Hello, and HAPPY AUGUST!!! Ok, I am really hoping for a nice, normal, calm August. That being said, our family is going through some serious trials, so prayers would TOTALLY be appreciated! One thing that I am looking forward is spending more time back in my stamp room, creating for y'all - as in some NEW CLASSES!!! Woot Woot! I am sneaking in at the last minute with the We Create Blog Hop - to share some fun "Snacks & Beverages" ideas!!!
Well, I got the "snacks" part done...but this new Little Treats Bundle from Stampin' Up! is SO inspiring, I might just keep creating with it today to make MORE treats and drink treats!!!
To start off with, I went with the first one to pop in my head - Halloween! Not sure why, because it's 113 degrees here right now! LOL!!! Maybe because it's because of these cool, snack size packs of "Zombie" Skittles that I found...(you will have to fold in the sides of the little bag to keep them from sticking out the top)
Want to know how to make it?
- Die cut one of the boxes from the Little Treat Box Dies (8 1/2" x 5" Smoky Slate Cardstock)
- Use the scrap and cut one extra "front" or the box.
- Emboss the "front" with the new Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder.
- Highlight the cobweb by dragging a White Craft Ink pad lightly over the embossed image.
- Punch Banner using the Banners Pick a Punch in a 3/4" strip of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock. Stamp sentiment in Versamark Ink and heat emboss in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Trim to size, and adhere to the bottom corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Create the little flags by coloring direct on the stamp with Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black Markers, and trim. If you don't have the markers, you can always stamp two of the flag banners, one in each color and layer them after trimming. Adhere to the embossed front.
- Die cut the little spider in the Little Treat Box dies from a scrap piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Highlight with Wink of Stella and adhere to the embossed front.
- Embellish the front with small Rhinestones.
- Adhere the embossed box front to the box using the Liquid Multipurpose Glue. Fold up the sides of the box, and insert your treat!
- To tie the box shut, cut a length of Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon. Make it custom by coloring it in with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend. Thread through the hole in the top of the box.Tie a length of the ADORABLE Black and White Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack in a bow around the Granny Apple Ribbon!
Now that you know how to make it, here is a complete supply list of all of the products that I used. A good majority of the products will be available on August 4th. Sorry that I am making you wait a few days, but at least you'll have your wish list ready!!!

I love your Halloween box. The gray makes the web easy to see and the green and purple are perfect for Halloween. The banner and spider just make it more fun with the cute bow and twine to top it off. We could do a mean Halloween party together Fun Times!
