These pumpkins have candy guts.
If you have to make a lot of something, you’re going to want to use the 12×24 mat. It’s GREAT not only for making big things, but for cutting multiples of things. In this case, I’ve only cut 2 things out of a sheet of paper, but you can do way more than that depending on what you are cutting out.
I found this 12×24 paper at Hobby Lobby. It can be hard to find, so you might want to shop online for it. Occasionally, other companies make 12×24 paper, but this paper is by Cricut.
I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut cartridge for this heart shaped box. Can you tell that it’s a heart shaped box? Look at the top and you’ll notice the heart. Here’s a link to another post I made where it’s an undeniable heart box. 😉
I used the Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge to make the Jack ‘o Lantern faces on either side of the box. Originally, they were whole pumpkins with carved faces, but I used the Gypsy to delete the circle of pumpkin so I would just be left with the faces. Then I welded them onto the box and cut them out. 😀
Previously, I cut the heart box out for another project and I learned that making it “fit to page” on a 12×12 mat made it a good, workable size. This time I used my Gypsy and did basically the same thing. I made both cuts fit as they would on a 12×12 mat.
Now we have to score them.
Ah HA! Proof that I didn’t eat all of that taffy from yesterday.
I use the Fiskars Paper Trimmer and Scorer
There you go! 2 Fun Pumpkin Candy Holders!
These Happy Hauntings creations have an even happier ending than candy…
