EEEK! I'm excited to announce that I've been invited to be a part of the The Cat's Pajamas Design Team! I am thrilled to be joining this fabulous team and I'm itchin' to get down and dirty creating some fun projects with their awesome stamps, dies and embellishments! This month, I'm joining the team in sharing some projects created with the newest additions to the TCP collection and they're all about the upcoming holidays! WAHOO!
I created a fun little Halloween gift container featuring the new "Halloween Tag Duo" die set. It's a fabulous little die collection and I know you'll be itchin' to create something fun with it too. Take a peek at this fab die set!
Today I'm sharing a little tutorial on how I created this fun little dimensional treat container. It's quick and simple and requires just a few supplies!
Step 1: I diecut the frame out of some dark gray cardstock. Two of the frames were also diecut with the web insert. I saved the extra "parts" to add to my project later.
Step 2: I cut a piece of magenta cardstock for the base. 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches was the perfect size. Using some double sided multiliner tape, I mounted the gray panels on the magenta square as shown below. I made sure to test out the alignment to make sure the edges would connect perfectly before adding the tape. I chose to use double sided tape so that I could add a clear insert on the inside.
Step 3: I attached tape to each edge and connected the side panels to each other to create a little vessel. When the "vessel" was complete, I set out to work on the inside.
Step 4: Next, I folded a clear card envelope in half placed my die on top and ran them through my die cutting machine. This allowed me to create four perfectly clear inside panels. I attached these panels to the inside by pressing them securely over the double stick tape.
Step 5: The final step is always my favorite! The DECORATING! I selected some sparkly green tissue paper and placed that inside the container. I filled it up with some yummy white gumballs (I would also recommend some eyeball gumballs for extra smiles). After it was filled to the brim, I attached some pretty satin magenta ribbon and threaded it through the holes of the solid diecuts. I tied them securely with a bow and then added some fun sequined and tinseled ribbon. I also added that little spider on the top for some EEEEEKY fun!
