For my 3D project, I decided to use the Milk Carton big shot die, new owl and 2 3/8" scallop circle punches.  The milk carton was cut out of the ultra thin birch wood sheets sold by Stampin' Up! (#116309).  I thought it was the perfect fit for Mr. Owl. 

Before assembling the milk carton, I stamped in Early Espresso with my Woodgrain background stamp.  Cute texture, don't you think?

I then punched out Mr. Owl in Early Espresso card stock and created a cute little "vest" in Tempting Turquoise printed designer paper.

A small paper polka-dotted lollipop peeks out of the mini carton for a bit of whimsy.

Great project. I would have never guessed the milk carton die would work with the wood, but it sure does. Love the owl on the front!
