Halloween Coffin Treat Box

 

This project is made using a new Quickutz Silhouette design download, I hope it isn’t too ghoulish for you.

The template is in two pieces and looked quite simple but to be honest was quite fiddle to put together.

The bat was originally a ring (I cut off the back) from a bag of assorted bits from Poundworld.

The plate is a piece of gold card that I have written on with a pen with no ink in.

And then I have finished the edges with a white gel pen, which just has to be one of the best pen inventions for crafters of all time!

The sweets are “Graveyard Rock” from Poundland!

What’s In My Shopping Bag Wednesday

A quick trip to Poundworld last Friday resulted in me  finding these plastic moulded stickers,

I’ve been asked to do a few more children’s cards for my box and these will be ideal as they cover such a range, from mermaids and princesses to farms, trucks and dinosaurs.

They also had this set of puffy material alphabet stickers, I find some of the cheaper sets of alphabets only have one of each letter in a pack, there is an extra set of vowels in this one plus an extra H and N.

My friend Lisa (Craftfairy)  popped over on Monday night  with some Stampin’ Up stuff I had ordered, plus an wooden angel she found at the bottom of a rummage bin in Hobbycraft for 25p.  She said if I’d have been with her I’d have nabbed it, and she was right!

She also bought me some ribbon with French sentiments on which I am thrilled with and some candy bead necklaces for a girlie idea I am trying to put together.

I’d ordered a Stampin’ Up 1 3/4 in circle punch plus some ink refills for a couple of Stampin’ Up rollers I had for my birthday (but no ink)

Guess what I am gearing up for ……..?????
