Your local scrapbook store is most likely going to have some AWESOME Black Friday Specials featuring Cosmo Cricket goodness! You will definitely want to check them out for amazing deals on everything from gift boxes to paper...... Jolly by Golly to Halfway Cafe..... giveaways to make and takes. Call your store and see what they are planning in your area.
You could get Blackboard boxes priced so you can make one for each of your friends. We had our design team make up several all with other products that we offered to stores for their Black Friday promotions. Take a looksie. I love the idea of the packaging being part of the gift!
I even have instructions for this one!
1. Measure all the sides of the box and lid, excluding the front where you just want two strips for above and below the window, and cut out pieces of pattern paper to fit. Then ink the edges blue before adhering to the box.
2. Cut out a square of transparency, and glue all four edges, before slipping it into the box and adhering it to the inside front so no candy can get out the window.
3. Add snowman border stickers above and below the window cut out.
4. Draw white ticking marks directly on the blackboard around the window to make it stand out.
5. Wrap a green ribbon around the middle of the box, and tie a bow in the front. Punch two holes into a chipboard snowflake to make a button, and tie the button with hemp cord before attaching it to the middle of the bow.
6. Lastly cut out the woman in red from the Jolly by Golly Elements sheet, and glue her to the front of the box, along with the "For you" sign that's below her, which gets attached to the box lid.
Have a great weekend everyone. If we all get crafting now, maybe we'll be ready for Christmas..... maybe!
