Hope your all having a good week!!! My hubby has been gone on a business trip for the last few days and the house seems so empty BUT I have manage to really get a lot done. I have been so far behind with everything that it felt good to have my evenings to get these small projects done that I have put off. Yay, feels good!
I also found some time this evening to clean up my craft room a bit AND make a project. Life just can't get much better :) Well, except for that little munchkin (grand-daughter) that we are waiting for....just a couple weeks! I can hardly wait!
I made this cute Halloween gift box from the Wrap it Up cartridge. I cut it fit to page which was 9".
I also cut the spider out 2 more times to pop it up to give it some dimension along with embossing it with the polka dots folder. I took a close up shot so you could see the FUN ribbon and a little more of the details.
I found this super fun lacy ribbon with beads on it at a close out store last year and it's perfect for this box, don't ya think?
I added some Halloween ribbon, tulle, a couple pretty buttons and a sentiment which was from
K Andrew Designs ~ Fall-o-ween set to finish this project up. Hope you like it and I have inspired you to try making one. it went together really quick and I really like the end result! Let me know what you think :)
I am entering this project in the following challenges:
1.) Crafty Ribbons Challenge #4 ~Ribbon and Lace
2.) Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge ~Fancy Trim
3.) My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #30 ~3D Halloween
