I can't believe that we are looking at Halloween projects already! This year has flown by and it's still 95F here in Houston!
Do you remember these treat boxes I created a few years ago? I decided to revisit them (since yet again my mojo has walked) and use them as inspiration for todays projects. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THAT 2015 POST |

When I made the green treat box in the Holiday Catalog for out KILTS Team meeting my great friend Leslie mentioned it would be cute as a 'Frankie'. So, with her permission I ran with that idea, taking inspiration from the pillow boxes and I have to admit he's so darn cute! Thank you for the idea Leslie!

There is a list of what I used for this project at the bottom of this post, but to make this treat box I cut one full box from the Takeout Thinlet Dies in Granny Apple Green and trimmed the top tabs off.
Then I cut another box in Black and using scissors I cut a jagged edge around the top making sure I was always about 1/4" from the top.
I then ran a thin line of adhesive around the top of the 'hair' that I had created and glued the black 'top' to the Granny Apple Green 'box base'.
I then punched a couple of circles in white and black and added those for eyes, punched another in Granny Apple Green and sponged the edge then adhered that with a Stampin' Dimensional.
I added the mouth freehand with a Grey Marker.

Can you tell how I made the 'bolts'? Believe it or not - those are pieces from the Christmas Bulb punch!! I punched 2 for each side, rolled up a glue dot between two of them to create a little dimension then glued them on with multipurpose adhesive.

I used the 'mummy' from the pillow boxes as inspiration for my card - it's basic but I think cute - and EASY to replicate! Tear strips of Very Vanilla and sponge the edges with Sahara Sand then glue one layer over another. Punch 2 circles in White, 2 in Vanilla and 2 in Black. Tear the Vanilla ones in half and sponge then glue on top of one another.
I hope you liked my projects....Thanks for stopping by. Click on #2 to hop on for more Holloween ideas!
