The Cuttlebug Spot Treat Containers


This week at The Cuttlebug Spot the challenge is Halloween treat containers (or any other kind if you don't happen to celebrate Halloween). First I used my Stampin' Up Bigz L Candy Wrapper Die (Thanks Lillie!) that is a bit too wide to work in the Cuttlebug so I used my Big Shot. Then I embossed them with the Tim Holtz (on the purple and green ones) and Cuttlebug (the orange) Spiderweb folders and inked them all with Black Soot Distress Ink.
The spiders are from the Cuttlebug Creepy combo that I heat embossed in layers to make them shiny and added adhesive rhinestones. The leather twine is from WalMart.

For some added fun I used my Cricut to cut the nut cup from the TBBM cartridge and used Design Studio to cut out a face from the Pumpkin Carving cart. This is my favorite face but after seeing it cut I wish I'd used green because he sort of looks like Frankenstein to me. Oh well, I added some green hair instead and a handle of twisted chenille stems. On the back of the cup I cut "Boo" also from Pumpkin Carving. Both sides were embossed with the Tim holtz Cracked folder. There's some fabulous stuff going on at The Cuttlebug Spot so be sure and check out the fun creations by my Design Team sisters. There's also a wonderful prize from The Craft Barn to be won so we invite you to play along.

  9. Hey lady!
    This is SO cool and I was really surprised about the spiders because they really looked so 3D that I thought they were charms, or rings or something! This is all super cool! And the nut box with the face..love that!

  11. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! The spiders are AMAZING! They look just like the little store bought ones. You didn't say how many layers you had to use to get the effect but I bet it was a bunch! Amazing!
