Make this Purr-fectly Spooky Cat Treat Tote

I was inspired to create this Halloween treat tote from one made by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Dee Slater. She created this cute treat tote shape using the Envelope Punch Board for a birthday treat. I thought what a purr-fect way to hold some spooky treats!

I used her basic measurements but changed the paper, stamp set, and embellishments to feature the Spooky Cat Bundle and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper - my favorite Halloween product suite!

Gather the materials and cut the cardstock.

Cat Envelope Punch Board Treat Tote Measurements
	Color	Dimensions
Treat Box Base	Spooky Night Designer Series Paper	6” x 6”
Circle	Very Vanilla	2” x 2”; die cut 1-3/4” scalloped circle & emboss with Oh My Stars Embossing Folder
Cat	Spooky Night Designer Series Paper	Punch out 1 cat from the cat patterned paper
Greeting Banner	Pumpkin Pie	3” x 3/4"; stamp Happy Halloween in Basic Black Archival ink & punch out with the Classic Label Punch

Using the Envelope Punch Board and the 6" x 6" piece of Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, create the treat box base. 

1. First slide the Designer Series Paper to the 1-3/8” mark on the Envelope Punch Board, punch, and score. 
2. Move the paper over to the 4” mark, punch, and score. 
3. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Line up the notch with the previous score line, punch, and score. Move the paper over to the second previous score line, punch, and score. 
4. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise and repeat. Repeat on all four sides.
5. Round all four corners using the corner rounder punch on the back of the Envelope Punch Board.
6. Carefully burnish all of the score lines. Designer Series Paper is thinner than cardstock, so it will not need as much pressure to create a nice creased score line.
7. Cut the side flaps as shown below.


 


8. Add tape to each of the larger side flaps. Adhere to the center panels. 
9. Add tape to each of the smaller side flaps. Flip the smaller side flap taps to the outside of the box and adhere.





10. Punch a 3/4" circle from a sticky note. Place on 1 of the larger side flaps, bring the two larger side flaps together, and punch. Remove the sticky note.
11. Thread the shimmery ribbon through the punched circle and tie a bow.
12. Die cut the circle from the Very Vanilla cardstock and emboss with the Oh, My Stars Embossing Folder.
13. Punch out cat from the cat patterned paper from the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper pack. Adhere the cat to the center of the embossed circle. Add a dimensional to the back of the circle and adhere to the side of the treat tote.
14. Stamp Happy Halloween onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock with Archival Basic Black ink. Punch out the greeting with the Classic Label Punch. Add a black rhinestone to either end of the greeting. Add dimensionals to the back of the greeting and adhere to the bottom of the cat at an angle, as shown in the photograph.
15. Fill the tote with treats.

These treat totes are just the right side for a handful of mini peanut butter cups, a few chocolate squares, a pack of mints, and so much more. You could also put nonfood treats in here, such as some fun pencil erasers, a box of stitch markers, a small puzzle, or jewelry.

How would decorate your treat tote? I would love to see what you make!
