Sweet Pie Anyone?

Here is a slice of "Sweet As Pie" from Paper Pumpkin the way it's served up in the October kit. Now, I think it's fine, but the pom pom turned out to be a little overwhelming for my taste! You could make that pom pom smaller. And, bonus: this piece of pie is a box that holds a surprise treat inside!

I decided on a sweeter-looking piece of pie by adding some soft whipped cream to the edge in the form of a half-doily. I softened a leaf shape by scoring some veins in this Vellum Card Stock and then adding color with sponge daubers. I used the Sweet As Pie stamp from the kit for my sentiment and cut around it so it's a banner. I attached it over the leaf with a bit of Linen Thread and Venetian Crochet Trim. 

Now THAT's my idea of Sweet As Pie! Imagine 8 slices of this on a platter, or each "piece" served up as a placecard on your Thanksgiving table? 

I hope you enjoyed looking today. Won't you please leave a comment?

If you are interested in having Paper Pumpkin delivered right to your door every month, why don't you give it a try? You can cancel at any time! October's Kit had all the supplies (pre-cut and scored pie boxes, stickers, yarn, stamps, ink spot) and instructions to make 8 pieces of pie. There are always a few items leftover and of course you have the ink and stamp set to keep forever :-)

Treat Box Project

This is a Stampin' Up! Gift Card Enclosure that I jazzed up and re-shaped thanks to a post by Patty Bennett. She showed how to score 1/2" outside the pre-scored lines on three sides of the box and then use a 3" x 10" "belly band" of Park Lane Designer Series Paper to decorate. I also used half of a Tea Lace Doily to decorate the un-scored side, which is now the top of my box. 

After you form the box, you can decorate with any punched item. Here I used a Chalk Talk Framelit to cut a shape in Whisper White, then added an Artisan Label shape which perfectly cuts out a Label Love sentiment. I stamped it twice, cut the middle out of the Whisper White one and added it to the one stamped on Daffodil Delight card stock. I took the extra Whisper White pieces and added them on the top and bottom of my Chalk Talk shape. I added pearls. 

There is a ribbon tied horizontally underneath my tag. Inside my box, I added some retired Gold and White Waffle Paper. 

This was designed as a treat box, but I'm going to use it to tuck in some Stampin' Up! product when I give it to someone. What would YOU put in there? I'd love to read your answer in my comments!
