TEN DAYS OF HALLOWEEN- DAY 8 GHIRARDELLI SQUARES TREAT BOX

 

It's DAY 8 of my TEN DAYS OF HALLOWEEN SERIES and I'm changing things up a bit.  I'm adding a little PUNCH ART to make a cute fall treat.  The treat in this box is a new fall favorite for me.  MILK CHOCOLATE CARAMEL APPLE SQUARES. Yummy!!  These treats are easy to find at any grocery store.

For this project, I used the GINGHAM COTTAGE DSP PACK and a sentiment from the SCARY CUTE STAMP SET.

To create the box, start with a piece of the GINGHAM COTTAGE DSP, cut at 6-3/4in by 4-1/2in.  The template below shows how the treat box should look after folding, creasing and cutting away the excess DSP.

Before putting the box together, create a thumb notch on one short end.  This will be your lid.  Apply TOMBOW to all of the flaps and adhere them to the side panels.

For the embellishments on top, punch out three CALYPSO CORAL ovals using the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH.  This is such a great punch to have in your stash.

Using the CALYSO CORAL INK PAD, dab some ink on the edges of all three ovals.  Then using TOMBOW, glue them together as shown above.  For the stem, cut a small triangle out of PARAKEET PARTY CARDSTOCK and attach it to the top of the center oval.  Place the pumpkin on the top of the box using DIMENSIONALS.

For the sentiment, cut a 3/4in strip of BASIC WHITE CARDSTOCK and stamp the TRICK OR TREAT sentiment using BLACK MEMENTO INK.  Flag the right end and place it on the lid as shown using DIMENSIONALS.  Finally, using the LINEN THREAD, tie a double bow and place it on the box under the sentiment strip using a GLUE DOT.
