Fall Treat Boxes with my favorite new paper collection!

Howdy friends! The week is almost over! Happy Thursday and here's hoping you had a great week! The weekend is in sight now! I have been scurrying around trying to make all the Fall ideas that I have in my head. SO many ideas, SO little time! I absolutely love this time of year, and it just goes by so quickly. I love to make treat boxes, and cards with leaves on them, and use Autumn colors….

Today I'm sharing some treat boxes I made with the amazing Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box die. It's been on my desk for a few weeks and I stayed up late Tuesday night making these so I could share with you. I also used my new very FAVORITE paper collection. It's from Doodlebug and it's called Flea Market. Okay, so don't tell anyone (just you guys) that I bought three packs of the paper and ALLLLLLLL the embellishments that go with this one!!! SO dang adorable. Pretty much everything from Doodlebug lately is the bomb. Sigh. 

Okay, so back to my project for today…. I used woodgrain paper that I bought at my local stamp store to make the base of the boxes. I ran into a bit of a snag… The die does not fit on a 6×6 piece of paper. Hmmmmm. I was going to make the boxes out of the 6×6 paper pad but had to go with plan B. So I made the box bases from the woodgrain and then wrapped the patterned paper around it. In the end, I kind of like this way better! To make one box, you need a sheet of paper 6×11 inches. You will cut two of them and tape them together to form the box. Then the fun part is adding your own decorations and personal touches.  

 

I used some cute Doodlebug mini clothespins to attach a twine bow accent. Then I added a flower sticker! In this shot, you can see the pretty scalloped edge of the top of the box. 

 

 

 

I layered two circles for my main focus. On the white one I stamped my sentiment (from the Lawn Fawn Into the Woods stamp set). I used leaves stickers to accent the words. The little crows are dimensional stickers from the same paper collection. EEEP. 

 

 

 

 

 

The twine box is not wrapped around the handle. I left it loose and attached it with the clothespin to allow for easy access into the box. The box seals without tape at the top, so the recipient can open and close it to get inside. A gift card and a few candies fit perfectly inside! (or just candy LOL)! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! This project is so versatile! I'm thinking Christmas gift cards, Valentine treats…. and on an on. I hope you have found some inspiration!! What are you working on right now? Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon! I'm in a fun blog hop next Wednesday. I will try to blog again before then, but I'm not sure!! XOXO
