Mini Paper Pumpkin Treat Boxes

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're all having a great day today!  I've been enjoying what may be our last few days of summer with my kids - taking the dog on walk, going to a friend's pool, riding our bikes thru the neighborhood and even getting away to the beach for a few days :).  I can't believe the kids may actually go back to school in a little over a week!  I'm not sure they can believe it either!  In the meantime, we're doing everything we can to soak up the last days of summer!  It's been so much fun :).  Are you trying to do the same??  What are you doing to take in the last days of summer??


And....  I wanted to share a fun treat box idea with you today......

These are this month's club member treats, and I just LOVE them!!

We actually made a card like this at last month's Simple, Beautiful Card Class.  This card was a swap I received from Cara Payzant, and I absolutely loved it!!  So, of course, we had to make it at class!

Then, because I couldn't stop admiring the card, I decided to use the layout to decorate these treat boxes, too!

These are the new Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes.

To decorate the box, first we added a piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the top of the box.

Next, we punched the ends of a piece of Flowers for Every Season DSP with our Banner Triple Punch and added this piece to the top of the box.

Then, we stamped "You are my Sunshine" in Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock using the Ridiculously Awesome Stamp Set and die-cut it with the Stitched Nested Dies.  We added the sentiment to the box with Dimensionals.

Finally, we punched two Bumblebee Daisies with the Daisy Punch, added a couple of Rhinestones to the sentiment and tied a Misty Moonlight Ribbon knot and added it to the box.

So cute!!!!!

One of the great things about these Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes is that they hold our Notecards and Envelopes perfectly inside.

I put one Notecard and Envelope inside each box so that they could see how great they fit!

And... I thought a fun idea might be to give these Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes as Holiday gifts this year.... Just decorate the outside of the box and then add 4 or 5 coordinatingly decorated Notecards and Envelopes!!  How fun would that be!!


I hope you enjoyed this fun treat box idea!!


And.... I hope you were Inkspired today :).
