When I first saw the We R memory keepers candy box board punch (at HM Ben Franklin Crafts), I passed on buying it because I have a Sizzix die that cuts a similar one. However, recently I saw on someone's blog that the board punch can do many different lengths of boxes from 4 to 12 inches long. That variety of sizes made it an instant 'buy it' decision. The longest box in the top photo is 12"and the smallest is 5".
The board punch works extremely well and comes with very thorough, but easy instructions so even a mechanically challenged crafter like me can make a box on the first try. I used 12x12 double sided Doodlebug Halloween cardstock which is available at BFC for the basic candy box. Both sides of the cardstock are pretty so I was happy that I was abe to punch out two boxes from every 12x12 sheet.
The fun thing about these boxes is decorating them. Doodlebug makes a matching sheet of sticker labels and banners which can be used to embellish the boxes or in photo/project life albums. I used ribbons from my stash....yup, I have a section just for Halloween ribbons....hoarder alert!
The cute felt stickers (Darice) are inexpensive ones from Ben Franklin Crafts. I also bought the slick printed Halloween tape (not washi) from BFC. If you need to make some Halloween candy boxes quickly, I think you should try the We R memory keepers punch board. I know that you will enjoy this product and use it for upcoming holiday crafting. I'm already planning my Christmas and Valentine boxes. Who wouldn't want a little sweet treat for those occasions?
