Starburst Autumn Expressions card

 

Here is a fun starburst dsp layout I did on these cards.

I love the way they turned out!

Both of these cards are exactly the same except for the 

color of the layer that the DSP is attached to.

 

Which do you like better?

THIS- the Basic White layer?

OR 

THAT- the Boho Blue layer? 

Check out the pattern I made to show you how I made this starburst.

How did I do it?

* 3 1/2 x 4 3/4" DSP

*Cut it horizontally at 1 3/4".

*Cut it vertically at 2 3/8".

*Then diagonally cut each of the 4 rectangles.

*Notice how I cut 2 of them diagonally from top left side downward.

AND

*How I cut the other 2 diagonally from the top right side downward.

 *You will they layer these 8 rectangles onto a 4 x 5 1/4" card stock layer.

Here is the Basic White card stock layer card.

Haunted Halloween Humble Home Book Pull Out Treat Box

 

Oh wow......this is such a cute little Halloween Treat Box!

 I love the way it turned out!

This is one of the projects that everyone will be making 

at my upcoming Halloween Classes.

 

I used the 

#164048- Book Treat Boxes= $10.00

 * 10 stampable boxes
* Folded box size: 3" x 4" x 1" (7.6 x 10.2 x 2.5 cm)
* Food safe

*Tear & Tape is already applied.

*Just fold on scored lines & put together quickly

*Decorate the top

Here is how I made my pull out treat box!

 As I modified my box so that it is a drawer pulls out.

This is the inside of the box cover. 

The Tear & Tape adhesive strips are already on it for you.

I added a 3 x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock over the Tear & Tape strips.

Now close the box lid, peel off the Tear & Tape on the "tab"

& adhere this to the box top as I have noted in the photo above.

Now adhere a 3 x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock onto the box top.

NOTE:  This is what the box looks like when it is stuck shut 

by adhering the 'tab' to the box top,

before you adhere the Basic Black cardstock over the top of it.

This is what the 'box' now looks like.

It is open on both ends so that I can add the 'drawer' to it 

& it will pull out!

The box looks like this from the side when the front is decorated.

This is what it looks like when the pull out "drawer" is slid into the box.

So what do you think?

Neat huh!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp sets:  'Playful Ghosts' (words); 'Humble Home' (house)

card stock:

• Basic Black- 3 x 4"
  
• Basic Black- 3 x 4"
