Hearts & Hugs Box with the Playful Ghosts

 

  
These are cute, little Halloween boxes filled with candy made with the Hearts & Hugs hamster and I used the pumpkin costume from one of the Playful Ghosts.  This idea came from Kathryn Themann, a demonstrator who creates lots of boxes. Since I didn't have any current Halloween DSP, I used the Brights and Regals DSP.   My club members made these on Sunday and got to choose which color they preferred.  They included miniature Twix from Big Lots and Candy Ghosts from Oriental Trading Company


Stamp Sets:  Hearts & Hugs, Playful Ghost

Cardstock:  Pumpkin Pie/Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black, Basic White, 2024-2026 In-Color Glimmer Paper (Peach Pie/Highland Heather), 6” x 6” Brights or Regals DSP

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento

Stampin’ Blends:  Pecan Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Hearts & Hugs Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Tear and Tape Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Black Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The measurement for the Paper Pumpkin box is 7-1/2” x 6-1/4” and scored at ½”, 2-3/4”, 4,” on the 7-1/2” side.  On the 6-1/4” side, score at 1-1/4”. 4-1/4”, 5-1/2”.  Use the Bone Folder burnish each score line.

2.    With the Paper Snips, cut according to the pattern.   


3.    Use the Bone Folder to burnish all of the scored lines.

4.    Use Tear and Tape across ½” side on the left. Remove adhesive.  Fold and then bring the other side to attach to the Tear and Tape.

5.    For the top of the box, fold in the two side flaps.  Round off the corners of the top flap and tuck it into the box.

6.    Fold in the bottom tabs and use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to form the bottom of the box.

7.    Ink up the hamster and the pumpkin ghost on Basic White cardstock.  Die-cut the hamster with the Hearts & Hugs Dies.  Cut out the Pumpkin Body and Hat of the ghost with Paper Snips.  Color them in with the Stampin’ Blends.  Glue the Pumpkin and cap to the hamster with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

8.    Cut the Basic Black cs at 2” x 2-3/4”, Glimmer Paper at   1-3/4” x 2-1/2, and then cut a piece of the DSP using the Perennial Postage die.  Layer together using Black Dimensionals.

9.    Add the hamster with Black Dimensionals.

10.  Cut the DSP for the sides and back at 2” x 2-3/4”, for the sides (2) 1” x 2-3/4”, and top and bottom (2) 1” x 2” and attach with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

11.     You can add a bow if you wish.
