Halloween Candy Tote Box

Happy Thursday...how was your day? Mine, was quiet...tonight I'd like to share a project that I
 made to use, but it ended up not working for me. So I decided to make it into a Halloween candy tote instead...or maybe use it to house some of my go to acrylic paints...the photos are a bit busy...sorry about that...but you get the idea..use something different instead of the normal halloween candy box...

I used SVG files from Simply Crafty...hop over and check out what she has in her store....and I understand she's getting ready to release something new for Halloween...Enjoy!!!!

Well that's all I have for tonight....Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful evening...hugs from Charm City....

Meet Mr. M.I.E. Therapy

 Well how's it going blogland? Are you all doing ok in your part of the world? This has been one crazy year...let's just keep looking up and hope things can get back to some sort of normal. 

Tonight, I'd like to share this years candy holder I made for Halloween, Mr. M.I.E. Therapy....get it...bwahaha...how fitting...I used multiple svg files from Simply Crafty...I'll list them below with links if you're interested in purchasing any....or go and gander through the store...she's got some awesome files to play with and great how to videos...Enjoy!!!

 

Simply Crafty SVG Files

Venus Flytrap

Ghostly Pumpkin

 Gone Fishing Hat

Zombie Hand Treat Box 

 Bloody Hatchet

Smiling Jack-O-Lantern

 Creepy Clown

Gone Fishing Truck Card

Tool Caddy

WOW....there's a lot of files that I used...I guess I didn't realize it...and most of them are Halloween files to boot....lol...

 

 

 

I designed this so I could take it apart to store more easily....I'm thinking that I might add velcro to the legs and bottom of the base...it will make it more sturdy...

 

Well, there he is...our new candy holder for this year...I really love how the modeling paste and the glass beads adds so much more texture to the pumpkin body...Everything is hand painted with acrylic paints...I also added stones as weight to the legs and base, then added some newspaper inside to fill the gap...over time, the weight will cave the paper in, so I have learned over time to add the newspaper to fill that void....did that make sense? ...

I hope you all stay safe and healthy...hugs from a chilly Charm City...

Topsy Turvy Cake Box

Hello everyone...how's things in your neck of the woods...not to bad here, just waiting for lock down to be over...

Today, I'd like to show you my little tug boat I made using the topsy turvy cake from Simply Crafty....I have to say that, this isn't what I had started to make...I was sitting there watching the video, and towards the end of it, one of the pics reminded me of a tug boat...so instead of making a girly cake, I made myself a tug boat....

I used the cake just like it was made except I used the icing for the waves...I doubled all layers...top layer I didn't cut the dash cuts...hand painted everything with acrylic paints and the doo dads were from Cricut Design.....Enjoy!!!!

Here's the new birthday set...and there's even a freebie....

Thanks for stopping...stay safe and healthy....hugs from Charm City....

Happy Easter Gift Set

Good morning....how's everyone doing in the midst of this craziness? Did you get your TP? Ha Ha...

Today, I wanted to share a project I made for an Easter gift for someone...it all actually started with me looking for boxes to fit my canning jars...I got a dehydrator for Christmas and I've been on this kick of dehydrating everything in the house...lol...and then some...but I wanted to make some meals/sweets in jars and give them away as gifts...so I was on the look out for svg's that I could use...

Over at Simply Crafty, there's a few that work that I got and was in the middle of making the Qt jar when Sandy just released these cute hat boxes...I really needed to add the Victorian Top Hat box and stand to the gift set...look how adorable that file is...you can use it for so many things...you can also use the stand for something else...or even add a different hat to it...but what I noticed as I was putting the stand together was that it would be the perfect tire and axel for a tractor....with a little modifying....just add a base to both ends...

Well any-who, onto my project...Enjoy!!!!

Simply Crafty SVG's used

Victorian Hat 

Quart Mason Jar Box 

Oval Swing Card 

 I fill my bases with rocks/stones/sand then with newspaper to fill the gap up...it's paper, and over time it will eventually sink downward...so I fill it for that reason and to give it some weight at the bottom...

here's what made me think of tires for a tractor...what do you think?

***************

Well that all I have for now...I do hope you and your family remain happy and healthy thru all of this craziness....hugs from a very sweet Charm City....
