Here is a special decoration you can make to add the Halloween spirit to your bathroom or window sill. It is easily made in an evening by using Stampin' Up!'s Fancy Favorite die and designer paper. You can make more for each season of the year by changing out the designer paper, inks, and stamps. Use a battery operated tea light for that special glow.

- Lay the Fancy Favor die cut down on your work space with the scored side up. Center the 2 1/4" square piece of card stock between the score lines on one of the wide sides of the box and trace around it. Repeat on the other wide side. Center the 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" template on one of the narrow sides of the box and trace around it. Repeat on the other narrow side.
- Use the paper cutter to cut out the traced shapes.
- Cut two pieces of vellum 3" square and two pieces 2" x 3". Stamp desired images in center of each piece of vellum with Craft Basic Black ink. Allow ink to dry thoroughly.
- Adhere vellum on inside of box centering the images and using 2-Way Glue Pen.
- Fold the box on all score lines and crease with a bone folder. Use 2-Way Glue Pen on tab and glue the open side together. Fold in the two shorter tabs of the bottom. Put glue on both of the larger tabs and fold them in pressing the bottom together by putting your fingers inside the box.
- Punch out two Bitty Bats from Basic Black card stock and two from the designer paper. Adhere them to your luminary with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Add a flameless tea light inside the box and enjoy!
