Halloween Gable Box

Today I have a fun Halloween Gable Box to share with you.  

This would be fun to give to a friend full of Halloween candy!

I started by assembling a black Tall Gable Box die cut from Creative Cuts and More with killer white Tacky Tape.

I embossed a panel of Papaya core-dinations card stock with my Sizzix Pocket Watches embossing folder.  I used my Core-dinations sanding block to knock off the color on the raised parts.  Then I sponged on Black Soot Distress ink before adhering the papaya panel to the box.

I used Beacon Zip Dry paper glue to glue on Trick or Treat Color Fragments.

I stamped the Cling Halloween Magic image on a piece of smooth white cardstock and colored it with my Spectrum Noir Markers. 

 Hair: TN7-TN5-TN3-TN2

Dress: TN3-GB7-GB4-CT3-CT2

Greys: BG6-BG4-BG2

 Skin: TN2-TN1-EB1

and...I used some detail gold embossing powder on the watch and gear.

The fabulous ribbon is May Arts!

These Tall Gable Boxes are a terrific way to give candy, a gift card, or any small gift.  And they are so fun to decorate!

Thanks for stopping by!

Penguin Gable Box

Creative Cuts and More is continuing to showcase terrific ideas during

Christmas in July!

Today's project is a Tall Gable Box that I decorated with Cottage Cut dies, Celebrate the Season, and Penguin with Lights.

The box is die cut from Bazzill Red Canvas card stock.  I cut a piece of  Basic Grey Nordic Holiday paper to fit the front of the box and then I put it together with Killer White Tearable tacky tape

Then I added the Cottage Cut Dies to the box.

This would be a fun way to give a gift that the receiver would LOVE!!

I'll have more fun Christmas in July projects this month so check back soon!

Doodlebug Baby Projects

I'm a big fan of the cute, whimsical designs from Doodlebug... and I love that everything coordinates.

TIP: Did you know that Bazzill Criss Cross textured cardstock is dyed to match Doodlebug products? Takes away all the guesswork and makes coordinating a snap!

My card uses several of the dies from CC&M -- 5-1/4" - Square Window Card #01 - Border Windows, Heart #02 - Large with Layer, and Photo Corner #02 Set, all cut from the Criss Cross textured cardstock -- plus Doodlebug stickers, gemstones, and patterned paper.


The box was created from several CC&M dies also: Tall Gable Box, Heart #02 - Large with Layer, and Photo Corner #02 Set, all cut from the Criss Cross textured cardstock -- along with Doodlebug stickers, gemstones, and patterned paper.

I made two enhancements to the flat cardstock stickers (hippo & turtle) that were used on the projects. I used the EK Success Powder Tool to neutralize the adhesive. This allowed me to put pop-dots on the stickers so they'd have a little dimension. I added more interest to them by adding the self-adhesive jewels. Now they really pop!
