Thanksgiving Treat Box

 This month Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team is using her dies to create seasonal projects for fall, Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I have made a Thanksgiving treat box for everyone's place at the table using Eileen's Box Ornament die as well as the leaves from her older Journaling Cards: Flowers and Leaves thinlit dies.  

The box is 3" high x 3" wide x 2" deep.  

(I got the sweet milking stool at Michaels half price a few weeks ago.)

Here are a few creation photos.

I took a 6"x6" piece of Silver Aluminum Metal Adhesive Backed Sheets by Sizzix and adhered it to a 6" x 6" piece of white card to make it sturdy.  

Then I applied Alcohol inks in Cloudy Blue and Caramel using a felt pad and applicator.

I die cut the sheet using the leaf die from Eileen's older Journaling cards thinlits.  

After choosing the DP (Ink Drops: Vivid 6x6 pad from Craft Consortium) shown below on the circles, I realized I wanted to add a little Wild Plum Alcohol Ink to the leaves to pull out the gold and purple colors in the paper.

I adhered the circles to the box piece of the Box Ornament using Scortape

I die cut the DP with a 3" circle die that perfectly matched the ornament die cut 

(easier than trying to cut a piece of DP to just cut the circle on the Bigz die) .  

I cut 2 pieces of the DP  2" x 1 3/4" to cover the sides of the box

The leaves and sentiment strip are all popped up on foam dots.  

I trimmed of just a tad off the circles along the bottom so the box would stand and not roll!

A pretty treat box for the Thanksgiving table in rather non-traditional colors for fall.

Please visit Eileen's blog every Wednesday this month for lots of holiday inspiration using many of her Sizzix dies!
