Trick or Treat! – Halloween Box with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

Hello Eileen Hull fans! This month all the designers on Eileen's Teams have been making a variety of project with fall and Halloween themes! We've had so much creative inspiration to share. For my make, I used the Slotted Treat Box Die as the shell for my Halloween diorama. The festive outside opens up to even more festive party inside…

I wanted to focus on a vintage Halloween party vibe inside. Eileen's Slotted Treat Box Die (a Plus die) is so roomy I could fit all sorts of fun bits and pieces in it.

I cut an extra piece of mat board and glued it in to make a shelf. The little banner is cut using a retired die set of Eileen's - the Banners & Pennants set.

Another look at the outside:

I don't have too many photos of the process because I got in a groove and went to town. Here are a few peeks though.

I cut all my box parts out of mat board first and then covered the box with patterned paper afterwards. Usually it's easier to adhere the paper to the mat board and then cut the pieces, but I used so many different papers that would have been very tricky!

I built up layers with die cuts and foam tape.

It was so much fun going through my stash of Idea-ology and other bits to decide what to put inside. I love making little scenes! =)

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.
