We had fun club meetings this month. I was happy to be able to go to Portland and meet with my club there. Thanks, Lana, for having us!! Love that table :)
Our theme this month was Halloween - what else? I demoed these darling candy boxes - copied the idea from Gretchen B. She is SO creative.
These are wonderful little candy holders and they hold a LOT of candy - plenty enough for one little gobblin for all his/her Halloween needs!
Here we have a real line-up Frankie, Brenda, Gasper, Manfred and Dougie (penned by Gretchen). Aren't they quite a bunch.
Here's Frankie
To make Frankie you will need
Fancy Favor Box cut from Old Olive (12 x 12 iece of Card Stock cut 6 x 12). Just a tip on cutting the Fancy Favor box and any dies that require scoring. Use the Crease Pad (Standard 113476 Extended 117630, page 205) for the top of the sandwich. This will put in score lines. With my Big Shot, I have to add a shim (I use a piece of 6 x 12 card stock) so that my cutting lines will be cut. Every Big Shot is calibrated differently, so you need to experiment with yours.
Cut two Top Note Dies in Old Olive. Also cut a Top Note die in Concord Crush.
For the nose you will need to cut out one Round Tab Punch (119864, page 202) in Old Olive. You will also need 3/4" circle in Whisper White for the Eyes; 1/2" circle in Black for the irises and one more 3/4" circle in Old Olive for the eyebrows.
I sponged around the top note dies and the nose and eyebrows with old olive.
Attach the nose with dimensionals. Attach the black irises to the eyes and add the eyebrows with dimensionals.
Cut "bangs" for the hair with your paper snips. Attach hair to top over eyes.
With a black Stampin' Write Marker add the mouth and black scars on the sides of the face.
Attached both top die notes on the fancy favor box with Sticky Tape (104294, page 197)
And you have Frankie
Brenda is made the same except I made her smiling and with pink hair
Manfred the Mummy
And here's Manfred the Mummy.
Very Vanilla Card Stock
You will need one 6 x 12 piece fo the Fancy Favor Box (see instructions for Frankie). I cut three top note dies in Very Vanilla - cut apart one and sponged So Saffron on it to sharpen the details between the pieces. I then applied with over the second top note - I left some room for the eyes which are punched with black with the 1" circle punch; whisper white 3/4" circle punch and the irises 1/4' circle punch. I drew in the veins in the eyes with the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.
Gasper the Ghost
Gasper is a friendly ghost - he scares easily, so really needs candy to keep him down. He is made with Whisper White card stock same as the others. I sponged Concord Crush around the edges. The eyes are made from the Large Oval Punch (119855, page 202). I punch three black and one white. I cut the white one in half and added it to the black for the eyes along with 1/2" black circles for the irises. The other black oval is for the mouth. I then punched a 1 3/8" x 5/8" Large Oval (119863, page 202) for the nose and sponged around with lightly with concord crush ink.
Dougie the Vampire
Dougie is made with Bashful Blue Card Stock and sponged with concord crush. To make the "hair", I cut the top note die in Basic Black - then cut again about 1 1/4" so I had the top "v's. The black behind the eyes is a 1 1/4" square punch cut in half. The mouth is a Word Window Punch and the teeth are a 3/4" square cut in half
Aren't these just the ticket for little prizes for the kids?
