THE PROJECT:

Magic In This Night Rectangle Tin

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) On a Silicone Craft Sheet or disposable plate, use a Palette Knife to mix Shimmery White Embossing Paste with drops Blackberry Bliss Ink Refill until you get a nice rich color.

2) Make sure the top of the Rectangular Tin is clean. Hold a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask over the top of the box. You can use tape to hold it in place or just hold it steady.

3) Add a generous coating of the colored embossing paste over the mask and smooth it over the entire top surface with a Palette Knife. The embossing pasted dries rapidly, so work quickly and don’t worry about being perfect.

4) Once you finish covering the entire surface, lift off the mask right away. Wash everything that has Embossing Paste on it so that it doesn’t dry on your tools or mask. Set the box aside to dry. Depending on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the embossing paste it can dry in about an hour, but could take several hours.

5) Stamp the large and small bat images on Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink. Cover generously with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap off excess powder and then heat emboss with the Heat Tool.

6) Die cut the bats with the coordinating dies. Die cut Black Glitter Paper with the smaller label die.

7) Adhere the bats to the glitter paper label with Mini Glue Dots or Stampin’ SEAL+.

8) Once the Embossing Paste is completely dry, adhere the label to the box with Mini Glue Dots or Stampin’ SEAL+.

9) Fill the box with your treats or gifts.

10) Cut 18″ of each ribbon. Wrap them longways around the box and knot them together. Trim ribbon ends.
