I kept telling myself I wasn't going to craft for Halloween since I'm now an empty nester, but then I decided to send treats to my daughter and her roommates at college. And, as I'm sure any crafter can understand, once I got started crafting these cute little treat boxes I couldn't stop! LOL Luckily, there are a couple of Halloween-y challenges this week so I am submitting this at the
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and over at the
Color My Heart where this week's challenge it to use Sunset and Thistle (which just happen to be prominent colors in Close To My Heart's
Scaredy Cat paper kit).
Anyway, I used some of the Scaredy Cat papers as some discontinued paper kits, 3 of CTMH's exclusive Cricut cartridges, as well as a discontinued stamp set for the "Happy Halloween" sentiment with the bat, and the Perfect Fit stamp sets -- I love working with these sets!
Happy (crafty) Halloween! Annette
details: Art Philosophy cartridge was used to cut all treat containers as well as the scalloped circles in the center and the corresponding shapes for the
Perfect Fit - Frames 2 stamp set. The
PF - Halloween stamp set was used for the smaller center shapes which could be cut with the AP cartridge or a 1 1/4" punch. Jack o'lantern faces were cut from the
Artbooking cartridge and the spider from the
Artiste (with off-brand orange glitter glue for the eyes. I chose to emboss the spider web design (from Paper Studios) rather than try to glue it onto 3-D projects. The "Happy Halloween" sentiment with the bat is from an older, discontued CTMH set I borrowed from a friend; I can't find the name but the number is D1381). White background/polka dot paper is from retired Spellbound kit and the darker fry box and spiders are from the Mischief kit, which is also retired.
