Fourth of July open treat box

Here's a wonderful project for the 4th. 

I'm telling you, if you do not have the Top Note die yet, what are you waiting for?  I can make the greatest projects using it! 
I try not to overuse it, but it's a persistant thing! It keeps jumping up & into my hands saying, 'Pick me, pick me - I'll make it easy & awesome.'

I cased this from someone & cannot find it again - if it was you, please let me know so I can give credit to you!

We adhered quarter sized pieces of Real Red card stock to pieces of thin card board (again, my favorite is the 12" piece included in your DSP packages) using a glue stick.  Then you run them through your Big Shot or Cuttlebug.  Run a smaller piece of Navy on one corner & a strip of White in the center on the other side & you have your extra pieces. 
We punched out a white star using the large star punch.

To make the box, cut a piece of Real Red card stock measuring 6" X 5 1/2".  Score it on the 6" side at 2 1/2" & 3 1/2". 
Score it on the 5 1/2" side at 1" from both ends.
Cut up to the 1" score line on the middle score lines.  Fold & adhere the ends together to form an open box.

Adhere a Top Note piece to each side of the box.
I added a cello bag filled with candy inside & a 'Celebrate' tag using the Celebrate Everything stamp set stamped in White craft ink.
The star from the Wanted stamp set was inked in Real Red ink, stamped on white card stock & punched out using the Star punch.
A silver brad was added & the whole thing was tied using our hemp twine & Real Red grosgrain ribbon.
