Sorry this post is late!! It's another one of those days I guess....
Anywho - yup I'm releasing another couple of sets this month - BOTH are sentiment sets - y'all will see the 2nd one this weekend - for now I'm peeking the soon-to-be-released Spooky Sentiments set.
I gotta say I am SO happy with how this set turned out. I was happy with it when I made it and sent it off to Christine forever ago - and happy when it got here and I cut it out - but actually inking it up and USING it?? LOVING it!! LOL
SO - this is a set of 22 (23 if you cut one of the stamps apart) stamps that will retail for $8 (yes only EIGHT DOLLARS) - and it will be available along with all the other fab September stamps on Monday Sept 7th at All That Scraps!
Here's what I made:
I decided to use just the Spooky Sentiments set - except for the bat images which are from another CCD set that will be released on the 7th.
I made this set of 3 "boo boxes" (a friend of mine started calling the 2,4,6,8 boxes "boo boxes" years ago when I first showed her how to make them - it always made me laugh - but for these ones it's the perfect name!!) using all SU cardstock (Old Olive, Lovely Lilac and Only Orange) along with CCD White for the labels.
If you don't know what a 2,4,6,8 Box is you can check out this tutorial I did on them eons ago here <-------click!
For the labels I die cut the white cardstock using my Spellbinders Labels 1 die, then stamped the sentiments onto them.
The "Spooky" is one stamp, as is the "treats" and "sweets" stamps (I wanted to be able to mix 'em up!) and the "for you" is one stamp.
I took some black cardstock and used my SU! scalloped edge punch on it then cute it into strips before stamping the "yum yum yum...." stamp onto it with white craft ink (the stamp is just under 4" long - it's a lot of "yums"!!).
I attached those to the bottoms of the boxes - love how that simple touch dressed them up!
Finally I punched holes in the sides of each and added some May Arts ribbon as handles (and I LOVE how that turned out - all my hoarding of ribbon and having to have ALL the colors of certain styles (like this gingham!) just paid off LOL).
I also stamped the small "Happy Halloween" onto little cardstock tags that I die cut with my Tiny Tags CuttleBug die - I spritzed and sponged those as well.
I think this would be such a cute (and cheap! Each box only takes a 1/2 sheet of cardstock and then a few scraps for the labels and strip along the bottom) project to make for my daughter's class this year. If they end up having a Halloween party this year I'll definitely have to make a bunch of these as they're easy to mass-produce!
