A sweet box for some sweet gifts

Creating cute boxes and bags doesn't have to mean complicated measurements and fussy cutting, thanks to Stampin' Up!s Big Shot! Here's a fun watermelon box you can create using the Cutie Pie thinlits:

Supplies:

• Paper: Watermelon Wonder (#138334), Cucumber Crush (#138337), Whisper White (#100730) and Basic Black (#121045) Card Stock
• Other: Cutie Pie Thinlits (#138273), Big Shot (#113439), Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (#133787), Tear & Tape Adhesive (#138995), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) White Baker’s Twine (#124262) 

Measurements: 

• Watermelon Wonder: 8.5” x 5.5”, Cucumber Crush: 2~2.75” x 5.5”, Black, White and Cucumber scraps for tag and seeds, Baker’s Twine: 24”

Instructions: 

1. Cut two cutie pie frames from Watermelon Wonder (cut off a little of the back enclosure piece, if necessary to make it fit on the card stock) using the Big Shot. 
2. Cut two of the cutie pie frames on the ENCLOSURE END from the Cucumber Crush at the same time. 
3. Use scallop border to cut off pie-side ends parallel to the fold, about 1” away. Line up end of border with scored fold. You will run the scallop through twice as both sides are not in line. 
4. Die cut a cucumber and white flag tag from the Cutie Pie Framelits, then run cucumber tag through again (twice) to cut out “EAT” and “ME”. It may help to hold word die in place with a post-it note. Adhere cucumber tag to top of white tag. 
5. Adhere cucumber scalloped ends over the matching watermelon shaped end using Liquid Glue. 
6. Apply Tear & Tape adhesive to all the scored “flaps” and assemble box. You will need to cut off one of the watermelon flaps at the point so it doesn’t overlap on the top of box. 
7. Punch 4 hearts using heart punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Pack. Cut each in half for 16 “seeds”. Adhere to top and sides of box with multipurpose glue. (You can punch more if you want to cover all four sides with seeds). 
8. Wrap baker’s twine around watermelon and add tag.
