Step 1 of 7

Cut TWO Coffin's from black cardstock. I drew mine freehand but you can find templates online if you don't feel confident in doing it yourself. 

Score across ONE, roughly 2cm down from the top and apply red liner tape ABOVE the score line. Remove the backing from the tape, carefully line them up then firmly push down, to create your Coffin shaped card. Pop to one side. 

Step 2 of 7

Remove this texture printed paper from the Creepy Chronicles paper pack and using your coffin card as a template, cut it down slightly smaller than the card blank (which will create the "mat").

Ink around the edges with your Distress Inks. 

Step 3 of 7

Ink up the branch from the Hocus Pocus set, with the Frayed Burlap, give it a quick spritz of water and stamp coming on to the left of your paper. 

Step 4 of 7

Ink the bird with the Black Soot and stamp within the stamped branch (there are gaps in the design, to indicate where to position it). 

Step 5 of 7

Stamp a few of the bats from the Trick or Treat set, in Midnight as required. 

Step 6 of 7

Stamp the sentiment down the right side of the coffin. 

Step 7 of 7

Mat on to your coffin card blank to finish. 

You made it!
