I had this Pyramid Box cut at Creative Cuts and More out of Onyx Stardream. It was so easy to stamp, then fold and add cord. Once you got the prototype made, I think you could churn these out at about one every five or six minutes. The spider is cut out of acetate, and I love the way it catches the light. For the eyes, I used gems I already had, but I did want to point out this awesome gem wheel, which I ordered and got in the mail today!! I think it has about a bazillion little rhinestones and some halfback pearls, and let me tell you, I am VERY happy to have this!! There are so many different colors! It seems I am always looking for a color I don't have, and I don't think clear looks good on autumn cards, so clear isn't perfect for everything. Now I have every color I could need!!
The gorgeous swirly stamp is from Creative Play Stamps' Swirl Garden. This is a staple set for me. I have LOTS of swirls and flourishes, and this is the one I always look for first. I just love the way it fills space. I embossed it with VersaMark and Ranger Silver Tinsel.

Just read your details...I thought I'd pass on a helpful tip that I learned - hope you don't mind...you can make those clear gems any color you need to match your project with any form of alcohol ink...marker, stamp pad or alcohol inks...just rub the gems with the ink...
