Halloween Pencil Boxes with Miss Kate Cuttables

I have a fun 3D project! These will be great items to give to your favorite "Trick or Treater" or for school party gifts. These can be used for any holiday. Pencils are very inexpensive and they come in all different holiday patterns. Check out your favorite dollar store for them. Not to mention it makes writing fun!!
 

 
Before we start, don't forget to get the "DAILY FREEBIE" over at Miss Kate Cuttables.

I used Miss Kate Cuttables Pattern Paper pack called "October 31st". There are a TON of papers to choose from. (Even digital ones so you can make as many as you want and never run out of paper. Just print and cut!) I have made the cut file following the instructions from the internet. (If you would like me to send you the svg cut file, please send me your email address in the comments below.)
 

I just mounted my favorite paper on the mat and used my file to cut the svg. This file makes 6 pencil cases on one 12x12 sheet of paper. You can modify the amount before you cut if you would like less boxes.

Add adhesive to the top of the decorative paper flap on the left and fold up to make a box. Add liquid adhesive to the flaps at the bottom to fold up to make a box. I folded the one long flap first added some glue on that flap as well as the two sides and folded them in and lastly folded the last long flap to seal it all together.

You are done with the box assembly, now on to the fun part......DECORATING!!

I cut some fun Halloween files from Miss Kate Cuttables to decorate the rest of my pencil boxes. I used "Stacked Jack-O-Lanterns" and "Green Halloween Monster".

Use what you have to add some fun: ribbons, bows, die cuts, glitter, flocking, stamping.....the ideas are unlimited!! Remember, you can make these for any holiday just by changing out the paper and decorations. (I plan on making a lot more!!)

 This is what the box looks like plain. You can leave it like this or add decorations.

This is the back and side of the box with the decorations on it.

Please leave me some pics of your projects when you finish them in the comments below!

Happy Halloween and Happy Crafting!!

Halloween Fun

These fast and easy Halloween cards are great when you don't have a lot of time but want a cute card. I used some simple die cuts I purchased at Michael's a few years back from their Recollection line for the front. I popped the pumpkin and tag up with dimensional foam squares. On the inside I used files from the silhouette store. The pop up elements make the card fun and it looks like you spent hours making it, but in fact it only takes a few minutes!

 

I added a few more die cuts from the same collection on the inside, glued googlie eyes on the spider and some clear wink of stella to the words "Trick or Treat". The card base was some double sided paper from my stash. 

  

Another card using the same die cut set. I cut the moon out of yellow paper and inked the edges with some orange ink. Added the googlie eyes to the witch die cut and glued to the moon with dimensional squares.



 

This is another silhouette pop up file.
