lil box o' sticky notes

Check out this cute lil box...


With a surprise inside...


I picked up this little cube of 2x2 sticky notes the
last time I was at the big box store.


I figured I could do something with it...

Start with a piece of 5"x5" cardstock (I used Wild Wasabi)
 and score at 1 1/2" and 3 1/2" on both sides.


Snip 2 lines... on 2 opposite sides.


Turn the paper over and stamp with a large background
stamp... I used the "Medallion" stamp.


Use "Snail Adhesive" to glue each of the 4 tabs.


Fold over the tabs and press together, making sure 
the "middle" flap is on the outside.


Next, you need to make your lid.
Cut another piece of coordinating cardstock to 3 1/8 x 3 1/8".
Score at 1/2" around each of the 4 edges.


Flip over the cardstock and stamp with the "Medallion" stamp.


Snip 2 scored lines on 2 opposite sides.


Use "Snail Adhesive" on all 4 tabs, 
fold inward, and press together.


Make a tag... on this one I used the free Sale-a-Bration set
"Sweet Summer" and the "sweet" verbiage came from 
"Fabulous Phrases".  I tied a button with "Linen Thread",
tied the top of the box with "Early Espresso" striped ribbon
and glued the tag to the top.

Voila!



My husband said it would make a cute gift for his 
secretary... I think it just found a new home!

This was so easy to make... try it!

Need any supplies?
Have any questions?


Have a great day!
