Happy Fall Y'all Treat Boxes

October has been such a fun month—thankfully, it isn’t over yet!

With Halloween in just a few days, we thought we’d share some Harvest-themed projects for your enjoyment; projects that feature the one-of-a-kind Pink & Main products! I just have to say; we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Michelle and her team of amazing crafters (some of which are on our team as well!). They have made this blog hop a winner already! Then to see the variety of projects everyone created…I can’t wait to hear what you think!

So, without any further delay, please take a look at what our designers and what they have created for your enjoyment and inspiration. Once you get back to our blog, please leave us a comment below on what you enjoyed most (design, product, both), and you’ll be in the running for a giveaway! 3 people will be chosen at random to win a free Christmas stack!

Mixed Media Paper

I started my project by stamping multiple images onto mixed media paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Then, I outlined my image with my image also adding in shading with just short flicking strokes. then I took a water brush and activated the the ink with water and blended out the color.

I trimmed down my sheet to fit int my die cut machine, then used my (not yet to be release) Stitched Circle Dies from Pink and Main, to cut out my colored images.

I also die cut some scalloped Circles to layer my crows onto. This beautiful green polka dot paper if from DCWV's Autumn Leaves Stack.

I ran my stitched circle through my 3" Xyron Sticker Maker, and layered it onto a scalloped circle die cut.

Using more coordinating paper from the Autumn Stack, I cut out multiple treat boxes and folded along the seams. Then applied adhesive onto the flaps and adhered and assemble my treat boxes together.

Then I die cut out little banners from scraps from my mixed media paper and Onyx Black ink I used earlier. Then I stamped "Happy Fall Y'all" onto each banner.

The awesome thing about these being clear stamps ... I can see where I'm stamping AND I can bend and manipulate the shape of this die. Notice how I was able to slightly bend my words and follow the curve of the banners.

Once the ink was dried on the banners, I attached them to the front of each box.

Then attached my scallop circles to the back panel with the handle.

Then finally, I added twine bow offset to one side and filled my carrier box with candy.
