2. Place the 11” side in to your trimmer, so that the 1” cut lines up with 1”  mark and score down to the first cut line. Move the card into 2” and score down to the first cut line, move to 5-1/2” and score the middle section only (as shown in the cutting diagram on the below)) move down to 6-1/2” and score down to the first cut line.
3. Flip the card over and repeat the scores on this side (do not turn the card around).
4. fold the two 1″ score lines as Mountain folds and the two 2″ folds as Valleys. Fold both the 5-1/2″ and the 6-1/2” as Mountain folds
5. Adhere the paper strips to the side and one to the front bottom section.

Easter Milk Carton using the Daisy Meadows stamp set

Hi my crafty friends 🙂

Lets start to get ready for Easter with this cute Milk Cartons and the bunch of flowers from the Daisy Meadows stamp set.

This one is made in Ballerina using Intense Black ink to stamp the image and then colouring in with the Tri-Blend Markers: Pale Pink Shades, Citrus Blends & Jade Green Blend.

This one is made in Mint card stock and the Tri-Blend Markers used to colour in this one are: Green Turquoise Blend, Citrus Blend & Jade Green Blend.

This box has a Butterfly on the side Because I accidentally got some black ink on it when I was stamping the flower image. So instead of throwing it away and starting again, I just stamped the Butterfly over the top of my mistake.

Oh, and this is how many eggs fit inside these boxes.

The ribbon for both the boxes came from Shiploads (like the $1 Tree store). Its just Organsa Ribbon that matched my Card stock perfectly.

Here are the measurements, instruction and video for you to watch:
