It’s only 71 days until the happiest time of year…31 October…Halloween! And this year’s Magic in this Night Suite Collection is so elegant. I had to get all of it: the Magic in the Night paper, Hallows Night Magic Bundle stamp set and dies, the mesh ribbon… The only pieces I did not use on my first project were the Cobwebs 3D embossing folder, black glitter paper and the iridescent pearls. Look for those to crop up in future 🎃 projects. And of course I’m partial to the Pretty Peacock color. Love the non-traditional color to mix things up. Enough chatter, let’s get on to how to make your own Halloween 3D Treat Box.

Instructions for Halloween 3D Treat Box
1. Fold the cardstock base on all score lines and burnish with a bone folder. Looking at the bottom right square, cut on the left score line up to the first score line from the bottom. Turn the paper 90 degrees and repeat. Repeat two more times. Notch the edges of each bottom right square, and cut off about half of each flap.
2. Flip the cardstock base over so the score lines are mountain folded, and apply Stampin’ SEAL+ adhesive (or mono adhesive or Tear ‘N Tape) to each flap and form into a box.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 with the Magic in This Night DSP lid.
4. Fill the base with treats.
5. Place the lid on the base and wrap a length of the 1 ½” Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the box and tie into a bow. Trim ends.
6. Stamp the spider web tag shape with Versamark ink on a scrap of Basic Black cardstock, sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Cut out the tag with the small tag shape from the Halloween Magic Dies. Adhere the tag with a few glue dots to just the lid of the box.
7. Diecut the bats with the bat diecut. Adhere to the lid with glue dots. Adhere one bat to the corner of the tag with a mini black dimensional cut in half.
