Hi Stampin' Friends!
It's Stampin' Royalty Challenge Day! This week's challenge is a picture inspiration challenge:
Here is my inspired Tombstone Treat Box or as I find myself calling it the RIP Treat Box.
As I started making this box my it veared away from the picture a bit. But I loved how it turned out.
Here is a mini tutorial on how to make my Tombstone Treat Box:
1. Cut a Basic Gray piece of card stock to 8" x 11"
2. Score at 2" and 6" on the long side
3. Score at 3" and 8" on the short side, stopping at the 1st intersecting score line. Flip the paper over and repeat this on the opposite side.
4. Again on the short, 8" side, score at 4-1/2" anc 6-1/2", across the entire piece.
5. Cut off the excess.
6. Create the flaps that will hold the box together, by snipping off the corners.
7. Find something round to trace, to round the ends of the box into a tombstone shape. I used a little terra cotta pot that sits on my desk. A large can (28 oz.) would work too. Cut along the traced line.
8. I used Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue to hold my box together, but you could also use sticky strip. Once the box is assembled, sponge the edges with Basic Gray ink. Sponge the center by lightly pouncing an inked sponge on the surface. This will give it more of a stone look.
9. Decorate your tombstone box as you like, fill with goodies and then give it to someone who needs a special treat.
For the "RIP" I use the "BOO" stamp from the Bite Me stamp set. I colored the "B" with a marker for each letter, making it into a "R" and "I" and a "P".
All the stamped images I used are from the Bit Me Photopolymer Stamp set. It's a FUN Halloween stamp set.
Have fun with this simple box and let me know if you make one! I would love to see your creations and share them here!
