Stampin' Dreams Halloween Blog Hop

Halloween isn't a real bit thing in my neighborhood, but I usually do something with my daughter for her to take to school for treats. In the past I have even baked items, but with the year of 2020 I'm going for pre-sealed sweeties for this years treats.

I found that Freddo Frogs fit perfectly into the Little Treat Box Dies, so all that was need was to add a Halloween theme to the treat box and they would be done! Well, I couldn't leave it at just that, my mind was working overtime (I tend to get creative in the evenings, before I knew it, it was 11pm), I made a couple of variations with the spider theme - the Metallic Mesh Ribbon looks great as cob webs!

Now the details, the purple treat holder is the stock standard treat box made with the die, all I did was stamp the sentiment and spiders, then put it together - its really kewl, as you don't need to use any adhesive. There are little slots the fold into each other and hold it together all by itself, fold the sides up and tie with ribbon, that's it, done!

Now for the second project, I wanted to fit skittles into this one, so I made it a custom fit. I started with the treat die, and then made a box to fit onto the bottom, it was a definite work in progress at that time of the night...... or was it morning by then..... what started out as a pull out box, ended up as a lid.

I heat embossed the sentiment with both silver and white to give a rustic ghostly feel, doing everything you wouldn't normally do with embossing powder to put some "grunge" on the box, finger prints everywhere, rubbed my little fingers all over the place lol.

Now to hold the lid down with some cobwebs...aka Metallic Mesh Ribbon, to open all you need to do is undo the bow.

Lastly I die cut spiders, adhering Gorgeous Grape or Pumpkin Pie under the black, and putting on the box. I'm really happy with the finished treat holder.
