Project Recipe
Start by die cutting a Basic Black cardstock pillowbox with the Pretty Pillowbox dies. Use the bone folder to burnish all the pillowbox score lines. Dry emboss the pillowbox with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. Punch two Basic Black cardstock decorative circles with the Decorative Circle Punch and dry emboss the circles with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.
Use the bone folder to reburnish the score lines on your pillowbox and to slightly curl your box. Form the pillowbox by gluing the stitched top of the pillowbox down to the body of the box.
Once the top is glued down your pillowbox is a tube with the openings on both sides. Create notches in the side back flaps (inner) to make the pillowbox easier to open using a hole punch (or 1/8" or 1/2" circle punch) and paper snips. Use your fingers to close the flaps and to help keep the box's shape.
Wrap the pillowbox with the Metallic Mesh ribbon (about 22"). After making sure the ribbon is tight against the box and the loose ends are even and use black Stampin' Dimensionals to add an embossed circle to the ribbon centered on the pillowbox (but don't press the circle down and attach it to the box).
Remove the Metallic Mesh ribbon from the pillowbox, flip over the ribbon and add the second embossed Basic Black cardstock circle to the back of the first circle (add glue dots if the dimensionals aren't sticky enough through the ribbon. Then rewrap the pillowbox so the embossed circle is in the center of the box again and tie with a bow.
Stamp the witch image from the Best Witches stamp set on Basic White cardstock in Memento Black ink. Color the image with Stampin' Blends and add Wink of Stella for sparkle. Fussy cut out the image with paper snips and glue it to the embossed circle on the ribbon around the pillowbox. Add rhinestones to the embossed circle around the image.
