milk carton treat house

happy saturday :) i made a milk container treat container. i saw this somewhere just dont remember, seem slike a stampin up site..sorry to the original poster that i cant remember. if i find it again ill post the link.
im entering this into a couple of challenges
DLART: december linky party :anything goes
The Kraft Journal:anything goes

i started with a milk carton file from the cutting cafe. which i printed and cut out onto kraft cardstock which can be purchased at the kraft outlet. (link on my sidebar plus you can get there through the link on their blog which is linked in the first part of this post.) i used my cricut and storybook cartridge scallops cut in half for the door and for the wreath over the door.. joys of the season for the trees. a punch for the snowflakes.
i was trying to make this gingerbreadish  looking im going to add a gingerbread boy tag, i forgot to add that to the photo,  sorry.    im going to give this to my daughter filled with some mothers brand gingerbread cookies she loves these things something crazy. im going to add the extra topper that comes wit this file fornow i just used a clothespin to hold it shut until the cookies get dumped inside. then ill staple or glue it shut.

heres one of the sides. i used an ek success scallop punch for the snow mounds and also for the roof.

i also used the scallop punch for the shingles. i covered them in chunky glitter, my new found best friend this season ;) 

thanks so much for looking your sweet comments always make me smile, thank you for that too :)
have a crafty day :) xxxshelly

whimsical wednesdays no tricks just treats!

happy wednesday!  this week over at whimsical wednesday were to create a bag or box thats a fun way to wrap up treats. i couldnt make up my mind on just one thing so i made several. this is going to be a bit picture heavy so thanks in advance for sticking it out :)

before i show you what i came up with i wanted to  let ya know we have 2  sponsors this week. wow huh! each will be giving away some fun  to one random winner each

we have 

 regina from   the cutting cafe offering up 3 files of your choice  of her awesome digi goodness

 patsy from prairiebirdboutique sponsoring us with some amazing crinkle ribbon. one random winner will get to choose a ribbon bundle

ok now on to my projects... all the tags and ribbons are from the cuttin cafe and prairiebirdboutique. included colorbox fluid chalk too.

this is a gift for my daughter. this is one of those sweet test tube holders. i found the directions on splitcoaststampers. my bestest rose( <~~~ go check hers out) and i got together and made these. the soap bottle is from target already decorated.

 the cute as evuh sticker is from EAD designs , way cute vinyl  stickers! 

this creepy spider also from ead designs. 









                                             the next one

for this lil altered lunch bag i used my cuttlebug and cut a marquee image on the front of the bag then added some acetate. the bat is from my cricut and hello kitty cartridge.

  

i used a stamp from justritestampers (witch way to the treats set) all over the bag. 

 

next.....

i used a glassine bag for this. the cute lil ghostie is from my cricut and paperdolls cartridge.

 the candy corn are printables from the cutting cafe set too.

just a side view i just glued the ghost and candy onto the front of the bag. 

and last but not least........

here i used one of reginas fun lil milk carton printables from her halloween/fall milk carton set. i dont own the programs that you can cut these with so i did it by hand.very easy except this particular set has cut outs. i didnt want to mess up the sweet leaf that is on this so instead i used my cuttlebug and made a leaf then adhered it where the original leaf cut is. a duh moment after i had this assembled already was that i may have been able to run this thru my c/bug with my die cut therefore getting a cut image in the carton. the leaves are almost exactly alike. ill have to try that out later.

i think it turned out pretty using another tag that i distressed a tad

from reginas set behind the leaf tho.. i used colorbox fluid chalk and colored in the leaf then added distress stickles. i also added some rhinestones around it. did a little dot  doodling on the box and added a button.

just wanted to show that the tag can be prettied up too. this is the same tag used on the test tube project. i covered the circle sentiment with the crocheted flower.and  added a few little extras.

i added the beautiful crinkle ribbon ( it has a little glimmer to it that i cant capture with my cam )

i cut the heart from aida cloth with my c/bug. some tulle ( i think thats how thats spelled ;) ) twine, lil flower. raffia and a felt leaf.

well i sure hope ya stayed with me this long :) thanks so much for visiting and i hope ive inspired you to play along with us this week and share with us some of your treat wraps :) 
have a super day! xxxshelly
