I loved sharing this tutorial with DCRU awesome DT members..

Its a  fun tutorial for a beautiful gift set...perfect for the teacher's gift, mother's day, birthday..almost any occasion ..

Lets start with the supplies....

                           
2 sheets of 12"x 12" cardstock..

Patterned paper ..I used Bo Bunny~Kitchen Spice Collection---CLOVES

1 sheet of Acetate(8 1/2" x 11"),

Scor-tape, Glue Glider Pro,

 Justrite Stampers,
Nestabilities: Labels One, Circle.
Cuttlebug embossing folder-- Swiss dots,

 Crop A Dile,

Momento - Tuxedo Black ink,

Dew Drops-Chocolate

Copics,

Post-it (3" x 3"), Ribbon, Candy..I used Hershey minis...
Step1:

We will make the box first....Cut cardstock to 5-1/4" x 10-1/2". Score at 1/2" and 1" on all 4 sides.

I have marked the lines for better view..

Step2:
Cut off the X marked portions....

Step 3:

Apply Scor-tape as shown...I love Scor-tape..its the best adhesive for these kind of projects..

Step 4:

Now fold carefully to make the box-base....and adhere

Step 6:

Next  we will make a divider insert for the box..

Cut Cardstock to 3"x 10 1/2" ...then score at 3-1/4", 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 6",6 1/2" and 7"...

Step 7:

Fold the score lines into mountain and valley folds..like this..

Step 8:

Adhere it to the box base with scor-tape...

Step 9:

Now we will make the slider cover..Cut the acetate to 8 1/2" x 8 3/8".

Score at 1/2", 3-13/16, 4-3/8", 7-11/16" ..and apply scor-tape to the 1/2" part..

slide it on the box and then adhere the ends..for better fit.

Our box is done...now lets fill it up with goodies..

Step 10:

Cut three pieces  of  3" x 1 1/2" patterned paper  and wrap it around the Hershey Minis..

 

Step 11:

To make the post -it holder... cut cardstock to 3" x 6 1/4" and score it at 3" and 3 1/4"..

I embossed it with Swiss dot folder..

Step 12:

Adhere the post it to the cover using scor-tape....

Step 13:

Now embellish the cover as you like..I used  Label one die to cut a piece of Bo Bunny Paper and added  flowers with iCandy Epoxy Brads...

Step 14:

Time for mini note cards.. Cut 4--- 3"x6" cardstock pieces..

score at 3" to make mini notecards..I embossed them with Swiss dot folders...

and add a strip of 1" x 3" Bo Bunny paper..

Step 15:

Stamped the Justrite Stamper's sentiment and image with momento ink on white Neenah paper,

colored the image quickly with Copic Markers..

Adhere the image to the cards and punched a hole with Crop-a-dile to add bow..

and finally adhere two Dew drops...

Step 16:

We have all the goodies ready..time to complete the package with Ribbon ...
