Here’s my Kid Friendly Halloween card in a box:
My daughter’s favorite holiday is Halloween, with everything else tying for second. I made this card in a box as just one of her Halloween cards for this year.
I found this video from Wendy Cranford for the tutorial for this rectangle card in a box. Her directions are so easy to follow. The first time I watched the video straight through. Then watched and paused it as needed when I was creating my own box.
I realized I didn’t have any more Pumpkin Pie 6 x 6 inch DSP for the bottom sections of the card, so I embossed some Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the (retired) 3D Brick embossing folder. I was also running low on the Gorgeous Grape DSP, so I had to. use two different patterns for the flaps.
As always with fun folds, I will be adding this to the gallery for the Creative Creases Challenge.
What I Did:
- In addition to the measurements given in the tutorial, I trimmed a piece of Gorgeous Grape DSP to 2-1/2 by 6 inches for the envelope flap
- Then, I punched a 1-inch circle from coordinating DSP for the envelope seal and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker
- I only used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all the pieces. It’s already a bulky card, and dimensionals would’ve made it bulkier, which would cause a problem with mailing.
- I used the Potions & Spells bundle along with a Nested Essentials die for this card in a box
- Anything that needed to be colored I stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock
- I colored the parrot using Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake blends
- The eyes for the cat are Granny Apple Green, and the cat itself was colored using the Smoky Slate blends.
- I used Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape, and Crumb Cake blends for the book stack, then outlined them with a Basic Black marker
- I wanted to add some depth to the broom, so I cropped and adhered two layers of brooms together
- After cropping the broom from Crumb Cake cardstock, I colored and outlined it using Crumb Cake blends and marker
- I colored the cauldron with Smoky Slate blends and the light Black blend
- Then, I cropped the potion bottle and goopy piece from Granny Apple Green cardstock then I. used a blending brush and ink to add texture
- All the sentiments come from the Potions & Spells stamp set and stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green
- I cropped the front sentiment using a Nested Essentials die, and the back sentiment using a deckled rectangle die
- With that, I’d finished this coordinated card in a rectangle box, envelope, and envelope seal
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
