Witch Shoes

Hi! Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. My son and his family have been building a house and everything has been going wrong. Anyway, since tomorrow is Halloween, I figured it was time to make treat boxes for my granddaughters.

For my witch shoes I used CG_Witch Shoe Box from My Scrap Chick.

I enlarged the file slightly and followed the included PDF instructions on how to put the shoes together. It was very easy to do. I used the Spooky Delight stack by DCWV for my shoes. I also used scraps of orange glitter cardstock for the buttons and gold glossy cardstock for the buckle. I inked all the edges with black ink. The finished shoe measures 6.5 inches long by 5 inches tall. 

I think my granddaughters will love them. It's a quick project, so there is still plenty of time to make one or two Witch Shoe Boxes for your little witches and goblins. 

Thanks for looking. Happy Halloween!

Valentines Day Puffy Heart Box

I fell in love with this Puffy Heart Candy Box  from My Scrap Chick and knew I needed to make one for my granddaughter.

Here are the files I used.

I used cardstock from "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" by the paper studio  for my box.   I decided to make a double bow for my box. I simply stacked a smaller bow on top of a larger one.

           

I decided to put a cute Cupid's Cloud image on the back of my box. I started by duplicating the heart mat and making it slightly smaller, then attached the image to it.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added accents with gel pens and a glitter pen.

                                                                       

This is how the finished box looks from the side.

This was such a fun, easy project, and I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Pumpkin Time

HI!

It's pumpkin time!

Today I am sharing a pair of pumpkin boxes made with the My Scrap Chick file Fall Pumpkin Box.

Materials

Fall Pumpkin Box file by My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock from "Old World Stack" by DCWV

brown cardstock by recollections

green lanyard

green and orange twine from Dollar Tree

dark orange leaf ribbon from Dollar Tree

Glue Dots and glue

The pumpkins go together quickly and easily.  I enlarged them to about 6 inches tall. I inked all the edges with orange ink. I added the dark orange leaf ribbon to the bottom edge of the top half of the pumpkin using a combination of glue and small glue dots.

For the top of the pumpkin, I first attached the stem using glue and a large glue dot. Then I inked and shaped the leaves, and glued them down around the stem. I tied a bow around the stem using about a foot each of orange and green twine. The last step was adding the vines.  These were made from green lanyard.

I wrapped the lanyard snugly around a pen and taped the end in place. I then left it in front of a heat source for a few minutes. (I put mine in front of a portable heater.) After it cooled, I unwrapped it and cut it into lengths about 4 to 5 inches long. Using small glue dots, I attached one end behind the stem.

And then this is the finished Fall Pumpkin Box! These will be used for Halloween treat boxes for my granddaughters.

These were so quick and easy to make! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy crafting!

Valentine Fairy Bear Booty Box

Valentines Day will be here before we know it, so it's time to get those projects for our loved ones finished.

I created this adorable booty box using the following files from My Scrap Chick.

Fairy Bear Girl Booty Box 

Triple Hearts Card Set

Be Mine Card Set

I Heart You Card Set

XO Hugs and Kisses Card Set

Rosettes Scallop Edge

FAIRY BOOTY BOX

Materials

Fairybear Girl Booty Box

pink, red and white  and green glitter cardstock by Colorbok

tan and pink pearlescent cardstock by Recollections

white and black glossy cardstock scraps

pink heart gems and pink round gems

inks in coordinating colors

black and white fine tip pens

adhesive and foam tape

The bear as made from tan pearlescent cardstock and the cheeks, flowers, collar and large wing was made with the pink pearlescent cardstock. The belly, flower, small wing and flower centers were made from pink glitter paper. The flower base was made from green glitter cardstock. All pieces were accented with coordinating inking around the edges. The gems were added to the collar. The finished box is about 6.5 inches tall and wide.

VALENTINE PICKS

Materials

MSC files found here, and here.

Red, pink and white glitter cardstock by Colorbok
Pearlescent pink cardstock by Recollections
Uptown Flair Glitter Stack by the Paper Studio
Pixy Stix and Peanut Butter Hearts by Palmer (I found both at Dollar Tree)
2 inch heart punch
shish kabob skewers
1/4 inch wide pink ribbon
red glitter heart picks (optional)
Double sided tape, glue
paper clips

I made each pick about 2.5 inches wide, then duplicated each one and flipped it horizontally. I then used a combination of double sided tape and glue to attach a Pixy Stix between the two layers, then held them together with paper clips while they dried.

I used the Rosettes Scallop Edge for the heart candy rosettes. I followed the PDF tutorial included with the file and made each one about 3 inches in diameter. ( You will need two strips at 1.5 inches for each rosette.) I used the heart prints from the Uptown Flair Paper Stack for the rosettes. 

I turned the rosette to the back and glued a 6 inch stick into one of the valleys, then glued a 2 inch punched heart over the hole in the center.

I added double sided tape to the stick one inch from each end, then wrapped 1/4 inch pink ribbon around the stick. I then tied a bow around the top below the rosette.

I turned the rosette over to the front.

I added several strips of double sided tape to the back of the candy heart, then attached it to the center of the rosette.

I added some floral foam to the booty box, then poked the picks into the foam. I also added two red glitter picks to the box.

I love how this Valentine Fairybear Booty Box turned out!

I hope you enjoyed my little project. Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Owl and Kitty Belly Boxes

Hi, Today I am sharing two little belly boxes that I made for my granddaughters. One granddaughter is kitty crazy and the other has a thing for owls.

I used Files from My Scrap Chick.

For the Kitty Belly Box I used Black Cat Belly Box Trio    

This belly box is seven inches tall. I made the pumpkin pieces from glitter cardstock and attached the pieces with foam tape to add more dimension. I used one inch googly eyes on my kitty. 

For the owl, I used Owl Gradution Trio and Witch Hat Halloween Treat Box for the hat.

When making the owl, I left out the cap and diploma. The owl box is 5 1/2 inches tall and the hat is six inches tall. I used foam tape again in the construction of the owl,  and also again used googly eyes. The hat was made from glitter cardstock. 

I'm sure my granddaughters will love these belly boxes. They are so easy and fun to make. Thanks for stopping by!
