One key tool of power creep are those very treaties. Let's do one more treaty and had things in the small prints. Of course the member states drafted and agreed to those and that's why pressure should be on governments to stop hand over the keys to Brussels.
That's in addition to the constant Commission push for more power and they often overstep their role... We're seeing clearly on issues like Ukraine and, lately Israel.

What specific example are you thinking of where additional power was handed to Brussels through an amendment of the treaties?

If you are worried about the executive trying to expand its power (and something that should be kept in check), may I suggest that the US is not actually a great example right now for how to avoid that?
