When I hold my monthly in person stamping classes in my home in Mesa, Arizona, I love to give each stamper a fun treat packet.
This month, I created these cute little Boo! treat packets as my gift to them. I used the Alphabet A’ La Mode Dies. The dies let you spell any sentiment you want. And, once upon a time, Stampin’ Up! sold the clear boxes that measure about 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. I found some extras in my stash and decided to create something fun for Halloween. And, I filled them with Reese’s Peanut Butter ghosts!
These DIY treat boxes are perfect for those special trick or treaters, kids, nieces, nephews, and grandkids, too!
If you don’t have access to these clear boxes, the current Scalloped Gift Card Boxes would work, as well.
Alphabet A’ La Mode for Halloween Treat Box
Here are a few details and measurements to help you get started:
Alphabet A’ La Mode Dies with Granny Apply Green, Pumpkin Pie, and Gorgeous Grape card stock. Tip: Apply Adhesive Sheets to the back of the card stock before die cutting. I die cut all the pieces and then mixed and matched the letters.
Basic Black card stock die cut with circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used both Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie.
Gems: The Gorgeous Grape gems from the Glossy Dots Assortment work, as do the Granny Apple Green gems from the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs.
I hope you enjoy these cute little Halloween treat boxes. I know my stampers appreciated them this month.
