July 4th is coming up and not only do I love decorating in red white and blue, I love to make festive cards and other paper crafts to give friends and family for this fun Summer Holiday. I used the 'oh so cute' Land That I Love collection to make and decorate 3 treat boxes to go along with the cards and tags I shared on my last post. Here’s a look:
First up is actually more like a goodie bag, I die cut this using two pattern papers and a 2x2 cut apart as my focal point. The happy little star is from the odds and ends pack and adhered with foam tape. I finished it off with a clothespin bow at the top.
My second container is a 3 inch mini, clear, paint can I found on Amazon. I measured my patterned paper to slip inside and secured with clear tape. The Porch Posie Doodle Pop sticker is front and center as well as the Hip Hip Hooray sentiment from odds and ends. I tied several coordinating ribbons on either side of the handle and the Love die cut tied with twine on one side. The lid is embelished similarly.
Lastly, and probaby my favorite of the three boxes is this simple little wagon. For some reason wagons remind me of hometown parades and seem to fit for July 4th festivities! It’s a digital cut file I found at the Silhouette store here. The double flags were the perfect finishing touch.
This was such a fun little set to put together.
I hope you enjoy your fun Fourth of July activities, and of course your creative paper crafting endeavors!
