A Batch of Spooky Treat Boxes

Halloween is one of my favorite times to craft, and this year I put together a set of four trick-or-treat boxes using the adorable Spooktacular Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock. 

Each box has its own personality — a grinning jack-o'-lantern, a fanged vampire, a stitched-up Frankenstein, and a spooky skeleton — making them perfect for filling with candy, handing out as party favors, or tucking in a small treat for someone special.

How the Details Came Together

The "Trick or Treat" tag on each box started with the Oh My Fright stamp set, stamped in Basic Black Hybrid ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock for nice, crisp lines. I then cut it out with one of the dies from the Stitched Stocking dies set, which gave the tag that fun stitched banner shape instead of a plain rectangle.

For the finishing touch, I used a 1" circle punch to create the little curved indentation at the top of each box. It's a small detail, but it makes each box easier to open and gives the whole set a more polished look.

Happy Haunting!

I hope this quartet of trick-or-treat boxes gets you inspired for your own Halloween projects this year. Thanks so much for stopping by — happy stamping!

Spooktacular Skull Halloween Card

Get ready for a little Halloween fun with this spooky skull card featuring the Spooktacular Designer Series Paper! The whimsical skull design makes a great focal point and does much of the work for creating this fun Halloween card.

I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base, followed by a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then Spooktacular Designer Series Paper.

The circle was cut using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Basic Black Hybrid Ink. To add a little extra definition to the circle, I colored around the edges using Pumpkin Pie ink and a sponge dauber.

For a fun finishing touch, I added bats from the retired Glow-in-the-Dark Bats and Ghosts as accents.

I continued the Pumpkin Pie theme on the inside by adding a Pumpkin Pie cardstock panel.

The sentiment was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink, and the cloud of bats was stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink. Both images are from the Oh My Fright stamp set.

This card was a fun and simple way to let the Spooktacular Designer Series Paper take center stage while adding a few extra details to make the card my own.

In case you missed the other Spooktacular Halloween cards in the series, here’s a look at all the cards together.

A spooky little greeting for someone special!
