Party Favors From Outer Space

Hello!  It has been awhile since I have made a box or little party favor.  I thought that the Trinity Stamps Milky Way Stamp Set would be adorable on their Milk Carton.  Gosh, this would be so cute for a little person's Birthday Party.

To start this project, I inked a 6" x 6" piece of white cardstock with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. In order to be able to cut out my four square pieces for the carton sides, with the ink gradation, I inked the Blueprint Sketch on the upper and lower edges of the cardstock.  

Rather than spatter or speckle the inked piece, I used the Starfield Letter Press Plate with Silver Glimmer Foil.  Once I had my piece foiled, I used the Milk Carton Dies to cut out my panels.  

I used the Milk Carton Die to cut two pieces of black cardstock.  I applied double sided tape on the tabs that extend out from the left side of the die cut piece.  The die, place embossed lines where you need to fold the piece to be able to construct the carton.  Before I assemble the carton, I find that it is easier to apply the inked panels first. I have linked my YouTube video below for a more detailed process. 

My images are stamped from the Milky Way Stamp Set and cut out with the coordinating dies.  I colored them in with Copic markers in the following colors:

• B0000, B01, B14, B18
• Y02, Y08, Y19
• YR02, YR09, YR18

Once I have my images colored and cut out, I adhered a cow and a sign to the front and the back of the assembled carton.  I felt like I still needed something for the sides and the front and back tops, so I went back to the die set and stamped some more images, colored them and cut them out.  That was just right!!!

Once I had my cartons constructed and decorated, I used a paper punch to punch the center top tabs.  I cut a piece of yellow gingham ribbon to tie them together.  I was hoping that I had a black and white gingham ribbon, but no such luck.

These were so much fun to create!  I think that I just might give them to the little kids next door.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
