Frankenstein Treat Box Tutorial

Fancy Favor Frankenstein Box

Create an adorable Frankenstein treat container using the Fancy Favor box die. Cut a 6 x 12 piece of Old Olive card stock and run it through the big shot with the Fancy Favor die. The die cuts and scores for you, so all you need to do is draw in the mouth and scars with a Basic Black marker. Do this on the front panel which would be the panel with the two gusseted sides. Use either liquid Tombow multi or Sticky strip adhesive to assemble the box.

Cut a strip of Basic Black card stock that is 4 x 1 1/2 inches and place it on the die so that the top is trimmed to match the decorative edge.

Trim the scored pieces off and hand trim the lower edge of the box so that it resembles Frankenstein’s hairline.

Draw a white crescent on each black circle, using the White gel pen. Glue the eyes together as shown. Sponge all of the punched pieces with crumb cake ink to make them stand out against the Old Olive box.

Sweet Treats

Everyone loves getting candy treats during the Christmas season. Here are three different options for packaging your sweet treats!

12 gifts of christmas

I used the Petite Pocket die to create this cute little pouch. It really doesn’t get much easier than this for a quick project, and it’s the perfect size for a variety of candies!

I love our 1 x 8 cello bags for candy gifts. This topper was fun to make using the smaller circle scallop punch. I just snipped apart the layers and added some tiny punched circles for ornaments. Crystal effects was used to make them shine!

Finally, gift number 5 in this series is this fun little box which will hold quite a few candies. It is a six sided box, made using the Milk Carton die! Lots of fun!

CD or DVD Envelope

This project was very easy and I must admit, it is one of my favorites. We all love music at our house. I say that without a bit of exaggeration. We often spend an evening listening to music and chatting rather than watching television and rarely does a Christmas or birthday go by without a request for a particular CD. I must also admit that I am addicted to the digital music downloads on Amazon! You can own your favorite song in seconds and if you just like one or two songs on an album, you can choose just those songs. You can find music that you just can’t find on the shelves at stores. So you can see where I am going with this. I created CD’s for each of us with personal favorites and I needed an envelope to present them in.

Tags til Christmas

I just took apart a CD envelope and traced it onto the paper. I needed several envelopes, so I traced the pattern onto a blank stencil sheet and cut it out. Once the envelope is traced and cut, simply score from one side of the flap to the next or use a bone folder to fold in the flaps. I used Dotto repositionable on the top flap, so that it can be re-sealed.

Cello Topper

Spotlight on Christmas

I wanted to make a quick post with a little more detail on the Big Shot.

This cello topper was made using the Top Note Bigs Die.

Very quick little project using the Spotlight on Christmas set and the 5 petal flower punch. The designer paper is trimmed around the perforated edge to make a nice layer.  The flower petals are edged with a gold pen. I wish I had some neat chocolates for the cello bag, but had to settle for york peppermint patties. The good stuff keeps disappearing ……………

Big Shot

This is the Big Shot die cutting machine. The dies roll through the machine which puts pressure on them to cut or emboss the paper.

Big Shot

You will use a die, paper, and cutting mats layered together to form a “sandwich”. Different dies require different sandwich configurations, depending on how thick it is.

Big Shot

This is the pillowbox die after it comes through the machine. Some dies have score or perforation lines.

You can view the dies that are available in the back of the Mini Holiday Catalog by clicking on the link on the right.

Happy Stampin’
