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

Hugs!!!

Skeleton Luka BOO!

BOO!!  Nope Luka, you are too CUTE to scare anyone!!  Hehehe ;-)

This is one of the projects for my SEPTEMBER Workshop this coming Sunday!!  To see other projects for this WORKSHOP please click HERE.

SEPTEMBER Workshop is scheduled for:

Sunday, September 25th

10 am to 6 pm

at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA

This Workshop is by invitation only.  If you would like to attend but did not receive an Evite invitation from me, please email me at irina_ca@msn.com and I will add you to my email list.

This card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".

I sponged clouds using the cloud border from my Buccaneer Card that I made yesterday as a template.  See the texture on the tree?  I didn't do anything special, it is just the texture of the chipboard showing after I added distressed inks to the die cut.  I also distressed May Arts green ribbon by rubbing Vintage Photo ink pad directly onto the ribbon - photos don't do it the justice, it is so shimmery and gorgeous in real life!!

This card measures 6" x 6".

I have been practicing coloring folds and pleats and Witch Marci's dress is just perfect for this technique!! This technique is certainly not one of those things when you would say that it looks easier than it looks, in fact I think in this instance it is actually much harder than it looks and sure takes a lot of time and practice!!

The other new thing for me on this card - paper pleats!!  What fun!!  I should do this more often as it adds so much more texture to the project than a flat border.

Papers: Black and Craft Cardstock by Bazzill, Pink Paisley DP, Echo Park DP

Tools: Scor-Pal, TH Tree, Spellbinders Circle and Oval Nestabilites, Martha Steward Leaf and Fence Punches, EK Success Flower Punches
