Halloween Treat Boxes for the Little Monsters

If you're faced with the dilemma of dozens of treat bags/boxes to make in a few hours, this is the project for you. The box on the right is cut from Bo Bunny printed Halloween card stock using the Sizzix box w/handles Pro machine die. The front panel is just one of the rectangles cut from another sheet of Bo Bunny cardstock (there are about a dozen assorted design rectangles to a sheet). Googly eyes were added and the box assemble with a few strips of Merikan tape and it was done. The other box is a little more work (because of the coloring) but it was made to hold Halloween treats for a special dog friend. I learned that when you cut plaids with a die you should line up the paper so that the lines will not be tilting in the finished product (like mine). The stamp I used for the dog is from an Inkadinkado Halloween clear stamp set and the printed acetate skulls and bones are last year's Martha Stewart embellishments. (If you like something from the MS Halloween line, you need to get it this year because it most probably will not be available next year.) My sick sense of humor thought that the bones and skulls were funny to pair with the dog treat box. If you die cut treat containers (Ben Franklin Crafts lets you use their machine for free if you buy the paper) your work will be done in minutes and then you can have fun embellishing. Your little monster friends will love the treats and be thrilled to receive such a pretty gift.
