Monsters

I've made some little treat holders for Halloween and I've decorated this trio with some mini monsters!  The papers are actually a Christmas pad, but they felt appropriately spooky so I hope no-one will notice any stray snowflakes!  I've made quite a few of these boxes (gave myself a blister on my finger cutting them all out with my craft knife) so I may share some more between now and the end of the month, once I decide how to decorate them all as I didn't fancy them all the same.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Meljens
• Colouring - Alcohol Markers
• First Edition Gilded Winter papers
• 3mm "Chocolate Purple" Satin Ribbon

I've been inspired by:

• Simon's Monday Challenge - The Monster Mash
• Deep Ocean Challenge - Halloween
• Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Wrap it Up

Happy crafting

Boxing Clever

The theme today at Top Tip Tuesday is to make a box, and there's also a tutorial on how to make a 6-sided box.  So I've had a go at making one.  It's a bit different and really looks great when it's made. It's also much more simple to make than it looks as the template is quite easy to make.

Hope you like my purple gift box.

Snow Bunny

It's the letter 'U' at the ABC Christmas Challenge which is 'Up to you'.  Effectively and 'anything goes' but you need to ensure it is Christmas themed.

We're sponsored by Meljens so I've used Snow Bunny which is an image that I've had for a long time, but not got around to using yet.

Here he is (be prepared for a little bit of pink) ...
