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.
