Black Cat Licorice

I am so excited to get to share a sneak peek at one of Papertrey Ink's new sets coming out on the 15th at midnight. I created my Black Cat Licorice tin using the new Spooky Sweets II set and a nugget tin. I first created the band to go around my tin by stamping the black cat and the border stamp repeatedly. Then, I matted it with black cardstock and scored it to fit around my tin.

For my label, I stamped the label circle and added my sentiment in the center. I cut it out with a nestability circle die and made a black mat for it. I punched holes for my brads. Then, I created my custom brads and cat charms.

I created my own velvet like brads by altering some brads. (Let me know if you'd like a tutorial for making your own fuzzy brads. *wink*) Then, I stamped the black cat image using staz on black on shrink plastic. I punched a hole in the top and trimmed my images. Then, I shrank them using my heat gun. To finish off my tin, I added my cat charms and brads to my label before adding the label to my tin and filling it with black licorice.

This set is so much fun and there are so many possibilities for using it. Be sure to check out Nichole's post with creations from all the design team members and then, visit the design team's blogs for more info on their creations.

Have a great day!
