Trendy Bakers Twine~Valentine's Milk Carton

Good morning! I'm on the Trendy Twine blog today with a fun treat packaging idea for Valentine's Day.  It is a skinny milk carton box that holds a mini M&M container.  Fun, right?!  It features Pink Midnight Trendy Twine.

I started by creating my own patterned paper with pink cardstock and using the entire APB You & Me stamp set.  I used my stamp platform so once the stamps were arranged, I simply shifted my paper over to reink and stamp again.  Easy peasy!  I love how the stamped images continue from one panel to the next.  I followed a tutorial from The Paper Pixie to assemble the carton.  It fit the 1.08 oz. tubes perfectly!  Before gluing the pink paper onto the carton, I adhered many Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems everywhere.  Pink and sparkles...yes, please!

I wrapped Pink Midnight Trendy Twine around the lower part of the box three times, and added a Petite Kraft Metal Rim Tag that had been stamped with the "To:'' from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set.  To close the top of the carton, I simply added a sweet Mini Wooden Clothespin that I had wrapped with a double bow of Pink Midnight Trendy Twine.  Valentine's Day treat complete!

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
