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.)
