Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips Scissors:
   - 4" x 6" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock, scored at 1" mark on all sides
   - 4" x 8-1/4" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock, scored at 2", 3", 5-1/4", and 6-3/8"
   - 3-3/4" x 6" of various fruits on white background design from Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 2" x 3-3/4" of intersecting angled white lines on light green background design from Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
   - small fruits cut from various fruits on white background design from Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper using Paper Snips Scissors

2. Fold the 4" x 6" Daffodil Delight piece on all the score lines.

3. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut the four corners to make little flaps.

4. Put Tear & Tape Adhesive on the flaps and fold in place to make an open topped box.

5. Fold the 4" x 8-1/4" Daffodil Delight piece on all score lines.

6. Wrap the Daffodil Delight piece around the box bottom and secure in place using strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Make sure NO adhesive touches the box bottom or it won't slide in and out.

7. Adhere one end of the various fruits Fruit Salad Designer Paper over the top of the 2" x 3-3/4" green Fruit Salad Designer Paper piece by about 1/2". The left and right edges should be even.

8. Put Stampin' Seal all along the edges of the joined together piece of Fruit Salad Designer Papers on the back side.

9. Carefully wrap the joined together designer paper pieces around the box so they are centered on the box sleeve. The end of the various fruits paper should now overlap the end of the green paper. About 1/2" of the green paper should show along the top of the box sleeve.

10. Fill the box base with treats and slide it back into the sleeve.

11. Cut a 15-16" piece of the White 1/2" Woven Ribbon.

12. Wrap the ribbon around the box so it is centered over the green strip of designer paper on the top of the box sleeve. Tie in place with a knot on the right side. Trim the ends.

13. As you are ready to stamp using the Bright Borders Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.

14. Mount the leafy vines border image from the Bright Borders Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal white rectangle so the pointy edges are on the left and right sides.

15. Mount the sentiment of choice from the Bright Borders Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the border image making sure the pointy edges of the border are on the left and right.

16. Unlock the To The Point Label Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped image into the punching area and get it lined up. Punch.

17. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label punch out to the top of the box sleeve as shown so the points on the side are centered over the top of the ribbon and the label punch out is on the left side of the box.

18. If you haven't already done so, use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out some tiny fruits from the Fruit Salad Designer Paper. Adhere them to the top left side of the sentiment label punch out as shown using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or small bits of dimensionals cut from the edges of the sheets.
