Jaded Blossom Guest Designer-Treat Box

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday.  I hope you all have a great week!

I'm here today to share my final project as a Guest Designer for Jaded Blossom.

I just want to thank Candace and Michelle for giving me the opportunity to share my creativity using their awesome stamps this month.  Thanks ladies I had a fabulous time working with you all!

Since my other project was a card I decided to share a treat box.  I am actually making a few of these for a customer.  She's trying to get a head start on Halloween but wanted to see one made first :)

I used the Monster Mash stamp set, Clear Boxes and Flag Die.

Spellbinders Nestabilities Small Circle and Small Scallop Circle were used.  The cute Pumpkin comes from Designs On Cloud 9 Spooky Cakes and I finished it off with a small amount of Halloween Twine from Trendy Twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out Jaded Blossom to see all the stamps, packaging and dies.

Have a fabulous crafty day!
