I created this fun surprise box using the new Stampin’ Up! Hamburger Box die.  I used the Sea Street Designer Paper and coordinating stamp set.  So it’s a summer themed box – perfect for say Red Lobster lovers…

Sea-Street-Hamburger-boxThis is the closed box tied with some ribbon and a little lobster tag on the top.  Just slide the ribbon off to open the box and see the surprise inside.

sea-street-hbox-2I strung a piece of Baker’s Twine from the lid to the base and thread little banner pieces on it punched from the Sea Street Designer Paper.  They are like little nautical flags.  Here is another view

The Hamburger Box is a bit awkward to assemble as the instructions indicate on the die.  Each of the little corners is supposed to get folded in toward the inside of the box.  i found it much easier – to snip one side of the corner and glue the piece to the inside of the box.  I’ll try to get some photos of that to show you the difference.  It was just much easier to assemble and I think it made for a more stable box.

Thanks for stopping in.
