Once again, I used my We R Memory Keepers punch board and some Core'dinations 'Black Magic' card. I used a 12x12 piece of card, and made the largest size of box (a 4x4 cube). I sanded the edges of the card to reveal the coloured core (they're all different)...then added some pieces of the same card embossed with a selection of 'spooky' embossing folders...I scuffed up the edges a little and then sanded over the raised surface to reveal the coloured core. I added a little tag made out of more of the same card...decorated each one with a different Penny Black image (from the 'Be Very Scared' & 'Spooky' sets) and tied them to the boxes using a variety of co-ordinating twine.
Here are some photos of each of the boxes...fist the 'white' one:
And...the embossing on the back:
'Yellow':
'Blue':
'Purple':
'Red':
And, finally...with their 'green' buddy:
I'm entering these treat boxes into the following challenges:
- Amusing - Halloween
- As You Like It - New or Old Stash (Old...I find it terribly difficult to use my new stash...especially papers...and it's always lovely to discover forgotten gems amongst your old stash...like this Core'dinations card that I've had for several years...and these cute Penny Black stamps that I get out each Halloween)
