Afternoon lovies! Today is National Card Making Day and I've had very little time to play since I've been creating this site. However, I did get a couple of treat boxes made that I'm going to use as a 3D project at my next card class. So sit back and relax and I'll tell you how these were made.
I started with a 12 x 12 sheet of printed paper from the Fall-O-Ween prints (PP-0060). Such a beautiful, versatile set that can be used for both Halloween and Thanksgiving cards and projects. At any rate, I cut the sheet into 6 x 6 squares and used an envelope punch board to score, notch and fold. I'll attach the tutorial for them at the bottom of this post. After I had constructed 4 boxes, I set them aside to make the embellishments.
I stamped a skeleton from the Skeletons Dance bundle (BD-0425) onto Whip Cream card stock (CS-0040) using Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink Pad (IP-0041). I then cut the skellie out using the matching die, stamped a sentiment in the same way and cut it out also. I colored the skellie with Journey Color Burst pencils (JM-0077) and then painted a light layer of Journey Glaze (AC-0003) over him to make him appear as though he's glowing.
For the 2nd box I stamped an image from the same stamp set onto Black Licorice card stock (CS-0003) using clear pigment ink (IP-0102). I then covered them image with Journey White embossing powder (IP-0098) and heat set it with my Journey Heat Gun (TO-0083). I cut the image out using the coordinating die.
I then mounted the skeletons onto the boxes with small Journey Foam Squares (AD-0084) and the same with the sentiment. Lastly, I punched a small hole in the top flaps and cut a piece of Pumpkin Patch ribbon (AC-0334) to tie closed the top. Each treat box will hold 1 fun size candy bar or 3 Hershey nuggets. Happy Halloween!
