Spooktacular Coffin Treat Box

Today’s project is a fun little treat box shaped like a coffin. Stampin’ Up!’s new Coffin Boxes come pre-cut and scored, so you only have to glue the corners to assemble them. There’s a window in the coffin lid so you can see its occupant, a vampire from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper (DSP.) The coffin is lined with more of the DSP, and the spiders on top are cut from a Black Foil Sheet using the Wicked Dies.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

  • first traced around a coffin box onto two pieces of Monster Bash Designer Series Paper (DSP), then…
  • cut both pieces along the traced lines

Stamped with the Spooktacular Bash stamp set:

  • sentiment in Whisper White Craft Ink onto a scrap of Basic Gray card stock (CS)
  • heat set the ink using a Heat Tool

Cut using the Ornate Frames Dies:

  • sentiment
  • ornate frame from a scrap of Basic Gray CS

Cut using the Wicked Dies:

  • 3 spiders from a scrap of Black Foil Sheet

Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:

  • hole in the die cut ornate frame, and in the top of the coffin box, using the same small die
  • vampire from the Monster Bash DSP, and a scrap of clear Window Sheet, using the same larger die

Assembled the box:

  • burnished the folds in the box and lid with a Bone Folder
  • clear circle adhered onto the inside of the lid, lining the hole, using Tear & Tape
  • vampire adhered onto the clear circle using Tear & Tape, so he shows through the window in the lid
  • box and lid folded and glued into shape
  • one piece of DSP glued onto the inside of the box (bats)
  • the other piece of DSP glued onto the inside of the lid (cobwebs)
  • ornate frame glued onto the top of the lid, around the window
  • sentiment glued onto the top of the lid
  • 3 spiders adhered onto the top of the lid using Mini Glue Dots
  • 2 Red Rhinestones applied onto each spider, to resemble a Black Widow’s hourglass pattern (Yes, I know it’s actually on the bottom of a real spider and not up on its back, but I took a little artistic license.)

I’m out of town at a craft retreat and don’t have my lightbox, so my photos look different than usual.

The card: I tried to create a reflection of mountains and sky. It isn’t a perfect mirrored image, but I think you get the idea.A Little Smile June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!, alternative projects for the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop, made by Candy Ford #stampcandy

 

The treat bag: I made a simple tag that matched the card, and attached it using a copper library clip from the Tags & More Accessory Kit. A Little Smile June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!, alternative projects for the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop, made by Candy Ford #stampcandy

Something Old, Something New for June 2019 OSAT

It’s time for the June 2019 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Something Old, Something New. We’re featuring new products used along with products that carried over from previous catalogs. For my projects, I used the new A Little Lace stamp set with the returning Stitched Shapes Dies. The treat box fits a Reese’s Big Cup. Hopefully it will make it to its intended recipient – I do love a Big Cup!
