Welcome to Terroriffic Tuesday! (and yes I do know it’s only Monday but I can’t wait to show you this). Thanks for stopping by the Blog Hop. I can’t wait to see the fabulous and (spooky) projects that will go up this week.
My project was created using one of my new ScoreBoard dies from the folks at Sizzix. I am not kidding- this project took about 15 minutes from start to finish!
I rolled the BrightCore orange matboard through the Big Shot and out came the cute little cupcake shape. I laid it flat to see where I wanted the stamped image. Stamped an spider web and spider and it came out too light. The good thing was, I had a black glaze Sakura pen so I traced over the web, also adding some dimension in the process. Working carefully around the design, because of course I didn’t want to WAIT for it to dry completely, I bent the cupcake at all the score marks to give it shape. With my Crop-o-dile, I punched 2 holes across from each other on the top for the handle. I had some floral wire coated to look like a branch so bent that into handle shape and twisted the edges inside the basket. Then I wrapped wire leaves around the handle and tied a bow. Add candy and you are in business!
I can see this as a little pick-me-up for a friend having a bad day, for the teacher, thank you gift, a neighbor who helped you out, your babysitter, you name it. Who doesn’t like chocolate?
