Tiny Treats Team Challenge

Hello, and welcome!


This months Papertrey Ink Design Team group post is all about treats and sweets! Tonight we bring you an assortment of fun projects using the soon to be released Tiny Treats: Halloween. Tiny Treats: Halloween is a followup set to the previously released valentine version called Tiny Treats: Valentine. In this set, is an assortment of spooky yet adorable images that coordinate perfectly with an assortment of fun sentiments. And, they all fit into the new Mat Stack #4!


Here's a simple idea using this adorable set...How about a treat box, filled with all kinds of creepy crawly goodies, and a matching card to put a smile on your little one's face?!
Started out with a small white gable box and covered it in spider webs (draw by hand & directions below). Topped it off with the new Mat Stack #4, stamped in Orange Zest, and a creepy crawly spider. To fold the mat stack over the edge, simply score a line across the center, fold and attach with dimensional adhesive. Isn't this Mat Stack #4 image and matching die fun?! Love it!
More spider web on the back!

Here's how it's done:
Using a marker and a straight edge (I used a Fine Tip Sharpie and a scrap piece of cardstock), draw radiating lines from a single top corner.
Starting from the corner, draw curved lines between the straight lines.
Continue until you reach the ends of the straight lines.
Coordinated the card by drawing another web, but this time I started it in a bottom corner.
Attached another Mat Stack #4, stamped in Orange Zest, and hung a creepy crawly spider with black embroidery floss. Finished it off with a True Black satin bow.

Hope this simple idea helps you out this Halloween season!

For even more fabulous ideas, be sure to see what the rest of the design team has come up with:

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed!

    The spider web shows up so well against the white, and the spider tag is cute.
