Halloween Pop-Up Coffin - treat box

So last week I shared another version of this coffin box from Stampin' Up!  It has been so much fun playing with these boxes and making up treat containers for my grandkids to enjoy.

Today I'm sharing a POP-UP version.  First I decorated the top of the box with some Designer Series paper  - I got a simple template by tracing around the box top and cutting out in cardboard so I could reuse it.  Next I added a few components from the September Paper Pumpkin kit to decorate the lid.

But what is really fun about this treat box, is that when you open the lid - up pops this little Paper Pumpkin kit skeleton.  How fun is that.  He is just attached to the inside of the box with some acetate.  After you fill the box with treats - bend mister skeleton back and close the box - when you open it - this is what you will see :)

Halloween Lined Coffin Treat Box

Just look at these Treat Boxes Stampin' Up Has for Halloween - they come together in a jiff with just a little extra sticky tape and glue dots.  They come 12 to a package for only $7.00 and if you order now you'll still have time to get and decorate for Halloween.  You can find them on page 53 of the Holiday catalog - product #150451.

We had a treat box class this week and my customers that attended got to make two of these.  After putting the boxes together we used a piece of the Monster Bash Designer series paper (pg 53 #150447) to trace the lid and cut out.  Sponged the DSP with Memento ink and adhered with snail to the top of the box. 

Then we stamped the little Dracula from the Spooktacular Bash stamp set (pg 53, #150544), and colored the border with a Real Red marker.  Next we cut him and the beautiful frilly frame out, using the Ornate Frames dies (pg 53, #150664).  Layering the frame with snail and popping Dracula up on dimensionals.  You can get the Spooktacular Bundle (set and dies) at a 10% discount by using item number #153040.

The last step - that really completed the box for me - was that using extra sticky tape, we lined the box with Real Red Ruched Ribbon - it was all satiny and coffin like.  Just a great touch - and the ribbon is beautiful for using with all your Christmas holiday projects.

Hope you like this treat box - stop by over the next few days as I share more Halloween ideas - and get your Crafting On!  ~Maureen
