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 bats 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 bats design face up) to the top of the lid. Use Paper Snips to trim off any excess designer paper along the edges.
Mount the framed dracula image from the Spooktacular Bash Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Pick out the matching square die with pointy corners from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put it on top of the stamped framed dracula image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Make sure you have some paper (Grid Paper works great) at your work space.to protect the work surface. The Stampin' Blends Markers will bleed through the cardstock that you are coloring so you need to protect your work surface.
Place the framed dracula cut out on the work paper and start coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas.
Use the Light Pumpkin Pie Marker to color in the frame and the hands and face of dracula.
Use the Dark Pumpkin Pie Marker to color in the background of the portrait behind dracula.
Use the Color Lifter Marker to remove any excess color as needed.
Adhere the colored, framed dracula cut out to the top of the lid so it is near the left edge near the top.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a headstone with bats 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 so it overlaps the framed dracula cut out on the right side at the bottom.
Mount the "Spooky" or "Creepy" sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pumpkin Pie strip.
Pick out the small stitched label die with rounded ends from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Use Black Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the lid so it overlaps the bottom of the framed dracula cut out and enamel shape tombstone and is centered side to side.
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 on the lower left side of the sentiment label cut out.
