Little Treat Box Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Hi! Welcome to the monthly Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak Swappers! The theme this month is “Gratitude”! I know I’ve been incredibly blessed throughout my life, so I am filled with gratitude and this theme is quite special to me. You’ve probably just come from the awesome Melissa Davies! I just love her work! Just click on the link below to take you around the entire blog hop for some GREAT inspiration!

BANNER YEAR STITCHED LEAVES

The Stitched Leaves Dies are one of the most gorgeous leaf set dies I’ve ever seen. I love this stitching both around and inside the leaves. It is just perfect for fall! I’ve combined it with the fun Banner Year stamp set!

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake was embossed with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder and added on top.
- A 3 x 4 piece of the Gilded Autumn Designer Paper was added across the front.
- A 1/2 x 4 piece of the striped Gilded Autumn Designer Paper was added below.
- The large leaf was cut from a 3 x 3 piece of Mint Macaron cardstock (I had a bunch of these left over from a class!) and added to the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two 1/2 x 1-1/2 piece of Early Espresso were added behind the Mint Macaron for some contrast.
- With a Grateful Heart from Banner Year stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on 5/8 x 2-1/2 piece of Very Vanilla and the end trimmed at an angle. It was added on top.
- The small heart leaf from Stitched Leaves was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock, and the long leaf from Cajun Craze cardstock. They were added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Linen Thread was folded in half and a bow tied, then added to the stems with a Mini Glue Dot.
- A trio of Champagne Rhinestones were added to the background.

STITCHED LEAVES LITTLE TREAT BOX

I also broke in my new Little Treats Box Die! Not sure WHY I waited so long to get this one. It is SO fun and a small candy bar fits in it perfectly!

The box was cut from 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and assembled.
A 2-1/4 x 6 piece of striped Gilded Autumn DSP was added around the box.
The scallop circle was cut with the Little Treats Die from Early Espresso and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimenisonals.
The heart leaf was cut from Cajun Craze cardstock and the long leaf from Gilded Autumn DSP, then added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Banner Year was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on a 5/8 x 2-1/2 piece of Very Vanilla and the end cut at an angle.
A trio of Champagne Rhinestones were added to the background.
Some Mint Macaron Basket Weave Ribbon was added thru the top hole and tied with some Linen Thread in a bow to keep it closed.

The card and treat box came together so quickly! LOVE that! OK…next up on the Control Freaks Blog Hop is Wendy Weixler. I know you’ll enjoy her projects, too!
