BOO! New Halloween Block Overlays & Box Tops!
Filed under Halloween, Shannon Cooper
Short & sweet (and very cute)!
I’ve brought back the original 3 sizes of Cube Boxes (and cute Halloween art using the smallest one is farther below)… and there are 2 new in-between sizes (so you could make a big stack of fun Halloween blocks like the photo at left). Though you’d decorate them better than my 5-minute example!
There’s a preview of the new Halloween Cube Overlays on that top 1″ block (backed by Orange Cardstock: easy and colorful!) and the bottom block is the same 3″ size as the close-up at right. The spider on the top is also from the Halloween Cube Overlays (available in FIVE sizes — each set has 9 tiles (letters for spelling EEK and BOO, plus a cat, a spider, and a crescent moon).
That 3″ close-up also shows the new Halloween Faux Box Tops on 2 sides (over either solid cardstock or prints from the Dark Halloween 6×6 Paper Set).
Those faux box top sets each have four strips (TRICK, TREAT, and 2 zig-zag borders). Your choice of FIVE sizes (each set has the same 4 strips but in different sizes). You could buy 2 sets if you’d like TRICK and TREAT on all 4 sides (or zig-zaggy borders on all 4 sides).
Halloween House Blocks by Shannon Cooper
I love these EEK blocks! Super cute and super easy to make. Here’s a brief intro from Shannon’s blog post:
Because I want to make all of the Hallowe’en things, but locking myself in the craft room and ignoring my family is frowned upon, I crafted some quick EEK blocks for a friend. Tiny House Jewelry Pieces became row houses on top of 1″ blocks. I made crepe paper medallions and glued a vintage button on top, then added plastic letters to the front of each block. The houses were painted and decorated with collage sheet images, and that was that!
A couple more tiny details: Shannon added snips of Black Dresden and Half Scale Widows Walk Fencing as fencing; and a tiny bat flying over the tallest house (I subbed a newer bat with the same shape).
Here’s a link to Shannon’s original blog post. Note: we moved sites since her post so use my link for her supplies… and don’t forget all of them are included in the sale!
