Santa Claus Fry Box

Hello my crafty peeps!

Last Friday was "Fabulous Friends, Pizza and Stamping" at my place and we made 4 Christmas boxes.  I have already shown you the Elf Fry Box but today I will go over the Santa one, I found the idea and video on Pinterest.

I made very similar to the other treat boxes I made last week. 

1. Real Red CS cut in half at 5.5", I also die-cut  the belt with Basic Black CS using the Fry Box Die.  
2. Position a 1/2" strip of Basic Black over the center of the box front, and run it through the Big Shot.  To make the Belt Details, adhere the die-cut belt with Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip.  Punch a Petite Curly Label shape or square from Silver Glimmer Paper, then pop up with Dimensionals.  Add a 1/2" square of Basic Black over the center of the buckle with Glue Dots.
3. To make the Santa we die cut his hair/hat fur with the Wonderful Wreath die on Whisper White CS and the Mustache die. Then we used the large oval punch to cut out his face out of Blushing Bride CS.  Using the Owl punch we also cut out 2 circles for the nose and mouth out of Blushing Bride and a small circle out of Real Red.  If you chose not to use google eyes, you would make the eyes with the Owl punch as well.
4. Using the 2" circle punch cut out a peice of Real Red CS for the hat which is glued to the back of the Whicper White CS wreath cut out.
5. Now assemble your face, we started by attaching the moustache with pop up with Dimensionals. Then the nose, mouth and finally the eyes.   We inked the nose, and face to give it some dimension, I also used the Stampin Write marker for some eyebrows.

ELF Fry box

Hello my crafty peeps!

I am trying to stay off social media and do a bit more crafting! I woke up to SNOW this morning, making it a perfect time to snuggle under a blanket and sit in my craft room.  Friday we are having a Fabulous friends, pizza and Stamping night, hoping to make a few great christmas boxes.

One we hope to make is this little ELF fry box! 

I made very similar to the Frankenstien treat box I made last week. 

1. Garden Green CS cut in half at 5.5", I also die-cut the collar out of Whisper White CS and the belt with Basic Black CS using the Fry Box Die.  
2. Position a 1-1/4" wide strip of Whisper White over the box border and a 1/2" strip of Basic Black over the center of the box front, and run it through the Big Shot.
3. To make the Belt Details, adhere the die-cut belt with Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip.  Punch a Petite Curly Label shape from Silver Glimmer Paper, then pop up with Dimensionals.  Add a 1/2" square of Basic Black over the center of the buckle with Glue Dots.

Halloween Fry Boxes - Frankenstein

Hello my crafty peeps!

I have been on pinterest (addictated) and am noticing a trend to create punch art creatures with the Fry Box die and the Curvy Keepsake Box die.  I am slowly starting to try them out.

Today I am working on a Frankenstein fry box for a friends son,  and hopefully a Pumpkin fry box for her daughter Caitlyn.

To make the hair for Frankenstein, cut a 1 1/2″ strip of Basic Black on the Fry Box die at the top of the front flap and simply snip a ragged edge. 

These fry boxes are easy to construct, and a 4″x6″ cello bag fits nicely inside.  I think part of the fun of giving a handmade gift is in the packaging.  It makes a little something just a little more special.

 I used screw brads for the ear

I used glow in the dark glitter on eyes and mouth.

Minions!!! Stampin' Up! Fry Box

" OOOOHHH PATI ARRR TAAAAHHH BAAAH! "  ~ Evil Kevin

Hello my crafty peeps!  

Today I have been working on my friends birthday card and treat box, she loves the minions, purple and we plan on going to the movie on opening day, so what better to make than MINIONS!!

The Evil Minions are very different from regular Minions: having purple skin, long hairy arms, wild frizzy purple hair that spreads out like a mane, and big sharp crooked teeth.

I used the Fry Box Bigz L Die to make these adorable items for my friends birthday.   The final products measures 3" x 1 1/2" x 3 1/2".   I used Perfectly Plum cardstock, then made teeth with whisper white cardstock.  I had some treat cups that I used for the eyes and I bought purple fluff for the hair.

Hope you like what I came up with!

Hugs, Karen
