>Click here to see close-up of suckers
Stamps: Spooked!
Paper: Chatterbox, Shimmery White, Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black, Eggplant Envy, Pumpkin Pie, River Rock, So Saffron
Other: Cricut, Tags, Bags,Boxes and More Cartridge, Scor-Pal, 1 1/4, and 1 3/8 Circle Punches, Circle Scallop Punch, Ice Circle Rhinestones,
Sakura Gelly Glitter Pen, Slot Punch, Grosgrain Ribbon.

Set the size to number 5 on your Cricut Machine and cut out the popcorn box without the window. Lay your box on your Scor-pal and score the lines where you see the little slits. Fold and glue together. Use the slit punch to make a slit for your handle. Run the card stock handle through the slit punch from the outside, then fold upwards on the inside. Poke a small hole right above the slot in the basket and run a Rhinestone brad through the box and the handle. Spread the tongs on the inside. Add ribbon.

Stamp images onto Shimmery White card stock and punch out with the 11/4 circle punch. Punch out a circle of Basic Black card stock with the 1 3/4 inch circle punch and adhere it behind your Spooked image. Punch out a circle scallop from the chatterbox paper and center your image on top. Attach them to the suckers and add ribbon. Do the same for your main image and adhere it to the front of your box.

Decorate the house according to the instructions that are included in the Doodlebug Large House packaging. Use a patterned paper for the bottom of the house and purple cardstock for the top. Stamp circles from the In the Background set with Versamark Ink on to the purple cardstock. Then stamp "bones" border in white inkon to strips of black cardstock and paste inbetween the purple and striped paper as a border.

Window, Roof, and Doors: Use DCWV glitter cardstock to create the cover of the door, the roof, chimney, and window accents. Using the SU slot punch, create a scalloped edge strip of black cardstock and then decorate scallops using the white gel pen. Attach to roof.

Windows: Stamp various images from the Spooked! set on to black cardstock and glue behind the windows of the house. *Note, do this before gluing the house together.*

Tree: Cut out bats and gravestones to accent the tree. Adhere the tree die-cut to the side of the house. (I found this die-cut at my local craft store.)

Other: Use stamps from the Spooked! set to decorate the rest of the house, such as the pumpkin on the doorstep or the spiders or ghost on the chimney.
