And the winner is.................

Congratulations to Bernice R.!!!!!!! You are the winner of our Ben Franklin Craft Club Halloween blog candy giveaway! Bernice, please send your mailing address to contact@bfcraftclub.com to receive your prize. If we do not hear from you by Oct. 10th, we will choose another winner. Thank you to all who took the time to leave a comment and keep watching for future craft club contests. I wanted to make some fancy Halloween treat boxes and I wanted them to be big enough to hold lots of candy so I started with the Sizzix pillow box die and some shiny cardstock. Next, I wanted to use my The Greeting Farm rubber stamp (Thrusday) because she is so evil-looking but cute.....like a teenager. After stamping her (with waterproof ink) on white cardstock, I colored and cut her out. Then I used my Martha Stewart punch to make the black bag. (I love that punch!) After die cutting the label (Sizzix Frame Back Ornate #3), I rubbed the edges of the label with mustard Distress Ink and stamped a Hero Arts saying onto it. A scrap of fancy printed paper was adhered to the assembled box with double-stick Merikan tape. The inked label was also attached with Merikan tape and the cut out TGF image was added with pop-dots. Lastly, I decorated the box with lots of candy stickers (Jolee's, MS, etc.)to further dress it up. If you need to make a bunch of these for a party or the office gang, choose just one color scheme and work factory style. You'll be cranking them out by the dozens and your candy-loving friends will be so impress and thrilled. Thanks for stopping to read this post. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
