Witch Boots | Halloween Treat Boxes

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

This year for treats I thought I would make this witches boot. I had bought this file on the Silhouette Online Store and had cut all the pieces for it, but life, as usual, got busy and only tonight did I get to finish them up. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, lol! I slightly enlarged the file, but now I kind of wished I had enlarged it some more, as they are kind of tricky to put together when they are this small! Update this file is no longer available. Here is another "NANNY" boot file that could be used as a Halloween boot. 

Aren't they soooo cool?!  They actually can fit quite a bit of goodies. I also like that they can fit a full-size chocolate bar... and even extra candy in the front part of the boot :)

Here is a closer look! BOO! Did I scare you? Maybe those eyeball chocolates did, kinda creepy, aren't they?!

Just put it in a treat baggy, wrap it up and it's all ready for a very special little goblin!

I hope you like my "Boots!" Have a fun Halloween!

Happy Haunting & be safe!

3D Apple Treat Box | Back to School Gift For Teacher | SVGCuts

HELLO! I'm finally back from our European travels! Yay! The trip was amazing, but I am glad to be home :) I know you all must have been going through a bit of withdrawal from my blog, lol! No worries I already have the crafting itch... so I've already started crafting away! Yes, it's back to REALITY... and as you might have already noticed I have made some changes to the appearance of the blog... I guess that will always be changing and under construction! But what do you think so far...better right?

So yesterday was the first day of school for the kids... Their school actually started last week, but we were still away. I don't think they minded at all missing a few days! So here they are just before leaving for school. Maia is in grade 1 and Tomas is in grade 3. I can't believe that they are this big already! Time just keeps flying!

So here are the treats I made for the teachers this year. What teacher doesn't like apples? Especially when they're filled with chocolates?! I hope they like them... I love how they turned out!

Here is a closer look, aren't they adorable?!

The files for the 3D Apple come from SVG Cuts MISS BAKER'S CLASSROOM SVG KIT. I can't say enough good things about their files. Mary is amazing at what she does! The paper I used is from Fancy Pants Designs, their Off to School collection.

I hope you liked them too!
Happy crafting :)

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..." | 3D Paper Suitcase Treat Box Silhouette Studio File | Free Download

Every time I pack a suitcase, I think of this song... not that I'm packing, well not yet anyway. We will be leaving soon enough to visit our family in Portugal! So excited can't wait, my son is already there with my In-laws and I miss him terribly, and even though his sister hates to admit it she misses him too!

Ok, ok, now back to the fun stuff!!! My cousin Marisa, asked me if I could make her a suitcase out of paper for her son Marko's 1st Birthday Party. Her theme for his party is travel by plane, train, or car... so a suitcase is what she chose to fill as a goody bag/treat for every child! That meant I would have to make 15 of them! Wow, anything for you Marisa, good thing I love soooo much!!!

It probably would have been a lot easier if I had bought a suitcase file, but if know me I always like to do things the hard way! I made this file with the Silhouette Designer Studio Edition Software. I'm so used to using SCAL, so this was a bit more challenging for me... but I think it turned out pretty well!

 Cute right?!

The suitcases measure
4.5x3x1.5 inches. Big enough to hold some treats for the kiddos! Or as you can see here big enough for Barbie's clothes, lol!

Hope she likes them! I love how they turned out! Too bad I'm sure they won't last more than a few minutes in kiddy hands... :(

So I'll finish with the end of the song, cause it still continues to play in my head! Bah!!!, don't you just hate when you can't rid of a song in your head, lol!

 "And I'm leaving on a jet plane,

I don't know when I'll be back again,

Oh, babe, I hate to go!"

I'm happy to share with you this suitcase file but,

3D Paper Cheeseburger Treat Box | Father's Day Gift for Dad | SVGCuts

While I was working on my last entry for the Father's Day SVG Cut's Facebook Challenge, I had another idea that I thought would make a cute gift for my husband from the kids. He loves cheeseburgers so I thought I could make him a gift box using SVGCuts files. 

 Here's how it turned out... doesn't it look yummy!

Here is the cheeseburger recipe.... all cooked up with my Cameo, lol!

From the HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SVG KIT,

 I used the cupcake top and the top tier from the cake box to make my hamburger patty and the bottom of the bun. 

From the GRADUATION DAY SVG KIT,

I made my cheese layers, using the top of the graduation cap.

From the MY DAY WITH DAD SVG KIT I made the banner.

The bacon strips are a freebie file on the SVGCuts blog, and the sesame seeds were made in the Silhouette Studio DE program. WOW! That's a lot of ingredients!!! Oh yes, to make it taste and look even better I used a green ribbon to make some lettuce and hot glued it to the top of the bun. I also inked some edges and embossed a few things, et voila... Dad's cheeseburger!

I love that it's functional too! It has enough room for some treats and maybe even some love notes from the kids!

You could also make this cheeseburger with two gift compartments by turning the bottom bun into a box as well!

I always love to show you the scale... pretty realistic, almost good enough to eat!

Hope you like this project, I know my husband will love this! 

Happy crafting!

3D Paper Truck Treat Box | SVGCuts

Happy Weekend!

Yeah, it's Friday!!! I'm not sure why I sound so excited? I have to work this weekend... 2, 12 hour shifts at the hospital... whaaaaahhh! :(  Maybe its because I got so much accomplished this week! I can't wait to share it all!

This week, my Father in law Leo celebrated his birthday! So I thought I should make him a little gift box for the kids to give him. He owns an old red truck that my kids love to ride around in, so I thought this would be perfect!

Isn't adorable!? Such a fun file! This file comes from SVGCuts  RYAN'S PLAYDATE SVG KIT, and was cut with my Silhouette Cameo. Perfect for a little guy too!

Thanks for visiting!

3D Milk Carton | FREE SVG Download

Wow!!! I can't believe I have had over 1000 views on my blog! Crazy... it's only been 2 weeks since starting this blogging journey. Not quite sure what normal stats are but I think that's pretty cool! Thank you all for coming back to visit!

So I decided that I would share with you the file I made for the 8" Milk Carton... The files are in SVG format so you should be able to use them with the SCAL and MTC software. As a bonus, I also will give you the file for a 4.5" Milk Carton Treat Box as well :)

Enjoy!
