Twick or Tweet Treat Box
Posted: Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 | Comments
This adorable treat holder is actually ‘no more’ as I type. I left it on my stamping table and looks like some kids got into it. My own kids know better, so I’m thinking neighbor kids…
Anyway, good thing I have a photo and it was super easy to make anyway!
The body of the box is the ‘Bag With Scallops’ (#114519) Sizzix XL Die without the sides attached and decorated with the Halloween designer paper ‘Cast a Spell’ (#115677). It takes very little designer paper to dress this up and our Scalloped circle punch (#109043) fits nicely on top of the fold over scalloped flap.
The ghosts are from the Holiday Mini Catalog set ‘Twick or Tweet’ (#116497) and just outlined in Sahara Sand marker.
The Scalloped Oval punch (#114889) fits nicely into the Wide Oval punch (#112082), don’t you think? So well that three of my six projects last week for my Stamp a Stack used those two punches requiring me to order another pair of them. Although everyone shared nicely I am happy to report!
