I like to have treats ready for my Stamp Club members when we meet. This month I decorated some Basic Black Fry Boxes with Smoky Slate “tombstones” and Basic Grey owls. A Tangelo Twist banner lets everyone know what’s inside. Here they are decorated and waiting to be filled…
…and here they are full of chocolates. Since the one tombstone says “Death by chocolate” it HAD to be chocolates, right? But really you could put all manner of goodies in these adorable little boxes.
TIP 1: I stamped the sentiments on Tangelo Twist card stock, then cut them into strips. I inserted each end into the back of the Washi Label Punch to cut the ends.
TIP 2: For the owls’ eyes, I used Circle Punches in 1/2″, 1/4″, and 1/8″.

I decorated the water bottles with Happy Haunting DSP belly bands and Tangelo Twist labels cut with the Note Tag Punch.
TIP 3: Attach the belly bands to the bottles before attaching the labels. I use a piece of Tear & Tape at each end of the belly band. If you adhere the labels to the belly bands first, they may not curve correctly around the bottles.
Both of these projects are quick and easy, and would be great for your Halloween gatherings, school classes, and even Trick or Treaters.

We made three cards this month: Halloween, Thanks, and a Christmas easel card. Be sure to check back in the coming days for details on each one.
I can’t seem to remember to take photos during our gatherings – I’m always too busy having fun – but I did get this shot of Caitlin proudly showing off her easel card. Check back to see how we lit the fire in the fireplace!
Here’s what I used for the treat boxes and water bottle labels:
I love hearing from you, and I welcome your questions and comments.
What a great project! Might have to CASE this one! Especially love the little owl peering at everyone
Great projects!! Love the treat boxes! Can’t wait to see how you lit the fire:-)
I am in love with that adorable fireplace easel card! Your daughter is so pretty, too!
Thank you, Sharon, I’m flattered that you think Caitlin is my daughter, but no. She’s one of my wonderful Stamp Club members. And yes, she is very pretty.
I’ll be posting the cards in more detail over the next few days, so be sure to check back!
Adorable projects, Candy!! You are so creative! xo
I think the boxes are spookier without the treats! Lol. Cute!!! Bet your club people loved them!
Hi Candy – I came via Brian’s blog! I am so glad he showcased your creation! I want a Butterfinger right now! I love the little tombstones which are quite appropriate for this treat. I am going to subscribe to your blog for more inspiration as well as to see how the fireplace is lit up! I bet your stamp club has a great time!
Thank you, Chria! I’ve had to force myself not to eat the candies!
I’m so glad you’ve decided to subscribe to my blog, and I hope you enjoy it! Please tell your friends about me.
And yes, we do have a lot of fun at our club gatherings!
Oh, boy! Can’t wait to get mine. They are adorable!
