Haunted Halloween Humble Home Book Pull Out Treat Box

 

Oh wow......this is such a cute little Halloween Treat Box!

 I love the way it turned out!

This is one of the projects that everyone will be making 
at my upcoming Halloween Classes.
 
I used the 
#164048- Book Treat Boxes= $10.00
 * 10 stampable boxes
* Folded box size: 3" x 4" x 1" (7.6 x 10.2 x 2.5 cm)
* Food safe
*Tear & Tape is already applied.
*Just fold on scored lines & put together quickly
*Decorate the top
Here is how I made my pull out treat box!
 As I modified my box so that it is a drawer pulls out.
This is the inside of the box cover. 
The Tear & Tape adhesive strips are already on it for you.
I added a 3 x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock over the Tear & Tape strips.
Now close the box lid, peel off the Tear & Tape on the "tab"
& adhere this to the box top as I have noted in the photo above.
Now adhere a 3 x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock onto the box top.
NOTE:  This is what the box looks like when it is stuck shut 
by adhering the 'tab' to the box top,
before you adhere the Basic Black cardstock over the top of it.
This is what the 'box' now looks like.
It is open on both ends so that I can add the 'drawer' to it 
& it will pull out!
The box looks like this from the side when the front is decorated.
This is what it looks like when the pull out "drawer" is slid into the box.
So what do you think?
Neat huh!
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp sets:  'Playful Ghosts' (words); 'Humble Home' (house)
card stock:
  • Basic Black- 3 x 4"
  • Basic Black- 3 x 4"
  • Basic Black- 1/2 x 3/4" (door)

ink:  Memento
other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; So Swirly Embossing Folder; Frosted Forest Dies; Humble Home Punch; Trucking Along Builder Punch; 2 3/8" Circle Punch; Basic Rhinestones; Black Dimensionals

OR 
when you emboss it & then sand it- the white shows through.
You can find the Two-Toned Garden Green card stock in the 
 How did I do it?

Check out this CUTE SPOOKY BOX!
I used the 
 
I used some of these stickers in this scrapbooking kit to decorate my box lid,
along with a 4 3/4 x 5 3/4" pieces of this stripped DSP.
How did I do it?
 The finished box measures- 5 x 6".  
Here is the patterns I used to make the box bottom & top.
Box Top= 7 x 8"- score at 1" on all 4 sides.
Box Bottom= 7 x 8"- score at 1 1/16" on all 4 sides.
NOTICE that you want your box bottom just a tiny bit 
smaller than the top so that the lid will fit on.
The box is big enough to hold candy, cards, or any other little gift of your choice.
What would you put in your box?
 
I can't wait to make some more of these boxes to add some cards
inside it & use at gifts.
