"FRIGHTFUL SIGHT" BOX OF TREATS

This "box of boxes" that I'm sharing today is a project that I designed about a month ago.  I had a lot of fun with this one, mainly because I used some digital downloads ("Pick Your Poison" embellishments and "Piece of Poison" stamp brush set) and My Digital Studio for most of the design features.  Every holiday presents an opportunity for which to design cards and special treat packages, but Halloween is always a really fun occasion for me!  This project began with one of Stampin' Up!'s Kraft boxes, which is a very generous size and quite inexpensive!  "Frightful Sight" designer paper was used to cover the sides of the box and the interior flaps.  I used MDS to design the border and most of the design elements, and I also stamped the buzzard from the "Dark & Dreary" stamp set to place on the front of the box.  Little dots of "Dazzling Details" glitter were added to this project, along with black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.  I filled the box with four smaller boxes which were cut from the Bitty Box Sizzix die, and I wrapped a strip of "Frightful Sight" designer paper around each box.  Although my project was designed to leave open, it's nice to know that the box can be closed with the Bitty Boxes inside AND that a total of five Bitty Boxes will fit inside the box!  All of the products that I used for this project can be found and purchased on my web site.  Just let me know if you need help finding them!
