sweet treats

   This is the second item I made to send to my daughters. It is two Big Shot Boxes adhered together, covered with cardstock and designer paper and embellished. This is just another way to use the Box #2 die cut and it is so clever. I did not come up with this idea of putting the 2 boxes together. The rest of the project is my own though!

    All you do is cut 2 boxes from cardstock and cut off the side flaps from each box. Do not cut off the lid. Fold in the sides and bottom but not the lid. The lid is the part that creates the handle. Once the 2 boxes are adhered back to back, an oval is punched into the handle. That's it!

   I stamped the pumpkins from Autumn Harvest stamp set on shimmery white cardstock and watercolored them with an aquapainter and reinkers. These were then cut out and applied to the front of the box. The little sweet treats tag was stamped first with the little flourish stamp from Framed with Love and then "sweet treats" was stamped over that. Guess where the saying "sweet treats" came from??  Yep - Teeny Tiny Wishes - the most versatile stamp set in the catalog. IMHO!

   I used the Big Shot sizzlet called Lots of Tags for the black mat on my sweet treats saying. And then I added a  little flower from Flower Fusions, along with a brad, to the front of the tag.

   I didn't take a picture of this filled with candy but I was surprised at how much it held because there are 2 compartments for the treats.
