2-5-7-10 Frankie Box

While I was swapping at convention I got the cutest Frankenstein card by Kathy Alt.  Of course now that I'm talking about it, I can't find it to take a picture.  Then again if you could see my stamp room you'd understand why I can't find it.  It's a disaster because I've been going through all of my stamp sets and pulling out the retired stamp sets that are for sale.

I used Kathy's card as inspiration and decided to make a 2-5-7-10 Frankie box.



Didn't he turn out cute?  I love it!  I started with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock and used this tutorial on Splitcoast to make the box. 



I punched out two large arrows from Brushed Silver cardstock with the My Way punch.  I adhered those to either side of the box lid flap.  Next I glued a 2" x 3" piece of Perfect Plum cardstock on top.  I took a pair of scissors and cut out his hair.  It's difficult to see in the photo, but I also sponged Perfect Plum ink around all of the edges of the Perfect Plum cardstock.



Here's what the box looked like before I assembled it together.  I drew the mouth on the cardstock with my Basic Black marker.  The whites of the eyes and the eyelids were made with the 1 1/4" circle punch.  The blacks of his eyes were made with the 3/4" circle punch.  His nose is the small oval punch. 

I sponged Old Olive ink around the edges of his eyelids, nose, and on all of the edges of the box.  The nose and eyelids are attached with dimensionals to help them stand out.  I used my white gel pen to draw some highlights on the black part of his eyes.  I used Velcro dots to hold the lid closed.

Be sure to check back tomorrow to see what I filled the box with.  I'll see you then!  ~Dannie
