Simply Spooky Scrumptious Shop - Creations by AR Blog Hop

Welcome to September's new release from Creations by AR! This month's release is the Simply Scrumptious Shop, a super cute treat or gift box with inserts for all kinds of possibilities.  Maybe some cookies for a bake shop, some K-cups for a coffee shop, or whatever else you can imagine.  You can win your own copy of the files, which come in DXF, SVG, and PDF forms, and this one looks pretty easy to cut by hand. I cut mine with the Silhouette Cameo, and I fit all the same color pieces on one sheet each.

I decided to take this template a different way - we have no school the day after Halloween this year, so we are having a party! I thought this might make some cute family favors to take home, so I tried it out as a Spooky Magic Shop.

I added black ink distressing, some glitter cardstock gooey drips, some "magical creatures", and made one of the shutters crooked. I thought it turned out super cute!

The green glitter cardstock is from Close To My Heart and punched with a Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch. The orange cardstock is Bazzill and the purple and black cardstock is Close to My Heart.

The owl and frog are clear stamps from the Fright Night "Clearly Swanky Set" by The Cat's Pajamas, stamped with Archival black ink from CTMH and colored with Copic markers.

The box opens by taking the roof off and opening the front downward.  I currently have one treat holder in the box, because I haven't decided what we're going to put in them! Something yummy? Something spooky? Something fun? I don't know!

This insert has a circular opening, to hold something like a K-cup, votive candle, etc. There is also a solid insert that has one end open, perfect for sliding in a cookie or some other flattish treat. And you can stack up multiple inserts in the box.

Now, since I know you can't wait to get your hands on this, here's how you can win the files for yourself:
