Batty Fry Boxes

Hello and welcome back.....

I have been having a lot of fun making boxes, the Fry Box Die and the Curvy Keepsake Die have certainly had a lot of use and I hope they never retire them.......ever!
Today I have some Batty Fry Boxes to share with you, you may remember I made some cute/scary little Halloween Cards last year... Well I made some more and the little bats I made using the Bitty Butterfly punch gave me an idea...

Instead of making bags of treats I thought I would make Bat Boxes using the Fry Box....

I cut out the boxes using the Fry Box Die and Basic Black Cardstock and assembled them...

Then to make the wings I lay the box on a piece of scrap and drew a Bat shaped wing on the paper. I cut it out and used it as a template to cut out the wings in Basic Black card. Then I scored across and concertina folded the wing to give it a bit of movement and adhered it to the back of the box.

I cut out some eyes using the wing from the Bird Builder Punch. (see previous post HERE for details) then I attached them to the front of the box...

I filled some bags with popcorn and popped them in the boxes. I am going to make these for the Trick or Treaters that come a Knocking on my door...but filled with Horribo... oops I mean Haribo...lol

Well I hope you like my little Bat Boxes, thanks for stopping by...

Halloween/Autumn Double Fry Box

Hello and welcome back......

I was visiting Pattys Stamping Spot and saw this double Fry Box one of her team had created for Halloween and loved the idea so decided to recreate it.. however I don't really have much in the Halloween line as now my children have grown up and we don't really do much for Halloween any more....
Now I'm a bit of a hoarder, so I knew I had an old Stampin'Up Stamp Set with Halloween Pumpkins on somewhere so I dug it out......

The Fry Boxes are stamped with the Hardwood Stamp in Pumpkin Pie Ink before they are assembled ....

You then stick two Fry Boxes back to back, but because of the shape they won't go flat so you need to make side pieces to cover the join, check out Patty's tutorial on the link above.

Did you know that in America you can get Chocolate M&M's which taste like Candy Corn!!!!
and for a Candy Corn addict like myself they are to die for....lol.   We visited the M&M's store in New York and I came away with an enormous bag full and I still have a few left!!!

For those not in the Know Candy Corn is a big thing in America especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving time. It's very sweet and moreish, I love it but I know it's not everyones cup of tea as we say in England....lol  Apparently many Americans hate the stuff....go figure?

Anyway I made three of the double fry boxes and decorated them subtly Halloweeny by adding a little pumpkin held on with a tiny peg..

Then I made two single Fry Boxes which I decorated with leaves which I cut using the Leaflets Framelits.

I even stamped on some Tissue Paper to match...
MMMMMmmmmm well I'm all set for Halloween...yum yum...

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by....

Sweet Treats Fry Box

Hey there and welcome back..

I have been playing with the Stampin'Up Fry Box Die and I made these little treat bags/boxes...

I used the New In Colours card and ink and the stamp set Flower Patch, the sentiment is from the set Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

I cut out 2 Fry Boxes in each colour, then I cut off the smaller side leaving the longer side and the bottom on each piece. I then Punched an oval out of each piece using the medium oval punch,( you can do 2 at a time so you get them identical).

I glued the bottoms together and then I stamped the flowers onto the card. Then to finish  I glued the sides.

Then all you need to do is add some treats tied up with bakers twine and a bow made with the matching In Colour Dotted Lace Trim.

 Mint Macaron

Delightful Dijon

Cucumber Crush

Watermelon Wonder

Tip Top Taupe

If you buy the Cardstock and Ink Pads together you save £6.50, so you are buying the ink pads and getting the cardstock free....bargain..lol


I hope you like my little treat bags/boxes, thanks for stopping by...

Easter Treats using the Stampin'Up Fry Box Die.

Hey There welcome back to Easter Treats part 2

These treat boxes have been made with Stampin'Ups Fry Box Die (132966)..

 These cute little Bunny Boxes are just right for holding a bag of chocolate eggs. 

 They are so easy to make, the face and ears of the bunny are all made using Stampin'Up punches.

 The eyes are 3/4"(119873) and 1/2" (119869)circle punches, the cheeks 1" (119868)circle punch, the nose is the heart from the Itty Bitty punch pack (133787). The ears have been made using the Extra Large (119859) and Large (119855) Oval Punches.

 I used the beautiful Venetian Crochet Trim (134581)on the cellophane bags (102757). A little piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262) holds the Happy Easter Tag in place. And Voila cute Easter Treats any child or adult would be happy to receive.

 These cute treat boxes have a gorgeous Punchart Bunny on the front of the Fry Box.

Come back tomorrow to find out how to make these cute Punch Art Bunnies.
