Directions:

• Use the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine*, a White Mat Board Sheet*, and the Sizzix XL Card Caddy Die by Eileen Hull* to create the base for the treat box.
• Paint the base and sides of the box with Jack-o-lantern acrylic paint*.  Once the paint is dry, add a few lighter highlights using the Orange Twist Acrylic Paint.
• Use the ink applicator and Vintage Photo Distress Ink* to the edges of the box.
• FYI, Vintage Photo Ink is my favorite go to ink to give something an aged look.

• I created the Jack-o-Lantern face using StyleTechCraft Black Glossy Craft Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.
• Lay the Vinyl Transfer Tape* over the jack-o-lantern face.  Rub over the Transfer Tape* with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the design from the white paper backing.
• Lay the Transfer Tape* onto the treat box and rub over the design.
• Remove the Transfer Tape*.

• Adhere the sides to the card caddy base using Rapid Fuse Adhesive*.  The Die comes with scored side pieces that are perfect for putting the box together.  I wasn’t thinking and cut two pieces of matboard for my sides.  Both will work.  (the one that comes with the die would have been a lot easier)

• Create a handle for the pumpkin treat box using wire and small wood beads.
• Punch a hole on both sides of the box and attach the handle.
