Seal envelope. Using Simply Scored tool, score 1/2" along three sides of the envelope (the two longest and one shortest). Trim a bit off the top edge that wasn't scored - this will be opening to the box.
Stamp bird and 'It's your birthday' on front of envelope with black stazon and colour with aqua painter and ink pads, I used Marina mist, a bit of real red on bird's tummy and a dash of Hello Honey on body and beak.
On scrap piece of Crumb Cake card stock, use Black stazon ink to stamp word bubble, "A little birdie told Me" inside bubble. Use aqua painter and a bit of Marina Mist around dots on word bubble. You can also add some Hello Honey ink with the aqua painter inside the bubble too. Cut out and set aside.
On another piece of scrap crumb cake, ink Sun stamp with Hello Honey and colour inside with aqua painter. Cut out and set aside.
To build the box, crease all score lines on envelope really well. Then put you fingers inside the envelope and fold corners to create little tabs. You should now have a flat base with the two tabs on each end and the sides of envelope are now walls of box. Glue tabs to bottom using glue dots, sticky strip or tombo glue.
Use stampin' dimensionals to add sun and word bubble to front of box. Once you've filled it with goodies, pinch top closed and use crop-a-dile (or hole punch) to punch to holes. Thread a piece of ribbon through and tie a knot. Your envelope treat box is now complete and ready to give away to a lucky person!
