Hi, Riet here with a cute little Halloween candy/gift box.
I had some scraps left over from my last project and used them for this box.
It would be a shame to throw them away, wouldn't it?
What did I use for it?
LCD Mini gnomes 1
We r Makers gift box punch board
Bow die
Bat die
Small tag punch/die
Ecoline markers:
600 Green, 237 Deep Orange, 548 Blue violet.
(Any other brand waterbased markers will do fine).
Black waterproof ink pad.
Watercolor paper.
The background was created by coloring directly onto the stamp with the ecoline markers.
Spray a very small amount of water onto it and press it down.
Be sure to use watercolor paper for this.
Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Now for the box.
Select the size on the punch board.
My box measures 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 6.5cm.
Cut 4 pieces of the skull-patterned background paper for the sides of the box.
Die-cut the bows and add detail to them using the stamps.
Die-cut a bat.
Since the box still needs to be able to open, I opted for a paper band.
I sized it to fit and glued the bow onto it.
And now for the mini tag.
Stamp the little witch using black waterproof ink.
I colored her—as well as the background—with Derwent Chromaflow pencils.
I added some glitter to the stars on her hat using Ranger Stickles.
Glue the tip of the tag just below the paper ribbon.
And with that, the little box is finished.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Why not join in with our challenge? The team would love that!
And, of course, you’ll also have a chance to win a prize.
Have a wonderful day, and until next time!
