This cute image is from Trick or Treat by Red Rubber Designs. I made a fun card with this July new release stamp set. The image is colored with Copic markers. The background patterned paper is Amelia from RRD. I added a Antique Triangle Loop with ribbons to the image.
I even stamped the inside of the card. The background is stamped with Jardin Moss Palette ink. The spider is suspended on a wobble spring which makes it bounce up and down when the card is opened.
Challenges:
Here are some ideas for fall. These are treat boxes called One Sheet Box made by scoring an 8.5x11 cardstock. (Tutorial for the box is at the bottom of this post). I added some stamped images from Red Rubber Designs Trick or Treat and Halloween Fun. All the images are colored with Copic markers. The background cardstock is Amelia patterned cardstock by RRD.
Here's another image from Halloween Fun. I colored some white brads with Copic markers to get the desired color. It also has an office clamp for the closure and a ribbon. The saying is from Trick or Treat.
The last treat box is made with green cardstock and also has Amelia patterned cardstock. I distressed the edges of the cardstock and also the white cardstock on which the image is stamped. I added some Pointed Turn Mounts which I colored with Copic markers to match the box. the closure is a green Spiral Clip tied with a ribbon.
Would you like to know how I made these little boxes. Here is a quick tutorial to show you how to fold an 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock into a box.
1. Place cardstock on scoring board (Scor-Pal, Martha Stewart, etc), aligned vertically to the left side of the board. Score at 2 1/2 and 6 inches.
2. Turn cardstock horizontally on the board and score at 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 inches.
Using the ruler on the long side of the board, make a light pencil mark 2 inches from the corner. Repeat on all corners.
Fold the score marks to the inside. Line up the first score intersection with a line on the scoring board. I used the 5 inch line. Unfold the cardstock. Make sure you keep the score intersection on the 5" groove and line up your 2" mark on the same groove. Score from the intersection to your mark to create a diagonal score. Repeat on all four sides.
Fold all score lines and your box will look like the above.
Fold it together and clip it, and there you have a treat box ready to decorate. Be sure to unfold it to do any stamping or to add embellishments.
