Halloween Treat Character Boxes

I’m going to show you the last of my Halloween Treat Boxes I have made for the trick-or-treaters this year! Hopefully we will get a decent number of kids, but we don’t get as many as we had years ago.

These darling character boxes you see in the top photo I found online at www.stampingamore.com. This lady has made quite a few of these style boxes for different seasons and every one is cute! She has videos so you can watch and make at the same time.These boxes are super easy to make and then you just make whatever face or design you like on the front.

The first one I made, watching the video, was Dracula, the purple box. It turned out so cute I wanted to make more. The next one of hers that I copied is the black cat with a witch’s hat. I think I added some extra glimmer stars that I punched out. I did pull out some retired punches for all of these projects.

Next I made the green Frankenstein box. It is her design but by then I could whip up a box pretty easily and I’ve made lots of Frankenstein boxes and cards through the years.

By then I was ready to strike out on my own with the pumpkin box. I copied a face I saw on Pinterest but I think it was an ad and didn’t give a name. I wanted something to make it look more like a pumpkin so I simply cut a piece of cardstock in a curve and then sponged on Pumpkin Pie ink along that curve to give the pumpkin it’s curves! I dug out a retired stamp set with leaves the sizes wanted and stamped and fussy-cut some fall leaves in various colors of green and orange. The stem of the pumpkin is just a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock I cut by hand, with no thought! I tied a bow with some orange and black baker’s twine. I really liked my pumpkin treat box!

I also wanted to make a ghost. I just drew the ghost freehand because a ghost can look like almost any shape! The box is black but I sponged on some white kraft ink to look spooky. I also edged the ghost with a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend marker. To make the ghost even cuter, I die cut the letters for “Boo” in the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.

Halloween Treat Boxes with Candy

At the last minute I found some Square Pillow Boxes in my stash so I thought why not decorate those and fill with candy for Halloween! I pulled out my retired Cat Punch and also used the Spooky Sweet Designer Series Paper.

I wanted this pillow boxes to be quick and easy so I just sponged on some Gorgeous Grape ink only on the front and on the top flap. I cut some circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies for backgrounds. And for embellishment, I added some little black adhesive stars that I had from “somewhere”, maybe a Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the fun Shimmer Foam Star Stickers and some rhinestones and sequins for a collar on the black cats.

And finally, one more Book Treat Box treat! This one has a stamped character from the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set, colored with Stampin’ Blends. It was so fun decorating these Book Treat Boxes!

Sweet & Spooky Kit Three Treat Boxes

If you are a Halloween lover as I am, you will want to get this Sweet & Spooky Kit in the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection. Get a head start on Halloween! I only put together three of the treat boxes for the sake of storage at the moment, but I’m going to make all the tags to put on the boxes and then they will be almost ready to go at Halloween! Any of these, especially the one that looks like a haunted house, would make a cute Halloween decoration in your home!

The treat boxes are all easy to make! Sticky strip adhesive is even included. The boxes are all scored so all you have to do is crease on all the folds, maybe run a Bone Folder or something across the creases just to make them folded crisply, then adhere the sides and bottom. The directions show you exactly where to put the adhesive tape. The fun part is making the tags and the directions show which pieces you need and where to put adhesive. Just clip on to the box with the cute orange paper clips and the black & white twine tied through the tag.
