Halloween Haunted House Votive/Treat Box & 2015 2nd carved pumpkin

Marie Flayer of NJ Stamping Queen blog shared her Halloween Votive Box file with me. You can click here to see her boxes.

Haunted House Votive/Treat Box is made using Close To My Heart CTMH Artiste & Artbooking Cricut cartridges. The box is 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" when assembled.

Used vellum inside the box.

The bats are made using black glitter cardstock & CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge.

Stamped sentiment and attached it to a toothpick.

Decorated with Halloween ghost ribbon, punched/embossed pumpkins using candy corn scrapbook paper & cat scrapbook paper. Thought it was clever of me to cut the cats in twos from the scrapbook strip for the corners of the box.

Can add treats to this and it becomes a votive treat box. Almost time for trick or treaters.

Hubby carved a 2nd pumpkin. This pumpkin was the 1st choice of pattern and then I changed his mind to do the Pirate Skeleton. I'm sure you will recognize the character carved on this pumpkin. It is a fav movie character of my family; especially my daughter's.

BEE careful to not say the character 3 times in a row.
