I LOVE creating Halloween treats (shocker, I know!) Sometimes though I try and get away from the "cute" and make something for the "grown up" (or as I like to say, the unknown....) For example, for Adam's secretaries, I would make these boxes filled with homemade cookies or some sort of homemade treat.
Aren't these boxes super duper cute!?!? I love them! The box is 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.5, so a decent size....fun, eh? Each of the side black panels are 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 and then the DSP is 3 x 2. The top pieces are 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and 3 x 3. I embossed the top Old Olive card stock with the spider web embossing folder and then used the Charcoal ink from the distressing kit on the web.
The flowers are made using the 5 petal hand punch (four of these) and then the medium sized flower from the Fun Flowers Big Shot die. The middle of the flower is made with the scallop circle hand punch. I cut it like you'd peel an apple core and then wound it around a pair of tweezers (thanks Sundee!) I am really happy wiht my flower!
Then of course the ribbon was the 1 1/4 inch striped grosgrain and I cut it in half length wise to be a little "frayie" and more "Halloweenie" (yes, they are both words!). The greeting is from Delightful Dozen (my current favourite word stamp set!)
Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's post and don't forget to check out today's MDS downloads (super fun!!!!) AND of course don't forget to do the new updates as well!!!!
Have a great day!
Take care,
Heather

Totally LOVE this. Are they the treat boxes? And I'm thinking that filling them with some cookies made with the new cookie stamp (yup I got mine!) would be AWESOME! Thanks for the inspiration - super cool as always! :)
