using the Grassy Border Die and die cutting the border twice for one long continuous border.

While the dog house panels are still flat I stamped "i ruff you" greeting from the Critters At The Dog Park Stamp Set on the front of the dog houses using Versamark Ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.

For the "shingles" on the dog house I die cut SSS Black Cardstock using the largest of the Scalloped Border Dies. I adhered the scallops one on top of the other and trimmed off any excess.

I stamped the dog and tennis ball from the Critters From the Burbs Stamp Set on watercolor paper using Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink and colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then die cut the images with the coordinating Critters In The Burbs Dies. I glued the die cuts in place and assembled the milk carton "dog house".

I die cut the banner from white cardstock using the banner in the Large Journaling Card Set and scored it in half to make a folding tag. I die cut the smaller hole reinforcement from SSS Schoolhouse Red Cardstock using the Tag You're It Die Collection and glued it to the tag. I stamped "to" and "from" from the Birthday Tags Stamp Set using the new Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink.

I punched holes in the top of the milk carton, threaded some Cloudy Lawn Trimmings Twine through, secured the tag and tied it in a bow.
