Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate this occasion.

I got into the spirit of Halloween this year and made some 3D treat boxes ready for the trick or treaters.

The first box is the a Bat Curvy Keepsake box filled with little chocolates.

I made the usual curvy keepsake box out of Basic Black card stock. I then punched two large ovals which would become its wings and using a 1/2" circle punch, punched out the scalloped section. I used two other circle punches to make the kooky bat eyes. The 'Just for You' sentiment was stamped onto Calypso Coral card stock punched out using the Word Window Punch and attached with white bakers twine. The bat is sitting on the Spider Doilies found in the Holiday Catalogue and available from my online store.

The next treat box was made from the Stampin' Up! Bigz Fry Box.

I diecut the Fry Box from Very Vanilla card stock and decorated it with the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper. I also used the Washi Label Punch to punch out a piece of the Happy Haunting DSP and added the black glimmer paper 'Boo' onto the Washi Label. A piece of Spider Doily decorated the back section of the box with a black glimmer paper arrow pointing to all the Halloween chocolate goodies.

Both the Curvy Keepsake and the Bigz Fry box can be decorated to suit any occasion. With Christmas coming up, you could easily use Christmas colours and Designer Series Paper to give these boxes a festive look.

The key products used on these boxes have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased. Papercrafting classes are available.
