Im still suffering with a bad unprepossessed and its definitely slowing me down. Thankfully Ive improved unbearable to be worldly-wise to take part in this months A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. Today its all well-nigh the September 2022 Kit tabbed Spooky Treats. While Im not a huge fan of Halloween I know a lot of you are, so my first project is a larger box for plane increasingly Halloween treats. Then my second project is an easy Christmas idea with a simple trick to disguise those unexceptionable box colours.
NOT SO SPOOKY GHOST
My first project starts very simply with the woebegone box drawer piece from the kit. No tricks here I just assembled the tray as shown in the official Paper Pumpkin unboxing video.
With that washed-up I took one of the scalloped circles and the “Trick or Treat” sentiment from the Spooky Treats Stamp Set included in the kit. Using the Orchid Oasis mini ink spot from the kit I stamped the sentiment onto the circle. Then I flipped the assembled tray box over and stock-still the sentiment onto it with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals from the kit. Finally I widow the printed ghost with increasingly Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
One of the problems I’ve been hearing is that the box is not big unbearable for everything people want to put in them. So I decided to transpiration the diamond from a drawer-style box to a two part box.
For this I cut a 6-7/16″ x 6-15/16″ piece of Orchid Oasis Card. Then I scored it on each side at 2″ and cut up one side of each of the square corner sections to create tabs. I trimmed 1″ off each of the tabs and tying Tear & Tape Adhesive from the the kit to each one as shown in the photo. Then I simply tucked each tab in and secured them in place to create a simple tray box. After filling the box I widow the decorated woebegone box on as a lid.
If you’re increasingly of a visual learner trammels out my video for creating simple two part boxes from scratch.
This finished box is now 2″ upper instead of the original 1″ high. If you’d prefer something plane larger start with a piece of vellum 8-7/16″ x 8-15/16″ and score it on all sides at 3″. This will requite you a box 3″ upper but will still fit the ‘drawer’ from the kit as a lid.
CHRISTMAS GIFT BOX
It goes without saying that you could take any one of the boxes from the kit and transpiration it to a variegated occasion simply by waffly the sentiment. But what if all you have left are the woebegone or unexceptionable orange drawer pieces and they don’t fit your colour scheme? Well I found a simple solution… simply hoke the box inside out and start with a white base!
Having turned a woebegone drawer box into a white one I took one of the Fresh Freesia sleeve pieces from the kit. I could have assembled this inside out too but instead I decided to tone lanugo the colour a little. So using a Blending Brush I widow a light touch of Starry Sky ink. Then from the Spooky Treats Stamp Set I found the stars image and stamped them wideness the inked surface. Finally I assembled the sleeve and slipped the white drawer inside.
Next from my stash I cut an 8-1/4″ piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon and wrapped it virtually the box. With the cut ends of the ribbon on the top I stock-still them into place with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Then I looked through my wide-stretching hodgepodge of stamp sets and chose the ” ‘Tis the season” sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set. Continuing with my idea to turn everything white I flipped over one of the scalloped whirligig pieces from the kit. Using Starry Sky ink I stamped the sentiment surpassing subtracting three of the woebegone star sequins from the kit. Then I tying the completed sentiment to the box sleeve with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and my second unorganized project was done.
