Monster Boxes

I know, I said we don't really do anything for Halloween... but I came across some glow in the dark M&M's and some glow worm jube thingies (there is a light thing that then has the lolly around it). And since I bought them I had to make something fancy to put them in! With a nice long afternoon nap yesterday I was feeling pretty good last night, so once the girls were in bed I got started.

Rather than doing a lot of trial and error, I made the boxes as big as I easily could with one sheet of 12x12. The box stands about 7" tall with a 3" flap coming over the front for the monsters face. I originally wanted my boxes black so I could have these eyes and teeth coming out of "nowhere" (inspired by Amy Sheffer), but alas the only black 12x12 I had was textured and that wasn't going to work as well for the stamping. The flaps are held down by a bit of magnetic tape I picked up at the cheap shop, which I had to added sticky strip to to keep the magnets stuck on the cardstock instead of each other.
