Halloween Hoot - Acetate Box

This is a great box to make for Halloween. Although mine is filled with kisses, imagine it filled with chocolate eyeballs or gummy fingers!

The instructions to make this box are on Splitcoaststampers. The bottom of the box is Basic Black cardstock. I stamped the sign and frog in black stazon then colored them with markers. I cut them out and glued them on to the box.

The top of the box is Old Olive cardstock witha ribbon tied around the top. I made a crunched up flower for the very top. Cut a 2x6 inch strip of Cast-a-Spell dsp. Then cut fringe all along the long edge about 1 1/2 in. Roll it up and glue the end. Bend the fringe outward then crunch it up. Next I used an x-acto knife to cut a criss-cross in the top (I pushed a pencil through to make it easier to insert the fringe flower).

The green ooze is made with Crystal Effects. Lay out a piece of wax paper and glob out the CE in the shape of ooze. I made sure to make it about 8 inches. Then I sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds and colored it with drops of Old Olive reinker. Let it dry overnight. Peel it off and glue it on to the acetate just below the Old Olive lid.

Isn't it a cute box?

Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I enjoy sharing with you.

Halloween Hoot - Triangle Box

Here's a cute little treat box!

The triangle box and acrylic smash technique instructions are on Splitcoaststampers. The box is made from Basic Black cardstock and uses plum grosgrain ribbon to tie it closed.

To do the acrylic smash, take a piece of acetate (transparency) and stamp it with stazon. Here I used the Halloween Hoot stamp set. Flip the acetate over and use a sponge bruch to dab acrylic paint on it. Before it dries lay it on a piece of glossy white cardstock. The acetate will stick to the glossy paper. I also added silver brads in each of the corners.

Next I stamped the witch on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and colored her in with markers. Punched her out with a 1 1/4 circle and then adhered that to a 1 3/8 black circle. Lastly, I adhered the entire triangle to the box. It's plenty big enough to fill with a handful of mini candy bars.

Have fun making your own triangle boxes!

Thanks for visiting!

Halloween Hoot - Tri-Shutter Card

Check out this tri-shutter card that is part of my Halloween Hoot class. I've never made one before and it's fun! It looks harder than it really is - just two cuts and four scores. Then you decorate each panel. The base of the card is the Day and Night Specialty dsp and I used Cast-A-Spell dsp for three panels. For cardstock I used Perfect Plum, Only Orange and Whisper White. I used black stazon and markers for all the stamped images. I also used my Sizzix and the Billboard alphabet for the "BOO!" on the front. The bats are black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.

Have a great day!

Halloween Hoot!

Hi all! I can't believe that I let an entire month go by without posting....

Here are some Halloween projects for a class that I have coming up. We'll be making decorating a clipboard for this year's fab costume photo, a tri-shutter card, an acetate box and a triangle box using the acrylic smash technique.

All projects use the Halloween Hoot stamp set. Other supplies are Cast-A-Spell designer paper, Night and Day specialty designer paper, Black Stazon, acetate, Basic Black cardstock, Old Olive cardstock, Ony Orange cardstock, Perfect Plum cardstock and Whisper White cardstock, acrylic paint (banana, kiwi, purple) and markers in Old Olive, Only Orange, Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Creamy Caramel, and grosgrain ribbon in black, plum, orange and olive and lastly, silver brads.

Making all these things was super fun especially with a pile of Halloween candy at my finger tips!

I hope that you had a great weekend and got lots of crafting done! Thanks for stopping by!
