Creepy Coffin Treat Boxes

Hello everyone!  Time for another creation using the fantastic files from Simply Crafty SVGs. I chose the Creepy Coffin Treat Boxes for this months post.  I continue to be amazed with the creative files that Sandy comes up with.  This file is so easy to use.  I enlarged it to almost 6" tall.  Putting them together was a breeze!  Here they are...

I learned my lesson.  If something is black, don't photograph it on black.

I cut out a simple bat shape and put names on each.  I had to come up with
a way to make a Creepy Coffin Box for a girl.  I think I nailed it.

On each of the long sides I picked out some paper that kinda matched the front.

And here is the beauty shot.  I had to get some candy.  So I chose Reeces
Peanut Butter Cups (they are the bob's favorite)  {my chocolate stash is hidden}.

So I hope you have a wonderful not to spooky Halloween.  I hope this year to give out lots of candy.  My neighborhood has a lot of new young families.  So we shall see!

On The Farm with Southern Girls Challenge!

Hello everyone!

This blog post is going to be very short.  I have gotten a sinus infection.  I think the weather getting very cold has a lot to do with it.  Need to put a big pot of water on the stove and get some moisture in the house. 

This Southern Girls Challenge theme is 'On The Farm'.  The image I am using is from Colour of Love by Heather Valentin.  It is called Peace Possum.  Now this darling Peace Possum lives on the farm spreading peace wherever she visits.  Here is my creation.

Please click on the pic to see all the details.

I think every farm has to have a lot of ants.

I don't know what this card will be for yet.  So i left the inside blank.

This is the back.  My initial is a vellum sticker sheet.

So that is my project for October 3, 2019.  Team Trace will be back for October 29 with another challenge.  Hope you can play along!

Bright Blessings,   

A birthday card for ???

Hello all my crafties!   I needed to make a birthday card for a special someone.  I try to out do myself each year.  This year I really have done it.  This is called an Square Exploding Box.  I found this SVG file from Simply Crafty SVG's.
Here is the link:  https://www.simplycraftysvgs.com/shop/3d_designs/square-explosion-box/

I have to warn you.  This post is very picture heavy. 

Just starting to cut out the file.  I use Make The Cut software and my KNK Zing.

I fell in love with this paper.  It's nice and stiff.

Here are the 4 layers to the square exploding box. 
(I decided not to use the aqua paper in the final project).

Let's Decorate!  The Square Exploding Box File has the toppers for each
layer.  I chose to double the paper so that both front and back are decorated.
The paper I have used was found at a thrift store.  50 sheets for 3 dollars. 
These papers all coordinated beautifully.  So this is the outside of the
square exploding box.

This is the Aqua middle section.

The other side of the Aqua section.

This is the 3rd layer and is light grey.

The other side of the 3rd layer.

Here is the Square Exploding Box with the top on.

Here is the completed box with the lid on.

I've taken the lid off and the box is exploding!

Now you can see the box is fully exploded.

Just a nice beauty shot of my project.

Well I finally got blogger to play nice again.  Got the pics and the captions completed.  I will have to show you the finished project next month after the special occasion.  

Until then,
