Batty For You Basket
I was shopping down the candy isle and spotted these little peppermint patties and like the cartoons, a light bulb lit over my head. Well, maybe not, but it felt like it. Anyway, this is what I came up with. There were 43 mints in the bag so I made the little boxes to fit four each.... and a few extra to eat while you work. These are super easy and would be a snap to mass produce... especially if you own a Scor-Pal. I love my Scor-pal... have I told you that?
Here is a list of the supplies:
Stamps: Batty for You, Party Punch
Paper: Only Orange, Basic Black, Creepy Crawly DS paper, Whisper White.
Ink: Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant, Only Orange
Other: Candy, Scallop Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, Crop-a-dile, Large Eyelets, Round Tab Punch, Circle Punches, Hodgepodge Kit, Grosgrain and Gingham Ribbon, Scor-Pal.
Ready? Did I tell you these are easy peasy?
1. Cut your card stock 5 x 5 inches. Score each end at 1.5 inches
2. Cut on the score lines on the two top scores and the bottom scores lines. (see photo)
3. Cut your designer paper 2 x 1.5 and adhere to each center piece.
4. If you want a scalloped edge, use your corner rounder (with the guide taken off). Start in the center of each flap and work your way to the edge.
5. If you do the scallop, you will have to trim down the inside flaps so that they don't show through the scalloped part when put your box together.
6. Add the large eyelets to two sides with your Crop-a-dile.
7. Apply adhesive to your undecorated flaps and put your box together.
8. Add ribbon or card stock for your handle, decorate as you please.
9. Sandwich your candy peppermint patties with the decorated Circle Scallops and add to your basket.
Set them on your co-workers desk or for teacher. And, have a happy, fun, safe Halloween!
Thanks for stopping by today. I have some more Halloween treats to show you, but I NEED to catch up on some laundry today. Hope you all had a great weekend!!

How Cute! I love to see tutorials on how to make things, especially not difficult things, thanks for the great pictures and description.
WOW...these are adorable....
thank you for tut....

OK, you did it!!! I have read a lot of comments about the Score Pal, but never actually SAW it until this upload I clicked on (thru a post on SCS by Rohla -- you know how one click leads to another -- LOL!!) This project is ADORABLE, and oh, so simple, the way you can do it on the Score Pal -- it makes so much sense, it looks so easy, and I'm sure it is!!! THANK YOU!!! -- even though this click cost me $$$$, oh, the joys of modern technology!!!! Can't WAIT to get my new Score Pal!!!!
Cambria,
I loved seeing you demo these boxes in Portland. You did such a good job. I am glad to see the directions here on your blog too.
Kathy
thank you for the tutorial that is so easy to follow. I, too, love my score pal and don't know how I functioned without it. It sure sounds like you girls had a great time. You are all great stampers and teachers. Thanks gain.
I hope you could feel me there at your demonstration in spirit, my friend! As always, you are DA'BOMB, and this project is BOMBASTIC!
great job... these are awesome...
Thank you for sharing this adorable design! I made a Christmas version today, and can't wait to make more! I will say, you definetely need to have the SU! scalloped circle punch for this, as the Marvy punch is just a tad too big. My patties are sitting in the box very snugly! Thanks again! I enjoy your blog so much!
Thanks so much for sharing this idea and the instructions! I am making for V-day! Susan
