This will be my grandson's first Halloween (he was born in July), and I'm so excited to see him in his sweet pea costume! It will be so fun to have a trick-or-treater this year. We live in a very rural area and haven't had any trick-or-treaters since we built our house in 2015. We used to live in a big subdivision with literally hundreds of trick-or-treaters, so it was a big change for us!
The idea for this treat box came from Sabine Harris in the Silhouette Card Making & Paper Crafts FB group I'm part of. She created the cut file for this adorable box, and I just resized it a bit and chose some fun Halloween papers to use. I did a print and cut of a spider and chose a couple different fonts as well as changing the orientation on the box for the second version. I like the dangly spider on the card on the left but prefer the font I used on the card on the right. Both will be filled with Hershey's nugget candies for my son and daughter-in-law as Sawyer is at the perfect age to bring in the candy for them and not compete with them for it😄!

DeleteLove the candy boxes and the slider to open them, and of course who wouldn't love the nuggets inside. Adorable and fun treat boxes. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, such adorable candy boxes for Sawyer's first Halloween! Love the papers you chose and that cfute little spider!! Thanks for the tip about Sabine's FB group, too. We at Double Trouble love to see creativity like yours that includes not only the challenge Twister Sister comes up with, and Trouble Maker's theme, too!!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for playing in The Outlawz Crash your Stash Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Carrie! I'm not in a rural area, but we live on a street that the trick-or-treaters have never found yet. The most we've ever gotten is 6! So we usually abandon ship and go to our son's house to see the grandkids' costumes and spend the evening there. I hope your son and daughter-in-law will save this wonderful keepsake for Sawyer. Thank you for sharing it with us at Two Old Bats! Xoxo, Fran/DT
