Here is how I trimmed it. I cut a slit up to the first line on the score line that is to the right. I then snipped a slight angle off on both sides of the corner. Then I turned the piece a quarter turn to the right and repeated this process. I did for all four sides. I also trimmed just a bit off of each corner. This way it will fold up much easier and remain flush.
Once all the cutting was done, I added adhesive to the opposite side of the cut flaps. See photo. Notice the tabs are bent forward. You can see the adhesive and the way I cut them at an angle.
I then layered a white home onto a kraft cardstock home. The only reason I did this is so that looking at the finished box from the back side will make this seem much more cohesive.
Here I am coloring the bird houses.
Here's a view of the box once it is assembled. It does fit the lollipop pretty good. It is a tootsie roll lollipop.
Here is where I added mats to 3 of the sides. There are just 1" mats.
Here's a look as I was assembling the die pieces to create the adorable Bunny Cottage. Once I finished, I glued it to the front of the box.
Here is the finished Lollibox. I added the "tree and sign" from the Spring Chicken die set. The top of the tree is from the Carrot House die. I cut it out in some cute Doodlebug patterned paper.
Here's a closer look at the Pink Home. I put a sweet little brown bunny in this one. I added some dew drops to the top left corner of each card. Just for a little something extra~
Here's a closer look at the Purple Home. I went with a gray bunny here.
Here is a closeup of the card with the Yellow home. I did another little brown bunny here.
Here is one last look at the cards and the Lolli box. I think this set turned out very nice.
