I had several people ask for instructions on making the pencil box that I posted last week. So here they are!

 

Supplies needed:

11x 2 1/4 black cardstock

Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper: one that is 2x 3 3/4 and a second one that is 2 x 3

Halloween Frights Stamp set (coming out in the mini on Wednesday!)

Black Ink

1 inch circle punch

small tag punch

Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon

Silver Brads

 

Instructions:

1. Score the cardstock at 6 3/4 and again at 7. Fold on the score lines.

2. Add the larger piece of patterned paper to the front of the box and the smaller piece to the back inside panel.

3. Add a brad to each side of the front of the box to keep it closed.

4. Wrap Kiwi Kiss Ribbon around the box to hide the brads.

5. Use stamps and punches to decorate the front of the box. I attached my embellishments with demensionals.

 

Simple!!!! I can make 45 of these, right?!!! Did I mention that I have to make treats for 2 other classes as well?! CRAZY!!!

See you tomorrow!

It’s the end of my week of Halloween projects : (  No worries- worries, I still have a month to show a few more! I haven’t even started the Halloween scrapbooking ; )

AND- since I had several people ask how to make the pencil box- I will have a short tutorial first thing next week!!!

This is such an easy project. If you have the Big Shot that is!!! And this is just one of a about a dozen projects that I have featured in my Big Shot newsletter. This newsletter is available for everyone who purchases the Big Shot from me! Click HERE for more info about the Big Shot and about the free newsletter!

I will not be blogging this weekend. I will be spending time with my family on Saturday and then I have a scrapbook club on Sunday. But I will be back on Monday!!! Have a fabulous weekend! Make time to be creative!

Stamps: NONE (but I could have stamped something as a tag- but I was in too much of a hurry!)

Paper: Ghostly Greeting Designer Series Paper

Other: Big Shot, Pillow Box Die, Kiwi Kiss Striped ribbon, M & Ms (my fave!!!)

I was a at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and I came across these cute Halloween pencils. They were 12 of a $1 and I bought a bunch because I thought they would be better treats for my son’s preschool class than the ususal candy. I designed this litle pencil box to put them in. What do you think? Am I crazy to make 40 of these for preschoolers?!!! : )

I am being a bit of a tease as the bat stamp comes from a set called Halloween Frights. It is in the Holiday Mini Catalog which starts on October 1st!

 

Recipe:

Stamps: Halloween Frights

Paper: Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon, Circle Punch, Tag Punch

I am keeping with my Halloween theme for this week and I thought I would share this very simple card that I made several weeks ago.

I made this card with the Big Shot and the top note die that is exclusive to Stampin’ up! All I did was fold my cardstock in half and then position the die so that it went off of the fold. It easily went through both layers of cardstock. I then ran a piece of paper from the Ghostly Greetings pack through the Big Shot with the same die.

Now check out the stamps I used! Aren’t they adorable?! As soon as I saw this set in the catalog, I knew it had to be mine!!!

I used this stamp set in the fun tutorial that I am sending to everyone who ploaces an on-line order with me. Don’t miss out! Click on the Shop button for instructions on placing your order!

Here is another one of the treats that the ladies at my October class can choose to make. I think this one is going to be a hit!

This fun little box holds three peppermint patties which are decorated with the Batty for you stamp set and some Kiwi Kiss scallops.

There are several tutorials out there for boxes like this one. I used several of them and just made some minor changes to make it faster!

Would you like my tutorial??? All you have to do is sign up to receive my newsletter on the top left side of this page. I will be including the tutorial for this exact project in my October newsletter!

Do you want to make it even easier on yourself??? Then just plan on coming to my class on October 17th and get all of your Halloween treats made in one evening!

Isn’t this Halloween Treat Basket CUTE?!!! And it was so simple to make with the Big Shot and the Basket and Blooms Die.

I am going to be having a Halloween class at my house on October 17th. Each person will receive a pack of the Ghostly Greeting Designer Series Paper and some black cardstock. Then they will be able to go from station to station making different Halloween treats!! And the best part- they can make as many of each treat as they like or until they run out of paper!

This is just one of about 5 projects they will have to choose from. I will be showing more of them this week as I focus on Halloween projects!

Hi everyone! I had a very full day that included a fun meeting with my MOPS group and a few hours in the ER with Makenzie. She is doing ok but has a high fever. I am exhausted! But I really wanted to share this fun project with you that I made for the ladies at my MOPS table. Each month we give the ladies a new bible verse and so I made them a cute box to collect these verse cards. And of course- I had to decorate the verse card to match the box!

I printed the verse on my computer and then added the stamping on top of the words.

I hope the ladies at my table enjoyed!

Stamps: Inspired by Nature

Paper: Haiku, Old Olive, Whisper White

Welcome to my brand new blog! I am so excited to share this with you. I had no idea that blogging would become such a huge part of my Stampin’ Up! business! So I have outgrown the free blogger service and I am starting a new adventure!

 

It will take me a bit to learn all the ins and outs! But stick with me! I have big things planned!!!

 

Sorry no eye candy today. Still no camera! But I am getting it back tomorrow and I have lots of new things to show you!
