Haunted Rubiks Cube Candy Box


Good morning blog land...today I have a quick post for the challenge over at Scor Pal. I came across a picture on the net and thought to myself, wow, how cool would that be to put Halloween candy in...so I set out to make it and this is what I came up with..... Enjoy!!!
Here is the front view...there's 3 drawers that pull out for candy...
Side view...
Here's my inspiration...I used my scor pal to create the 3 drawers and glued them together...I was going to make them so they swiveled but decided since this was paper and chipboard to just glue them together....

I used Happy Hauntings for the die cuts from my Cricut and MS border punches...

The loot...lol...

Top view....I decided to keep it simple...and if you know me this is really hard...but I really wanted the Rubik's Cube to shine instead of stuff...so to speak....
************
Deets
3 pcs 10x10 black stock for frames
3 pcs 9 3/4x 93/4 for drawers...
Score at 2 and 8 on all sheets....
Fold the smaller sheets into a drawer
The bigger into a box but folding in the ends for the drawers to slide in...I keep this extra stock to help build layers instead of just making a sleeve that fits over the drawer...did that make sense? ...I also added chipboard to all sides and bottoms...this really feels like an over sized Rubiks cube...   *************
So this is all I have for now...I hope you all have a sunny day....hugs from a sunny Charm City....

Happy Thursday blog land...today just a quick post to share a couple of Balloon Gift Boxes I made for a baby shower --are totally deconstruct able--and turns into a decorative memory box and the lantern turns into a hanging decoration.... ENJOY!!!!
 
Mommy to be is having twin girls and the theme is Minni ....So I came up with these little doo-hickeys...lol...a Balloon gift box...the presents are inside of the box...
 
sorry for the pics...I didn't have much time to take some before they left for the party....I used my Big E with the Mickey and Friends cart for all of the cuts...
 
 
just a closer view of the boxes..the dowels just lift out and remove from lantern...I added a hanger at the top part of the lantern so it could be hung for decorations....or it can be left as one and sit on a table or shelf....
