Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween, everyone! It's Darsie here, and I just love, love, love Halloween! There are so many fun ways to create with diecuts, and today I chose to make spooky candy boxes using the Coffin box diecut!

For this coffin candy box, I cut an oval out of the coffin lid, then embossed it with an embossing folder from Quickutz. I swiped Brilliance White ink over the entire coffin lid and base to give it that "aged stone" look. I accented the coffin with some sparkly red and black tulle, and an adorable Dracula image by Repeat Impressions which I glued to lollipops! I added a few rhinestone bats, and I was finished!

My next candy box was more on the simple side! I added the Small Spider diecut, which I had embossed with a Swiss Dots Folder. I also embossed the lid, same as above, and aged it with the Brilliance White ink. My spider web is from a Martha Stewart punch. I added a few rhinestones for eyes on the spider, a sticker for the sentiment, a big fluffy tulle bow and I was done!

LYNN STEVENS - BOXES

Hello Everyone - This is Chris Dickinson here! I took the month of September off and it is taking me some time to get back into the swing of things here. September, we had the VERY talented Lynn Stevens as our Guest Designer, and I feel as if I failed her! I want to apologize to her for not having this posted last month.

Check out this HAUNTING project created by Lynn! WOW! Here are the details from Lynn...

What fun I had creating these treat boxes for Halloween. I used the coffin treat box for this. It is so easy to put together. The stamps are from the newest Artistic Outpost Haunted Halloween plate. I used the torn frames technique from the Technique Junkies Newsletter.

For my next project I used the Matchbox Large and spider die cut from Creative Cuts & More

The technique uses Worn Wallpaper from TJ latest newsletter.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Spooktacular Match Box

Hi all!

Kim here today to share with you this adorable little match box I put together - perfect for a spooky little treat just in time for the upcoming Halloween season!

I assembled the match box die in Bazzill Smoothies "Tangelo Blast," which is super easy to put together - no tape required for the inside box! I added some Halloween stickers from my extensive stash ( I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!) to the top...

BOO!

My sister helped me attach the spider to a spring I pulled off an old pen by simply attaching a brad through one end of the spring into the box & the other end into the spider. I added some tiny red bling for the eyes, filled the box with candy corn & closed it up for the next "victim" to open!

Tee Hee Hee!!

Yeah! It's Officially Halloween Today!

I wanted to share with you a great way to showcase die-cuts. I found this fun tree and thought it would be perfect for Halloween. Add some Creative Cuts & More die-cuts, gauze and sparkle and you have instant boo-factor!

Here are the die-cuts I used on the tree: Pumpkin Large and Small, Spider, Witch, Black Cat, and Tombstone. I mixed up the textures by using some acetate, Bazzill {with and without texture{, tacky tape and felt.

Some ways to accent them are: emboss them with your Cuttlebug, Glimmer Mists or Shimmerz, Doodlebug Glitter and Crushed Velvet, stamping on acetate and Stickles. I am sure there are more but this is what I did on this project.

Happy Halloween!

I can hardly believe Halloween is tomorrow! I used the witch and spider die cuts from Creative Cuts and More to make these "wicked spooky" cards.


I used the coffin box, acetate box, small pumpkin and larger flourish to make this (quick and easy) spooky set:


Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Witches & Spiders Oh My!

October is my favorite month. Our front porch was Spooked Out before October even arrived!
Spiders are crawling out from the siding and are creeping along the sidewalk to the door. A creepy black cat guards the front as well as a couple of blood thirsty black crows. Cob webs have been stretched across every inch of the porch. All over the beautiful fall decorations, the old wooden rocking chairs and even the witches broom that hangs on the door.

But the inside of our house is sweet and calming. Just this fun little banner adorns the entry way. The challenge was simply to use this witch and spider die cuts. I couldn't resist making an October banner to showcase these fun die cuts from Creative Cuts & More.

This week Creative Cuts & More is sponsoring the Belli Challenge #76. Hop on over to play along!

Join us on Friday, right here at Diecut Diva, for our October Blog Hop!!

Exclusive Coffin Boxes

Looking for some fabulous ideas for Halloween gifts & goodies? There's still plenty of time to order from Creative Cuts & More!

One of our favorite ideas is the exclusive coffin box, and one example is shown here:



For this creation, Lila used the exclusive coffin box die cut out of Bazzill Bling Flirty cardstock. She also made spectacular use of spiders cut from two-sided Tacky Tape and covered them with Beetle Black Doodlebug Glitter. Aren't they perfectly spooky?
