Cutest Cow Tales fold over flap box

 Hello and happy Sunday.  I hope everyone had a great week.  Today, I'm using the Cutest Cows stamp and punch to decorate a fold over flap box I designed to fit 3-4 Cow Tale Minis.  I get mine at my local Dollar Tree but you can find them online.  I think they will also fit Merci chocolates, although, I didn't have any on hand to experiment with. The finished box size is 2 3/4" x 4" x 3/4", any treat that is narrow and shorter than 4" in height should work. If you give this box a try, be sure to share with us over on Facebook in the Group Social.  Also, we would love to know what you found to fit in yours.  You will find the link here: KnT Designs Stampers Group.

 Happy Saturday and welcome back to the blog.  I'm so happy you are here.  I hope you will watch the video replay of how I put this card together over on my YouTube channel.  This week's focus is all about using those stamps you already have in your collection and maybe using them with something new.  You bought them, let's use them and make them new again by adding other items in your collection to make some really cute cards.  Today, we are using some stamps that were actually meant to be throw away pieces to make our "cow spots", along with an older Cutest Cows, newer Perfect Pairs (already on the last chance list) and some newly released dies.  I hope you like this card and how I mashed all these things together for a unique look.  



Measurement & Supplies:
Cow spots from inside pieces in Hearts & Hugs 163659 (but see what you have on hand.)  I like to keep these excess pieces.  You can always put them in a case with other inside red rubber pieces from other stamps just for future use anytime you need them.

Perfect Pairs stamp set 164898 (Last Chance item)
