Witchy Kitty Giftie

It's exciting to be a part of the VLVS DT!  With Halloween in just a couple of weeks, I thought why not use my Pound O' Rubber for a giftie project.  VLVS has such a HUGE variety of stamp images, and chose to create a useful, fun, Trick or Treat container. What is funny is that I chose the kitty design first, made the project in the french fry box, then found the fry saying!  I love being a little strange at times, and this saying worked perfectly!!!

Pound O' Rubber

Trace or die cut french fry container shape.  Using an electric die cutter and software, you can create any size container you want.  Use the bone folder to score in the appropriate areas to create the creases to fold the container.  Use Miracle Tape on two flaps and adhere box together (see image below) .

Miracle Tape is Fabulous!!!!  Had to mention this because I've been frustrated with other liner tapes in the past.  Look at the blue handle for ease of application and cutting.  You pull back, and viola', the tape is cut.  The best part is the hold and flexibility.  I can remove the liner with the flick of my nail and it comes off easily and the tape is stuck to my project!  I can line up my sides without the tape accidently sticking before I want it to, there's give so there's no hassle.

Once the fry container is finished, stamp the kitty stamp on light gray cardstock.  Color with Gelly Roll pens and cut out.  Color the background so when you cut, you have a bright background for contrast.  Stamp the fry words on the green cardstock and cut with decorative scissors.  For the scallop, you may have some in your stash of collage/scrapping materials or you can use your cutting machine to make one.  Use the Miracle Tape to assemble the elements as seen in the photo above.

The last step was to add a little glitz, and Halloween sparkle to the project.  Miracle Tape comes in several widths - run a line of tape on each side of the container (choose how wide or thin you want the line) and add glitter.

If you are looking for great decorative paper, one of VLVS's sponsors is The Robin's Nest.  Here is a fry container I made using their Halloween Stripe paper.  Heavy weight cardstock with glitter and patterns to delight all.  Stop by their blog and take a look.

Ok, candy isn't for me on Halloween, I could lose some weight, ha ha ha.  So I'd rather rack up the pounds in rubber - this is the giftie I want!

I look forward to sharing more ideas and projects with you, hope you have enjoyed this one.  Be sure to check my blog, and always see what goodies VLVS has on its website.
