When I was thinking of a second project to make for this week, I know that card sets are always popular and make great gifts.  Then I needed a container or box for them.  That's when I thought of a cauldron!  But, the cards needed to be small…so how about a cute set of 3×3 cards featuring Stampin' Up!'s Fang-tastic stamp set?  Those little cuties are PERFECT for a small 3×3 size!  You could tuck them inside a lunch bag, hang them on a gift bag…lots of cute ideas for these miniature cards!  I have a FREE STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL for you over on Create with Connie and Mary on making this cauldron box and sweet cards!

 

 

The "cauldron" box is actually two large circles cut across the top again with a portion of another circle to make the scoop top.  Between the two cauldron pieces is the Fancy Favor Bigz XL die box…it holds the 4 mini 3×3 cards and envelopes perfectly!  I placed small flat glass marbles for the "feet" of the cauldron.  The handles are made with the Large Oval Punch and Wide Oval punch around it.  The "bubbles" are made from Pear Pizzazz cardstock that I covered with Versamark, then Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder for a glittery look.  The letters, boo, were also made the same way with Tangerine Tango cardstock.  I watercolored the little kids with my Aqua Painter and Stampin' Write Markers, then punched them with the new 2 1/2 Circle Punch.
