Inspired by Vicky

I have made this box in about 5 minutes flat thanks to the amazing Vicky and her tutorial HERE

This box is just gorgeous and I am going to make them for my Christmas table this year. Mum and I are also going to make our own Bon Bon's (crackers) so I still need to work out what to put in these ones. Any ideas?

The Festival of Prints stack is just genius for this, Vicky. Great job! I have substituted the Bakers Twine for ribbon as bakers twine and I have a love/hate relationship. Today, we weren't the best of friends. I also haven't added a tag - I think I will make personalised ones for each setting at the table. 

Thanks heaps, Vicky and I'm sure everyone will love them!

UPDATE!! THE CADBURY CHOCOLATES IN THE ROLLS ARE PERFECT!!!

IBSIC #27 & JAI #136

After a very humid morning, the clouds are getting darker and I think we are going to get a nice storm this afternoon. It's been a lovely day to do craft especially when my mail came a little earlier than usual and I had a wonderful package arrive from Joanne over at Inspired By Stamping.

Over at Inspired by Stamping there is a colour inspiration challenge. At Just Add Ink you need to make something for kids.

I have actually chosen to make a gift today. Even though we don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia, each year more and more kids do the whole trick 'n treating routine. Last year my 7 neices and nephews all did it and got dressed up to the hilt. So, I decided that instead of being a Halloween scrooge, I would make them up some little lolly boxes using my Simply Scored.

Now, I got a bit gung ho with this one and didn't take photos as I was going. The inside of the box has 3 compartments which I will pop in black jellybeans (Bat Droppings) and other suspicious looking treats ;) The lid really should have been made using a clear window sheet or something similar but all I had was some vellum. It worked really well but you can't see inside the box very well.

I have used the following colours for papers etc - Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla and Real Red. All the stamps are from Inspired By Stamping. I love the sayings on these stamps - for example "Toxic Tonic, Fur of Werewolf & Voodoo Potion" to name just a few. My neices and nephews who range from 9 years old and down are going to love these!! (Now, I have to make another 6!!).

Now, I am off to make another card using these colours as inspiration!
