******************************************************************

Step 1
Cut Basic Black cardstock to 6x12 and two strips of 1 1/4 x 12.

 

Step 2
Use Big Shot to cut Fancy Favor Box and two of the scallop trims from the Tasteful Trim Die

 

Step 3
Cut scallop trim into 4 scallop lengths for a total of 5.  Sponge scallop edge with White Craft Ink.

 

Step 4
Starting at bottom, adhere scallop strips to front of back.  They will overlap the sides.

 

Step 5
Trim off the excess scallops from the side of Fancy Favor Box and adhere Fancy Favor box together with Sticky Strip.

 

Step 6
Squeeze top together and pierce two holes through all layers.  Place two Black Mini Brads to hold box closed.

 

  
Step 7
Cut 3 1/4 square of Basic Black cardstock, score in half diagonally.  Cut off one tip and add Daffodil Delight 1” square for beak.   (White owl has black beak.)

 

Step 8
Punch 1 3/4 Basic Black, 1 3/8 Daffodil Delight and 3/4 Basic Black for layers of eyes.  (White owl is 1 3/4 Daffodil Delight and 1 3/8 Basic Black)

 

 
Step 9
Place eyes on back of 3 1/4 square.  Add Sticky Strip on back of beak.  Adhere square to front of Fancy Favor Box.

 

Step 10
Flap is only adhered on the front.  Back lifts up so that Mini Brads can be opened to get into Fancy Favor Box. 

 

Step 11
Adhere only the back tip with temporary adhesive so it lays flat.
