Here is my second Spring Garden that I CASEd from Lauren!!! I promise, I won't show you EVERY single one I do but this one is quite different than the first one so I thought I would share!!! I will definitely share though if I am able to find some jars that will fit inside the "egg carton" holders in the box! Anyway, this one is quite polka dotty. I designed it TOTALLY around the red and white polka dot paper I got at Target in their dollar spot. I knew I would be glad I got it!!! Hope you like it!
This one was definitely not as time consuming as the one in my previous post. I basically cut a piece of the polka dot wrapping paper to be long enough to fit around the entire box. I also made it wide enough so I could tuck it down inside the box (I will show you the inside in a minute!) so I just used adhesive and stuck the paper on the box. I trimmed the polka dot paper at each corner just down to the top of the box so I could fold it in without it being folded or scrunched. I used some adhesive to adhere these down as well as the bottom. The ribbon and flowers were done basically the same as the previous box. I will show you a close up in a minute as I did stamp the white flower and I really like how it turned out!
The bags were done by stamping the flower background stamp from Boho Backgrounds using Black Stazon. I used punched Whisper White using my SU! scallop punch for the tops of the candy on the inside. Here is a picture of that.......
This one was fun finding all the red, white and black candy! I used Lifesavers, Black jelly beans (I love these but I don't think anyone else does!!! LOL!), red & white gumballs, Twizzler bites, Starburst red jelly beans and red Swedish Fish. I covered the "egg" holder part with Basic Black cardstock. This was really easy as I just laid the cardstock on the carton, used a pencil to trace the circles on the back, punched them out with my 1 3/8" circle punch, adhere the cardstock on the holder and then trimmed around it. Easy as can be!!!
The Spring Garden Sentiment is also from the Just Hatched set. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink and then cut it out leaving a very small edge. I then mounted it on Basic Black cardstock and cut it out again. I punched an oval from my Marvy Giga oval scallop punch and then mounted all of it on top of a rectangle I cut from Basic Black cardstock using my rectangle Nestabilities.
The flowers are all misc. flowers I have had. The black scalloped ribbon is from Lindsey as are the red single jewels and the jeweled flower center (by MAMBI). I used a pop up glue dot to adhere the flower on the front. The ladybug is from Autumn leaves and was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink and then cut out. I colored in the dots using my Copic Spica red glitter pen, added it's antennas with my black marker and stuck it on using a dimensional.
In case you didn't see my previous post with all of the links for the supplies used, HERE it is!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!!!
Have a great day!

These are great boxes from papertrey. I love what you did with them! I've actually never ordered from PTI yet. Now I'm stuck on making boxes after Tamara's box challenge. I'm going to work on a spring/eater type. Also inspired by Lauren and her easter basket she posted. :-)
