Whilst at the crop last week (I can’t believe that is was a week ago!) my sister and I borrowed the mustache die from Randa (thanks Randa!). Caro had the curvy keepsake box die and we had seen a superhero made out of the box on Facebook. Sadly, I can’t find the post and so can’t give credit – if my sister can find it, I’ll come back and edit this.

This is a pretty simple box to make – you cut out 2 of the dies and glue them together to form the box. If you use your bone folder to slightly curve the sides of the box, it comes together more easily. It is of course easier to adhere the mask when the box isn’t assembled. And here we had a first. I was convinced that I would never use candy dots, I don’t like the plastic look. But after struggling to find the right size punch (with my sister giggling at my efforts) I gave in and used two of her candy dots for the eyes.

Here’s a better view of the cape

This is made by cutting out part of another half box and then using either a scallop edge punch or the scallops on the largest square framelits. I think that the largest oval framelit would work as well.

I’m doing another craft show tomorrow and I now have the curvy keepsake box die and the mustache so I’ll be making some more of these this afternoon.
