Halloween Chocolate filled Witch's Hat Treat Triangle Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very Happy Halloween to you. 

Here is the last of my Halloween projects for this year. I saw a similar project over on Julie Davison's blog. I loved the simplicity of creating a triangle box and then embellishing to create the witch's hat.

I used a Basic Black card base to create the hat and add on rim (following the pdf instructions on Julie's blog). I then used a scrap of Flower Pot Designer Series Paper left on my desk from  my Curvy Keepsake Pumpkins to create the band. The buckle was created with a scrap of Under the Tree Speciality DSP punched with my Curly Label Punch (any contrasting Halloweeny coloured card or paper would work for the band and buckle).

I did add a little extra embellishment with the little Itty Bitty Accent flower. I wanted my witch to be a friendly one so thought she'd wear flowers in her hat for some reason. I guess when you are making for a 2 year old who suffers with nightmares you don't want to create anything with too scary connotations ;0)

The hat is filled with these little chocolate pumpkins. That'll be Summer's special Friday night treat later.

Floral Frames Treat Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and  welcome to another crafty week here at Stampin' Sarah! Sorry for the day late blog post but, excitingly, I have signed up with another direct sales company over the weekend to run alongside my Stampin' Up! business. I have been busily getting everything together for my new venture. But more about that later. Back to today's crafty share.

I had seen these beautiful little rose treat holders somewhere in the blogosphere. I fell in love with them. But the description only said they were made with the Floral Frames Framelits with no instructions. So after a few frustrating attempts at working out how these are made I came up with these picture instructions to help you create these for yourself. They are perfect for fitting one of these lovely (and addictive) Lindor Chocolates in.

I have used the largest two Floral Frames Framelits to make the layered boxes and then the next size down (with the rounded petals) for the base.

These are the component parts you will need to make your rose treat holder:

This is how the flowers need to be scored (you need to do this with both floral die cuts). I have also inked and curled the edges (as shown in the pictures) in a contrasting colour to give that edged rose effect.

You then need to fold the tabbed (uninked) bits inside to create two little boxes as below. 

I have then layered 4 Dimensionals on top of one another on the bottom of the smallest box (to raise it up and give the layered petals of a rose) and stuck this inside the larger box. You can then stick both boxes on to your inked green floral base.

Here is the finished rose box made with Daffodil Delight, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding cardstock.

Here are my two sample boxes together (the other one is made from two layers of Rose Red cardstock with a Garden Green base.

These are super simple and effective to make. If you have any questions or if the pictures aren't clear at all, please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll happily answer your questions ;0)
