Directions: 1. Prepare your tote using one of the methods suggested on the
handout “Using Your Exclusive PCL Templates” 2. If you are using the PDF template as either a pattern or a
template and you do NOT have an electronic die cutting machine then punch a circle on the top and bottom oval pieces where shown, using a 1 ¼” circle punch.
3. Position your tote piece so that the outside of the tote is facing upwards. Fold along the score lines using a bone folder to achieve a nice crisp crease. Apply red liner tape to the small flaps as shown in the photo to the right.
4. Stick your 1 ½” x 12” piece of patterned paper to the outside of the tote front so that it is about ⅝” up from the bottom score line, using double-‐sided adhesive. Trim the overhanging edges following along the curve of the tote front. Repeat on the outside of the tote back using your remnant patterned paper strip.
5. Take the Egg-‐cellent Easter sentiment from the “For Peep’s Sake” stamp set and mask off the Easter eggs using a piece of tape cut to fit.
6. Ink the stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, remove the tape, and then working quickly, color the eggs, each a different color, using a Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding Stampin’ Write Marker.
7. Gently huff on the inked side of the stamp to re-‐moisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment onto the 2 ⅛” x 2 ⅞” piece of Whisper White cardstock, using a Stamp-‐a-‐ma-‐jig if necessary.

8. Using your Stampin’ Trimmer, trim the left and right edges of your Whisper White sentiment piece so that there is about ⅛” white space between the sentiment and the left and right edges.
9. Using a fine-‐tipped pair of scissors, trim the top and bottom of the sentiment piece, following the lines of the scroll. 10. Add a small rhinestone just underneath the center area of each of the scrolls on the sentiment piece. 11. Center and stick the sentiment piece to the tote front using dimensional foam. 12. Remove the backing from the red liner tape on one of the small flaps (i.e. side panels) and stick it to the inside of the
tote front – making sure that as you fold the flap upwards, you align the top corner of the flap just to the inside edge of the tote front. Note that the side flap will be stuck to the inside of the panel on an angle.
13. Repeat for the remaining four flaps. 14. Fill with treats. You’re done!
