Book Style Treat Holder

Here's a quick posting for this project........looks like a book from the outside but it is a treat holder. Original concept is from Mary K. Part of this project is using the Stampin' Up Exclusive Big Shot Matchbox die! Here's my version ( Yay! No Velcro!)


Inside book:

Measurement for the cover: (1) 5-1/2" x 3-1/4" Solid CS and DS paper. For this particular project, DS is cut 5-1/4" x 3" (due to limited DS scraps on hand AND that is why finished project has a black CS frame on the cover) - I kinda like it.

These are the (3) main pieces needed for this project. Other pieces needed are:
(1) 1/2" x 4" strip in Lovely Lilac Solid Card Stock (paper) - It's NOT ribbon, but try it with ribbon!
(1) Small Oval Punched Designer paper
(1) Large Oval in Lovely Lilac
(1) Black CS Decorative Frame (from the SU Exclusive Big Shot Matchbox Die)

Assemble Box. Apply Sticky tape to the following pieces: Back of box, 1" of the 1/2" x 4" Lovely Lilac strip. Add Dimensionals to the Lovely Lilac Oval and the Die cut Decorative frame.

Lightly mark with a pencil edge of the box and middle of the length of the cover.

Using the Horizontal Slot Punch as shown, punch through the pencil mark. Make sure opening is at least 1/2" to fit strip.

Remove the strips of Sticky Tape from the box bottom. Position the 1/2" strip of Lovely Lilac in between cover and box, leaving the strip to be 3" long. Secure box to back cover. Close front cover, thread 1/2" strip through Horizontal slot and underneath the Black CS decorative die frame.

Supplies:

• Stamps: None
• CS: Cast-a-Spell Designer Series Paper, Black, Lovely Lilac
• Ink: None
• Accys: SU Exclusive Big Shot Matchbox Die, Small Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Horizontal Slot Punch, Sticky Tape, Dimensionals

Scary Fun Treat Tote

Yay! I finally got to make one of these great totes: uses (2) Sizzix Big Shot #2 Box dies. Attach them back to back and this is what you get! Way cool, eh? Not the newest invention, for sure, but still cute - easy to make - fun to give!That cute skeleton is made from punches (inspired by Ellen: her blog http://www.blinkthinkink.blogspot.com/) . Check out Ellen's site because she has way cool punch creations. Here's a photo of one side of the tote:

Here's the other side of the tote:

Top view:

Another view of the Trick or Treat side:

Another view of the "Eat, Drink, & be Scary" side:

How to make this tote:

• Cut (2) Sizzix Big Shot #2 Box
• Stamp using Only Orange and Black ink the circle swirls from the Tasty Sweet Stamp set: be sure to also stamp the inside flap of the box. No need to stamp the back side of the box as it will not show.
• Assemble Boxes, adhere sticky tape to the back
• Using the Large Oval punch, center on the flap and punch for the handle.
• Wrap 1/4" Black Grosgrain ribbon around front and back of tote.
• Attach messages with dimensionals.

Prepare the 2 messages: "Eat, Drink & Be Scary" and "Trick or Treat". Mount as shown in photo using dimensionals. The Trick or Treat message was made by using Stampin Write pens to achieve the colors.
Here's how to make the skeleton:

• Prepare (2) 1/4" x 4-1/2" strips, cut in half. You should have 4 pieces of 2-1/4 strips
• Use Designer Label Punch to make head. Slip one side of the Designer Label punch into a 1-1/4" Circle Punch as shown on the right photo.
• Use Heart to Heart Punch to punch out the smallest heart for the ends of the "cross". Clip the tip of the heart. Adhere to bones using 2 Way Glue Pen. (oops.....photo doesn't show this)
• Using 1/4" Circle Punch (or Crop-o-dile), punch (2) Black circles for eyes, 1 for nose (cut this in half). Adhere to head using 2 Way Glue Pen.
• Use a Black Stampin' Write Pen to draw mouth
• Attach each skull with dimensionals to (1) Scallop Circle (which means you need to punch 2 Scallop Circles): punch out in Black CS

To finish this project: made to order shreds in Only Orange and Black! Cut 1/8" wide lengthwise, using scraps. Crumple up into a ball - right photo shows finished shreds!
