Candy Wrapper Tricks for Treats: Big Shot Halloween

Have you seen this cute box yet? I love the new Candy Wrapper Big Shot Die from the Holiday Mini Catalog!

Here is a fun version where I came up with a special trick to add the Spider Web Textured Impressions Folder to the box.  **Hint** Use your Decorative Strip Spacer Platform!

These little boxes are a snap to make at home, but it definitely helps to have some tips.  I don’t know about you, but I’m a visual learner, so the Video Tutorials really help me catch the details. (see some of my past Video Tutorials)

**If you’d like to try some of these Candy Wrapper Boxes but don’t have a Big Shot, you’ll want to sign up for my Stamps in the Mail Club.**  One of the September projects is a set of 3 of these cute little boxes, and you’ll receive all the supplies pre-diecut to make the boxes at home.

This video includes the basic box assembly instructions and tips for making them twist and close easily.

Here’s where the Spider Web Embossing Folder makes an appearance, along with details on making the folder work without obscuring the score lines from the Candy Wrapper Box.

“Favorite” New Holiday Mini Catalog Accessory

Want my opinion on the #1 new accessory in the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog? (click here to download your own pdf copy)

The NEW Decorative Label Punch!  It’s a perfect fit for several of the new Holiday Mini stamp sets, plus it’s a terrific size of punch for MANY stamp sets.

**Disclaimer: (don’t take this too literally… I’ll probably have a FEW “#1″ accessories… there are so many cool new items!!)

Here I’ve used it with the new Word Play stamp set and Elegant Lines Embossing Folder from the main catalog–new in July.

This is a fun card size to try– the card stock base is cut 5 x 10″ to fit in the Stampin’ Up! Medium Square Envelopes. You’ll have to pay a bit extra to mail a square card, but the wow-factor is worth it!

If you don’t have your own paper copy of the new Mini Catalog and you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, just drop me an email and I’d be happy to put one in the mail for you. If you have a current Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, you’ll want to ask her (or him) for your copy.
