Today I am sharing these adorable little birdhouse treat boxes. I designed these for my Easter/Spring all-day Adult Education event on Sunday 25th March and decided to make the ladies one each as a table gift. They are just big enough to hold a crème egg ……yummy. I made them in a variety of spring colours.

I started with a piece of cardstock 6½” by 5¾”. Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored on the 6½” side at 1½”, 3”, 4½”, and 6” and on the 5¾” side at 1½”, 3¾”, and 5¼”. I folded and burnished on all the score lines.

I ran the panel through the Big Shot again using the scalloped die from the Apron Builder Framelit dies on either end.

I folded on the score lines and placed it over the top of the box and again used the mini clothespin to hold it in position.
Using the Petals & More Dies I die cut the branch using green cardstock and added it to the front of the birdhouse with Tombow.
