Halloween Treat Bag / Box Topper Help

sparkle82

Hi,

I have a KNK Maxx Air machine which I've not really used so I'm a complete novice when it comes to die cutting and would like to get started.

With the holiday season fast approaching, and with Halloween next month I thought this would be a great time to get some practice in.

I'm looking to make a Halloween treat box/bag or bag with topper for the little kids around where I live but have no idea where to get started.

Is it best to purchase a cutting file that's already been designed or is it easy enough to create my own?

Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA

The first thing to do is look in the gallery to see if there is anything you can use. Again there are are many talented file designers out there it's hard to choose one file. If you are a total beginner and trying to learn your machine and see how it cuts I'd look for some ready made files. Lettering Delights has some good files for sale.

@sparkle82 I've not put up anything for Halloween yet but I will make an effort and see if I can come up with some treat bags/boxes that are easy to make. Give me a couple of days to get my brain in gear! If you go to the craft bazaar (an earlier discussion of mine) you will find in Clipart under Festive, Halloween some more pics that might be of use.

Heres some of my first thoughts - not brilliant but it's a start on the box you will need to view the second page. The rounds could also be made into buttons with pins attached as a different sort of gift.

Thanks everyone for your help and @Di-lite. Much appreciated. Haven't been on Mac today but planning to go on 2mrw whilst my wee toddler is at nursery so should be able to view files then.

I have a little treat bag freebie in the Cre8ive Cutz store that might be what you need: http://cre8ivecutz.com/99centstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=64.

Also some little tombstone shaped treat boxes that are quite cute for Halloween: http://cre8ivecutz.com/99centstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=78

Hope this helps! :-)
