Halloween Box in a card

TI'm enjoying making this type of card, and decided to make this one of the class projects next week.  The only difference is that instead of making the little box that fits in the cut out slot, we're going to use the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes as they fit perfectly.

 
The card base is Pumpkin Pie card stock.  A piece of Spooky Night DSP with some Vintage Crochet Trim adhered to the bottom was added to the front.

On the upper left is a stamped image from "Creep it Real" as is the sentiment. Black rhinestones decorate the sentiment.

Notice the spooky black cat with a hat on the upper right.

The treat box is decorated with a strip of pumpkin pie card stock punched with the Ticket Tear Border punch with some vintage crochet trim added to the top of that.  On the lid is a square of Basic Black card stock with a smaller square of DSP.  The insect is non SU.  Some treats are added inside, but one has to be careful not to put too many in the box as it might make the box too heavy.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Creep it Real
Ink:  Black Memento, Basic Gray
Papers:  Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP
Accessories:  Lots of Labels framelits, Clear Tiny Treat Box, Vintage Crochet Trim, Ticket Tear Border punch, Black rhinestones, dimensionals.

Box in a Card

What a neat way to give a card and a present at the same time!!

Design a top folding card, make a notch in one side, and make a gift box to fit in the notch.  Perfect!

I have had  lot of fun making these unusual cards.



I purchased an "all rights reserved"  tutorial from Becky Robert, called  "Twelve Days of Christmas 2016" so I can't share the dimensions of the various card parts or how to put it together.

One thing I can share with you is how I made a box with a see through lid to hold this card,  because obviously it won't fit into an envelope.

Card 1:

The card base is Kraft cardstock with a Whisper White art piece matted with Berry Burst card stock. The stamped images are from "Happy Birthday Gorgeous" with "Timeless Texture" providing some background interest.

The box is made with Foil Frenzy DSP with a Berry Burst lid. On top of the lid is the cute miniature gift bow.

Now, remove the box from the card------


Card 2:

This time I switched up the color to Lucky Limeade to coordinate with the color in the Foil Frenzy DSP.
The images are from "You Move Me"

I will post details about the box tomorrow.
