Coffin treat box

Hello Friends,

Halloween is approaching and I'm playing around with different things... I already made cards and wanted to try different project...  a 3D one!!!

Well, I saw a beautiful coffin box treat decorated with Edwin image from Magnolia Stamps and made me to feel like to make one too...  so I made one with Edwin stamp, but, unfrotunately, didnt look so good. lol
so I decided to make a very simple, with no image on it!!

I decided to get a template to cut on my silhouette, that way would be easier than cut the template with scissors....

I got the coffin box treat free cuting file from Bird's site,  She has great free cutting files.. you must pay a visit... you are going to love her site!!

So, take a look:

 R.I.P word was cut with Silhouette too and I added Martha Stewart silver glass microbead, so pretty!! 

Twine is from Stamping Scrapping.

I'm entering this project in the following challenges.

1. Addicted to Stamps and More: halloween (09 Oct)
