Lil' Devil Marci - Trick or Treat Box PLUS Tutorial!

 Here is my first project with a few products from our NEW September Release!  I designed a little Halloween Treat Box.  This is the same style box as I posted HERE.  As you can see, it's very versatile!

Here are simple instructions for my Treat Box:

1. Score a piece of 4" x 12" cardstock at 5 1/4" on each side and fold.  This is your base.

2. Score a piece of 4" x 6" cardstock at 1 1/4" on each side.  Cut on the scored lines as shown:

3. Make a box.

4. Attach the box inside of the base.

- Embellish front as desired.

- Punch a hole and insert the ribbon.

- DONE!  Easy peasy!!!

I used our Lil' Devil Marci for the front of my box.  She is all dressed up and ready for Halloween!  Sentiment is one of the accessory stamps included with Lil' Devil Marci.

I also used our NEW Frightful Fence and Eerie Bats Dies.  Love them both!

I cut the Frightful Fence in two pieces and layered it behind the "hill".

Lil' Devil Marci was colored with Copics:

Skin - E00, E01, E11, E13
Blush - R20, R30, R21
Hair - E02, E08, E17, E18, RV69
Outfit - RV52, RV55, RV66, RV69
Boots - C1, C3, C5, C7, C9

I designed this little Gift Box with one of the stamps from our last release - Bath Time Marci!  This gift box measures 4" x 5 1/2" and is perfect for a small gift for someone special.  Sentiment is from our Garden Bench stamp.

I also used Large Flourish Die and one of the Butterfly dies from our Butterfly Set.

Skin - E00, E93, E11, E13

Believe in Magic! {Altered Canvas}

Ever since we created our Daisy Faerie Marci stamp, I had an idea of making an Altered Canvas with her and I wanted it to look magical!  Not sure how magical my Canvas is, but I really, really, really enjoyed making it and I really, really, really love how it came out!

I painted canvas with acrylic paints in pink, yellow and white and then added some blue and green with bubble wrap.  I cut a doily in half for two corners, and misted it with shimmery glimmer.

Daisy Marci is resting on the Whimsy Mushroom.  Isn't she the CUTEST?!!  Oh, and did you notice those little mushrooms?  They are included with the Whimsy Mushroom stamp!

Daisies are made using our Water Lily Die.  I die cut four sets of flowers and it allowed me to make eight pretty daisies in four different sizes!  Viva Peal pen in Yellow for the centers.  Just perfect!

All the gorgeous leaves are cut from our Large Flourish Die.  I die cut four flourishes, two from green cardstock and two from dotted paper with glitter from Best Creations.

Heart Fence, Butterfly and Rolled Roses (Small&Medium and Large) are our Dies too!

I stamped the words in the sentiment (comes with Daisy Faerie Marci) separately on the ivory cardstock and outlined them with Memento Marker, then cut out.

This Altered Canvas is one of the projects for my upcoming WORKSHOP at Andie's Scrapbooking store in Bakersfield, CA.

When: Saturday, August 11th

10 am to 6 pm

We will also make a Trinket Box, a Gift Box and a few Cards at the Workshop!

It's a FULL day of CRAFTING FUN!

I am so excited about this project!!  I've designed my very own shapes for the pages for this album in my Silhouette!  It is ALL CUSTOM MADE!  I had so much FUN, seriously!  I know I will be doing it again! 

This album has a lot of uses with the sentiment "Life is a Journey".  It can be used for the travel photos and journaling, and/or for any LIFE occasion.

This album features one of our newly released stamps, this is Travel Marci!  LOOOOVE her!!  Paper from Graphic 45.

This is one of the projects for my APRIL Workshop.
