Pumpkin Fall - Partial Inlaid Die cutting Technique

I thought I would try a new technique today - Inlaid Die Cutting Technique.  The pumpkins and their leaves were done using this technique. This video outlines this technique from beginning to end.

• I used the Hardwood background stamp with Soft Suede ink on Very Vanilla cardstock for the background
• The stamp set "Fall Fest" and its coordinating framelits was used to inlay the pumpkins and the leaves.
• The leaves were die cut in Very Vanilla, coloured with various ink colours, scrunched up and adhered to a linene thread swag at the top of the card.
• The grass was made using the scallop border punch.

Halloween Stepper Box (aka Fantasy Box)

This box is easy to make and really has a wow factor when sold at a craft show or given as a gift.  I have made many of these boxes so I could probably make them in my sleep.  But for those of you who have never made one, and would like to, here is a link to a tutorial  
The tutorial indicates to cut the paper for the cover at 6 by 6".  That's too small.  Cut it at 7 by 7"

Last night I made a box for Christmas, and one for Halloween.  This is the box for Halloween.  The box is not only fun to make, but fun to decorate.

This is a close up of the decoration on the lid of the box.

The inside of the box reveals a tier of 4 decorated boxes.  The images were cut from the designer paper and adhered to the inside.  The sentiment on the front of the boxes is from a retired Halloween stamp set and so are the googly eyes.
