Well....for this weekend ONLY, starting this Friday 10/25/2013 @ 12:01am PST  thru Sunday 10/27/2013 @ 11:59pm PST you can use the code OCT2013 to get 20% off your entire order in Emma's store HERE!  Remember she told you about making a "Teeny Tag Holiday" stamp set? WELL....wait no longer, it will be available this Friday, 10/25/2013  in her store HERE!


Today I have a fun little treat box that I made for my son for Halloween.  He's not a big sweets fan, so I made it just big enough for a gift card and a little bit of candy.


To make the box, I used the MCT Scallop Stitched Envelope Die.  I cut the envelope shape twice, out of some fun spider paper from the My Mind's Eye Haunted collection.  Then, with the piece shown on the left, I trimmed the two side pieces down to 1/2" and added an extra score line on the top section, 1/2" above the original score line.  With the piece on the right, I did the same to the side pieces and also trimmed off the entire top piece.  Then I folded on the score lines and adhered the sides and bottom sections of the two pieces together to form the box.  I was inspired to make a box with this die by my design team buddy Veronica, who made an adorable larger sized box.


I used a few tiny glue dots to keep the lid closed, but it still opens without tearing it.  To decorate the front, I used lots of fun My Creative Time dies with my favorite My Mind's Eye Mischievous paper.  The cute witch, from Fright Night, is stamped on a little index card made with the Stitched File Folder & Index Card.  I colored the moon with a Copic marker.  "A treat just for you" is also from Fright Night, stamped on a banner made with the Vintage Stitched Label Dies.  Finally, I used my favorite Teeny Tag Layering Dies to hold a sentiment from the brand new Teeny Tag Holidays stamp set, which will be available this Friday!


Inside I tucked a couple of little Kit-Kat bars, along with an iTunes card.  I used a craft knife to cut slits in a card made with the Stitched Journal Die to hold an iTunes card.  Perfect little treat for the non-candy lover!
