Today's post is my entry in Amy Celona's "Impress Me Design Challenge".  The theme was a "3-D Halloween" project and while I thought about creating something else…yet ANOTHER Triangle Treat Box was begging to be made

I know….why didn't I think of this idea sooner?  All I can say is, "DUH!"  Truly….it is kind of a no brainer!  And yes, I could have sponged the colored bands onto white cardstock and made it easier on myself (I certainly wouldn't be sitting covered in glitter!) but really…what fun is that????  And this is for a Challenge…for those of you who don't know Amy , well…she does NOTHING half way…and I wasn't about to create anything sub-standard! 

Let's break this down:  The white and yellow bands are strips of cardstock that have been torn and then attached to the orange box piece (8.5" x 4.25").  The torn edges were covered in a light layer of glue (2-way glue pen) and immediately dipped in glitter (to make them look "sugary").  The 'peek-a-boo' window…again, may be a bit much for some of you and is completely optional…but isn't fun to get a peek at the goodies inside?  Surrounding the window, I used "omission stamping" to get just the words from the stamp (Batty for You, ©Stampin' Up!) and then used the Coluzzle cutter to cut the circle out of the middle (a punch wouldn't reach and with the Coluzzle's clear template, I was able to center the circle EXACTLY!)  I punched a large circle out of a piece of page protector and glued that over the window opening.  Finally, I filled the box with Candy Corn (natch!) and tied it closed with a piece of narrow, orange grosgrain ribbon.

Isn't this a great idea for a quick class or Teacher Treat?  Still more to come…stay tuned or sign up for my e-mail updates!
