Buggy Birthday

Our grand daughter Mia turned 5 this year and she was having a party with a bug theme......this is the card I sent her to go along with this theme. It uses the Large scalloped circle Bigz die, scallop circle punch, the 3/4 inch circle punch. The stamp set is the "Lovebug" hostess level 1 set from the current catalogue. Stampin'Up card stock in Real Red and Basic Black, ink is Whisper White Craft ink. I saw this idea on another blog and had saved the picture for inspiration, or for when it may be needed.
Sorry I haven't posted much lately, it's been busy and I seem to have come down with a cold and have had days where I felt very tired after work, so very little has been done. I hope it passes soon, so I can get caught up with the things that have been put on hold.

Thanks for looking,

Happy Halloween!

BOO!
This cute little treat box was so easy to create with my Big Shot and the Matchbox BigZ XL die. It's not my idea, but was cased from a website; not sure whose. I'll be more than happy to give credit to that person if you know who it is.
First I stamped the Boo onto a piece of vellum in Basic Black ink and set it aside to dry, this took longer than making the whole project. I made the matchbox using the tangerine Tango from last year's In-Colors collection, then I punched a 1 3/8" circle from the front of the cover. Next take a scrap of basic Black cardstock and punch a 1 3/8" circle from it, then use the scalloped circle punch to punch around the circle cut-out creating a scalloped frame in black. This you adhere to the front of the matchbox cover to fit around the hole you've already punched. When the ink is dry adhere the vellum to the backside of the matchbox cover so it can be seen in the hole on the front. Complete the assembly of the cover and fill with goodies.
I sent this one to my granddaughter Mia with nuggets in it.

Hope you don't get too spooked tonoght!
