It's DAY 7 of my TEN DAYS OF HALLOWEEN SERIES and this project is a fun little treat box for a chocolate cereal bar. I used the COUNT CHOCULA MINI TREATS but you can use this box for many different sweets.
I chose the same products for all my projects. They are shown here. GINGHAM COTTAGE DSP and the SCARY CUTE STAMP SET. I have used different ribbon but I always encourage you to see what you have in your stash.
To create this treat box, start with a piece of PARAKEET PARTY CARDSTOCK measuring 4-3/4in by 5in. On the LONG SIDE, score at 1/2in, 1-1/4in, 2-3/4in and 3-1/2in. On the SHORT SIDE, score at 3/4in. The template below shows how the treat box should look after scoring, creasing and cutting away excess card stock.
Before assembling the box, add DSP to the front panel measuring 1-3/8in by 3-7/8in. Then using a 1-3/8in CIRCLE PUNCH punch a semicircle out of the top of that panel. This is not required but it allows the recipient to get a peek at the treat and to be better able to reach in to pull it out.
Assemble the box by placing TOMBOW on the 1/2in panel and pressing it to the other end of the bow. Fold up the bottom flaps and glue in place.
For the embellishment, start with a 2in BASIC WHITE circle cut using a punch or the LAYERED CIRCLE DIES. On the circle, stamp the Dracula silhouette in PARAKEET PARTY INK and stamp the SAY BOO AND SCARY ON! sentiment on top using BLACK MEMENTO INK. Punch a hole in the top, creating a tag and tie it to the box using PARAKEET PARTY METALLIC WOVEN RIBBON. The video below shows how this box comes together.
