Cute little Goodie Boxes for Halloween!

I am getting ready for Halloween!  I know it is too early to decorate the house, but not to early to start making lots of cool cards and boxes!
These are open top boxes made with a 5 1/2" X 10" piece of heavy card stock and then decorated with ribbon, designer series paper & stamps.   I am not kidding when I tell you that these boxes are very easy to put together!  So easy that I will be making these for Thanksgiving, Christmas and ........ well you get the idea.
You can get the easy directions here.

Square Scallop Mothers Day Boxes

You know me, when I like something I get on a "kick" and I make a lot!
I am loving vintage looking paper, the square scallop die cut and making scrunched flowers!
I used the square scallop bigz die and the pennant die for these boxes..  I also used the small and large scallop circle punches, cardstock and water for the scrunched flowers.  These will make nice little gift boxes for Mother's Day!

Side note on a clever idea I saw today.  A vendor used one of these candle holders for her business cards. I knew I had seen them at Ross, so I ran right over and got my very own for $2.99.
I think it is cute clever and different!

I hope you are having a great week!

Square Scallop Vintage Box

I think one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up die cuts is how many different things you can make with each one.

Take the square scallop die for instance, I have made everything from a rag quilt purse to this cute little vintage looking box!

I am still loving the Morning Mocha paper so I used it again. With a large scallop circle and small circle scallop punch, paper and some water, you can crinkle up these cute flowers!

Looking forward to making many more of these cuties!

I hope you have had a great week!
We are looking forward to a "summer" like weekend!

Yes, more Halloween! Sorry I can't stop!!!

Here are the 2 variations of the pizza box. 6' X 11" for the larger box and 5 1/2" X 8" for the smaller.
The Splitcoast tutorial calls for the 6" X 11". I think I like the small box better??? What do you think? Yes more bags! I got this idea from Angie's ChicnScratch blog. I used my 4" X 8" bags for these. Cutting the bags down to a 4" height and cutting a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of black cardstock then a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper to go over that. Punched a small oval on top, embellished and tied up with a piece of ribbon! Now I have even more containers to fill with candy! I am still loving the witch hat and boots stamps. I have one more project to do with those! Then I will put them away til next year.

Have a wonderful week!!!

Time to put my toys away and get to my chores :)

Yes, it is time to clear off my kitchen table and clean up my mess :(
I am sitting here blogging and drinking a cup of tea to get myself ready for HOUSEWORK! YEA!! Someone has to do it right? Wish it was a housekeeper, but for today it is me.

I have made these little boxes every season. I never get tired of them because they are so easy! With different paper and embellishments for each holiday or occasion they look new every time!

I got the instructions for this box last year at Splitcoaststampers tutorials. This is called a pizza box and their dimensions are a little larger than I use. I use a 5 1/2" X 8" piece of card stock. Scored at 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2" and 7" on the long side, and 1" and 4 1/2" in the short side. I will try the larger size this week and post side by side so you can see the difference. These boxes are so easy to put together. I used mostly Stampin' Up; supplies here except for the green and orange paper. Stampin' Up has the best Halloween stamps!

Have a great weekend!
