Easter Favor - Carrot Box Tutorial

My friend shared with me a project she made from Stampin Up. It was a cute little carrot box. I loved it...

Then thought I would give this box another try with a little different look. I found some orange-ish paper in my stash. I printed out the carrot box template that I found at THIS LINK. My carrots are not as big - I printed two on one 8 1/2 x 11 page.

I had some butterfly orange - ish paper and I also had some orange paper that I stamped some flourishes on. I forgot to take pictures of that - oops. Remember my shamrock? I stamped the cut out carrot like that using a brown and a red. After stamping I scored the lines, folded and hot glued the carrot together.

Here is the carrot I stamped flourished with. 

Here is the butterfly paper one. I inked the edges of both with brown ink.

I changed up the top by cutting off one of the flaps - gluing it to the other and folding it down because I wanted the box to be easily accessible. I also punched a hold and inserted some raffia....

and then I tied a knot in the raffia and hot glued that knot secure.

So there is my spin on the Stampin' Up Carrot Box.
