Halloween Milk Carton

To enter my cartridge giveaway please click here. 

I have been wanting to make a milk carton for a long time as a treat box.  I found a template online from SU! that helped me make this cute carton.  Thank goodness for my scoreboard, it would have been so difficult without it!

There is a die that you can roll through the big shot that makes a milk carton without any measuring.  I've used it before, and after all this work that went into this project, I now know what my next purchase is going to be:)  The only thing I like about this template is that it is much larger than the one that is made from the die. My carton measures about 5 inches tall after some adjustments.  I had to adjust the measurements because the one I made originally was way too big and it didn't look very cute. 

I really love how it turned out.  Here is my milk carton:

This owl came from SU! I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.  The twine is from the Twinery.

This sentiment is from K. Andrew: Fall-O-Ween set. I like that this set can be customized to create your own sentiment.

Here is a side view.  Thank you for visiting!

Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom

The challenge this week at Peachy Keen is to make a punny card using their faces. When I was looking at my sentiments, I saw one that said "Ketchup with you soon!" Right away I thought of a tomato with a cute face on it.  After I made the tomato my husband said she looked like Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom (I think it's an old Nintendo game) and I thought the name was perfect because this face is from the princess assortment from PKS! P.S. my tomato is WAY cuter than the video game version!  I think you will agree!

*By the way I went to Walmart today and all their Lite Carts were on clearance for $15! My BFF Jennifer and I had a small shopping spree :) I finally got Block Party which I am using today.

This card will be entered into the following challenge:
Let's Face it Friday: So Punny at Peachy Keen Stamps.

Anything Goes Challenge #100 at Paper Cutz Challenge.


I think Princess Tomato was able to make a business selling some ketchup:

I am nuts about this little face! I colored her eyes with white gel pen and added glossy accents to her eyes and lips.  Her cheeks are accented with pink chalk and freckles. 

The sentiment is embossed with SU! Whisper White embossing powder.  I just got this embossing powder and an embossing buddy, and the difference it made was AMAZING! This is a small sentiment and it embossed beautifully! (No I don't sell SU! stuff :) But I was completely impressed with how clean the sentiment came out so I highly recommend it.) I then dry embossed the background with the Swiss Dots folder. 

I finished off the card by adding some stitching and a small twine bow in Honeydew.
