Creative Challenge Boo Box

 

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

 

It is day 6 of Halloween week on the blog and ALSO Creative Challenge Saturday with 

my good friend Wendy from WeeBeeStampin4Fun.

 

I love Vintage Halloween items, really all vintage items. I do collect a lot of vintage Christmas and Halloween items and when I saw a photo of some vintage pumpkins I thought I would try and recreate one.

 

This is what my pumpkin started out looking like:

 

I had several of these in my Fall decoration boxes and pulled a couple out to use, I got these 

at Dollar Tree or possible Target Dollar Spot, not 100% sure as I have had them for a few years, but any stryofoam type pumpkin would work. 

 

I painted mine using some acrylic paint and then made the face, eyes and nose, with black card stock.

I hand cut them and glued to the pumpkin. I drew in the mouth and eyebrows using my journaling pen and added some blush to the cheeks with a sponge dauber and Flirty Flaming ink. I used a white gel pen to draw in his eyes.

 

 

I made his hat with some DSP from Magic in the Night paper pack. I cut out an 8 inch circle and then cut it in half and rolled it into the cone shape.

I used hot glue to glue his hat to the pumpkin.

I added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the base of the hat and die cut a couple of stars using the Glitter Black paper for the top of the hat. I also die cut a couple of black bats to add to his hat as well.

 

 

 

 I made a Rosette to add under the pumpkin for his collar.

I used DSP from the Plaid Tidings for this.

For the Rosette I cut four strips 1-1/2 inches wide and scored at 1/2 across the strip.

I joined these strips together with tear tape and formed the circle for the rosette.

 

 

The box is a 3-1/2 inch square made with Basic Black card stock.

I added the plaid DSP, from the Plaid Tidings pack, that is matted with Pumpkin Pie card stock.

I used the Playful Alphabet Dies for the Boo cut from Glitter Black paper.

I die cut two layers with black card stock and one with the glittered paper and layered them upp for more depth.

I added the letters to a label that is die cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels dies.

I embossed the label before adding the letters with the Cobweb EF.
