These are made using the matchbox die for teh big shot. They open to reveal a pop up eye ball to scare whoever you give them too!
This was made with the box #2 die for the big shot. I die cut 2 boxes and instead of closing the lid I attached them back to back and punched the oval through for a handle. It's hard to see because the base is black but there is room for treats in the front and back.
As I did last year, I am offering these monster boxes again as a class TO GO. You will get all the materials you need, all the punch outs and instructions to create the 5 adorable Halloween monsters! Cost is $16.50 for all 5 boxes. Or if you would like you can mix and match for $4 per box. Please email me if you would like this kit. I will be accepting orders until October 15th only!
How adorable is this little trick or treat bag! Yet another idea from regionals...though I have had a little white bag ready to make something similar, just haven't gotten around to it yet! Though my idea involved putting hte child's name on the bag to personalize it. Here everything is made out of paper so it is disposable if it gets dirty or ripped after allt eh candy collecting! I also had the idea to die cut the bear and clothes out of felt with iron on paper on the back and iron them on to a canvas bag that can be used year after year. Once I make one I will be sure to post it. And if you don't have the big shot but would like the reusable canvas bag, don't worry I will probably have them for sale!
Here are some more adorable Build a Bear ideas from that regional convention. Cupcake pick, napkin ring, birthday hat, notebook, treat bag...and more! Aren't they adorable? There is so much you can do with these! Think about the amazing themed Build a Bear birthday party you could have!
We used the new Cheep Talk set for the cards and the Tea Part Designer paper. So cute isn't it?
it's a little hard to see in this photo but we used the texture plates on the background of the card. I demonstrated how to use them and then everyone got to pick which pattern they wanted on their card.
We made a Top Note photo album. We cut top notes out of chipboard and decorated them with some designer paper.
I demonstrated how you can cut a picture with your Big Shot and Top Note die and get it perfectly centered and not cut off an important part of the picture! A tutorial with pictures will be coming soon for that!
Just a front and back cover made with the top note, then sandwich some photos cut with the top note in between, punch a hole through all of them and add a binder ring or tie a loop with ribbon and you have a quick and easy photo album!
I LOVE this card! It was the first one I made with my Trendy Trees set! I had every intention of sending this one in for Stampin Up's monthly contest but time got away from me. I know it would have won!
We made this adorable mini purse, the perfect size to hold a nice Ghiradelli chocolate in. We used the scallop envelop die for this projects, yes you CAN do more with that die than just make an envelope!
Last but not least we made this adorable Sale-A-Bration box. This is one of our new box die cuts, which makes it a cinch to put together! We used the new SAB paper, ribbon and Yummy stamp set. Everyone got to decorate some chocolate to put inside, and eat that night too!
Here are the "monster" boxes I made for Halloween, I got lots of inspiration from all over for these guys, but the Frankenstein and Mrs. Frankenstein boxes started my obsession with making the boxes and spurred me to create all the Christmas boxes. The original Frankenstein treat box can be found on Cambria Turnbow's blog.
