Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- 2-1/4" x 4-1/4" of multi-colored book spines design from Monster Bash Designer Series Paper, cut so the spines are mostly vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2-1/2" square from Terracotta Tile Cardstock
- potion bottle cut from one of the book fronts on the multi-colored book spines design from Monster Bash Designer Series Paper
Fold a Coffin Treat Box base and lid along all score lines using the Bone Folder.
Use pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the box together. Set aside.
Use pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the lid together.
Place the piece of Monster Bash Designer Paper upside down on your work surface (in this case, the book spines design face down).
Place the lid upside down in the middle of the piece of designer paper. Trace around the outside edges using a pencil.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the traced area just inside the pencil lines.
Use SNAIL Adhesive to adhere the cut out paper right side up (in this case, the book spines design face up) to the top of the lid. Use Paper Snips to trim off any excess designer paper along the edges.
Mount the "Eat, Drink, & Be Scary" sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Terracotta Tile square.
Pick out the square filigree frame die from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put the die on top of the stamped Terracotta Tile square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and/or paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Adhere the sentiment frame cut out to the top of the lid so it is centered side to side and near the top.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a skull and crossbones shape from a sheet of Monster Bash Enamel Shapes being sure to get the adhesive as well. Adhere it to the front of the lid on the upper right side of the framed sentiment cut out.
If you haven't already done so, use Paper Snips to cut out the potion bottle from one of the book fronts on the multi-colored book spines design from Monster Bash Designer Series Paper.
Adhere the potion bottle cut out to the front of the lid at a slight angle so it overlaps the bottom right corner of the framed sentiment cut out.
Cut a 3" piece of Basic Black 3/8" Scalloped Edge Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the top of the lid at a slight angle on the bottom left corner of the framed sentiment cut out.
