Pretty Cute Stamps - September Release Blog Hop!

What a wonderful day! We are finally here!  The September Release blog hop - where we are sharing different projects from the all the new stamp sets! If you came here from the Pretty Cute Stamps blog you are in the right place - If you want to start at the beginning, head back there.

For my project I created a Halloween treat box.  I love making paper boxes, and what better than to be able to fill one with candy?! And speaking of candy, I have some blog candy for a lucky reader, so be sure to read to the end!





I used the brand new Spooktacular Stamp Set! How positively cute is this?! I just love all the options with this set - so many sentiments and oh! those vials of creepy goodness!!




The background paper is from Jillibean Soup.  I bought a 6x6 pad of it and have been loving using it! I made the treat box using the dimensions from this video, and I inked the edges as I went. The ghosts are stamped on watercolour paper and I watercoloured them lightly with Distress Markers, adding some Wink Of Stella clear glitter over top.


I paper pieced the cute witch hat and added Glossy Accents to the buckle and star before popping it up with foam dots. The little faces that come with the set are positively adorable! He looks soooo happy :)


I hand cut the sign, sponged with Distress Ink and then stamped with the same Distress Ink using a woodgrain stamp. I just love this Open If You Dare stamp! Of course you have to open it now!!


Inside, I stamped more batty goodness and added a layer of patterned paper. I hand cut around one of the patterned paper spiderwebs and added a sparkly black brad, allowing the box to stay closed. Who wouldn't want to receive one of these boxes full of treats?!



All these sets are now available in the Pretty Cute Stamps shop.  These new releases will be on sale!! through September 30, 2014! In case you are finding it hard to choose -you can save even more by purchasing them as a New Release Bundle! How cool is that?!


And one more fantastic new thing - These SVG files are new at the Pretty Cute Stamps store! You simply cut them out with your electronic cutter and then line your stamp up over them.... Be still my heart :)

  11. Do you just use cardstock for the paper boxes? Do they hold up? I'd like to try one, super cute!

    1. Hi Sophia, yes, I just used regular cardstock and it's quite sturdy! The box itself is reinforced- you can find the directions by clicking the video link in the post above.
