Halloween treat box

Today, I'm showing you a tiny Halloween Trick and Treat box, with tutorial and a template. The boxes are made for small Halloween chocolates (3cm in diameter).

The paper pad used for this box is the Wicked - 6x6 Paper pad. The boarder inside the box, has been created with a die from the Scalloped Rectangle Die Set. The bow has been created with a die from the Happy Days Circle die set. Some of the boxes has also got a flower on the top, created with dies from the Fancy Flowers die set.

The bats on the inside of the lid, and on the outside of the box, together with the spider webs, have been created with dies from the Wicked Boot Build-A-Card die set.

Template and tutorial

Cut out according to the template, in card stock. 

Fold according to the dotted lines.

Glue together the box and the lid.

Add the little holder for the chocolate inside the box, and push it to the bottom of the box.

Now, you can decorate the box.

I created several different boxes, in different patterned paper.

Make sure to hop around, leave a comment at each stop, and answer the mysterious questions (haha!) on the first stop. 

Here's the list and keep hoping:

The Wicked Witch boot card

We are getting closer to Halloween, and today, I am showing you some inspiration with some of the new products from LDRS creative.

I have used the new Wicked paper pad for the boot card and the great new Wicked Boot Build-A-Card die set. 

I have used black cardstock for the base of the card, and glitter card stock for the diesed decorations on the front.

 

 

Inside, I used white card stock, and created a pattern using Winds Are Blowing stamp set. 

Pop in to LDRS's shop to see all the new autumn products. They are all amazing.

A 3D witch boot.

I played along with the new Wicked Boot dies set, and created a 3d boot. 

The paper used for the shoe is from the new WICKED 6x6 Paper Pack.

I used a strip of paper between the two sets of boot diecuts to create the 3d boot.

The boot was created in black cardstock, and patterned paper was added on the outside. 

I also used glitter cardstock for effect on the boot.

A Graphic 45 lantern

We have got some autumn inspiration for our new challenge at StampARTic. I have created a Graphic 45 lantern as my DT contribution. 

The lantern is made out of papers from An Eeri Tale collection from Graphic 45. I have published tutorial and template for the lantern in an earlier post.

The windows are made from embossed acetate. 

I have created a small Hans and Gretel scene inside the lantern. I have created a small witch house around an electrical tea light, creating some light inside the house.

At the back of the lamp, there is Jack climbing the beanstalk looking into the lantern.

There is also a small tree and a flying witch.

Leaves are made from the new Prima Purple Metal Die - Leaves. Flowers are from Prime and Wild Orchid craft.

The top of the lantern can be taken of, revealing the Hans and Gretel scene inside.

The lantern with the small witch house.

Hans and Gretel looking inside the window in the witch house. The witch is walking out of the door in the house.

Ready for small Trick and Treat monsters? Folded Halloween treat bags with template

Så er det snart Halloween og "Knask eller Knep" igjen. Tradisjonen har helt erstattet julebukken her hos oss. Jeg synes det er helt greit - så lenge de som går er barn! Mange barn som går opplever også å bli skjelt ut av voksne som ikke liker tradisjonen. Synes det er veldig synd - barn trenger positive voksne.


Når man ser ned i kurvene til barna har de ofte mye snop. Jeg pleier derfor å bare gi dem litt hver - men satser heller på en litt pen innpakning - slik at det blir litt koselig å få.

Jeg har laget to forskjellige innpakninger i år. Selve innpakningene er enkle å lage. Begge er pyntet noe - men ikke overpyntet - siden omlag 30 bokser/poser skulle lages.

Liten grønn Frankensteinboks - med bevegelige øyne. Nesen er en pålimt grønn sirkel brettet i to. Øyelokkene er også en grønn sirkel - delt i to og limt på. Munn og arr er tegnet på. Håret er mal som ligger inne i Silhouette Studio (som gress). Høyden på gresset er forlenget litt slik at det skulle bli plass til å brette håret over kanten.

Jeg har laget en mal på denne brettede boksen eller posen. Det er viktig at linjestykket ab og bc er like langt. Skjær ut etter rette linjer og brett på stiplede linjer. Det lønner seg å lage hakk/score i bretten først - så blir den penere. Strek opp i bretten med strikkepinne før du bretter hvis du ikke har riktig verktøy - det fungerer helt fint. Flippen mellom I og II brettes inn og limes bak a og d. De fire flippene i underkant brettes over hverandre. Tape eller lim dem sammen.

Posen er fylt med snop før det er festet på en fargerik topper. Jeg har brukt ensfarget orange Bazzill og stemplet på stjerner og svirler. Monsteret er fra Panduro Hobby - fargelagt med blyant og litt glitter, svertet med lilla i kantene. Motivet er festet på lilla Bazzill med litt bling effekt. Knask eller knep er skrevet på PC (Font: Harry Potter - kan lastes ned gratis fra nett). Spøkelsene er kjøpt på Nille for mange år siden. Jeg har brukt en sort blonde (fra Stoff og Stil) bak bildet med en orange silketråd (fra Søstrene Grene).

Spørs om alle små prinsesser og prinser er klare for Halloween nå?
