Bewitching Treat Box

These boxes are a fun way to gift a little treat to someone special for Halloween!

I created my own box using the Bewitching Stamp & Punch Bundle. It's filled with my favorite, Dove chocolates!

I'm sharing this project at a new challenge blog (new to me, anyway!), Stampin' Up! Only Challenges. The theme for #312 is Halloween!

Here's the template. Cut a piece of cardstock 7-1/2" x 6-3/4". I used Pumpkin Pie. Score the long side at 1-1/2", 2", 4-1/2", and 5". Score the short side at 1", 1-1/2", 5-1/4" & 5-3/4". Using paper snips, cut out the 4 corners along score lines as shown in the orange shaded areas.

The designer paper is Plaid Tidings from 2020 (retired). The top piece is 1-1/4" x 3-1/2" (round the corners). The bottom piece is 2-1/4" x 3-1/2". Be sure to use a strong adhesive to assemble the box - double sided Tear & Tape or Liquid Multi-purpose Glue.

Added a little surprise message on the inside!

The box is held closed with a belly band, 1" x 7", cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The witches hat is stamped in black. I used the Stamparatus so I could stamp it 2-3 times until it was a deep, rich black. The dots are colored with Stampin' Blends. The hat band is made from a piece of white glimmer cardstock colored with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends marker.

I would LOVE to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you live in the U.S., you can order your papercrafting supplies from my online store. Just click any of the images below. So easy!

Sweet Treats for Ghosties & Goblins

I had a lot of fun with these hinged lid boxes! They are so easy to make, and don't take a lot of materials.

Here's the basic recipe:

The 6 tabs are secured with Tear & Tape or your favorite double-sided tape adhesive. Be sure to adhere the center tabs to the box bottom (not the lid). This is super important for the lid to fit properly on the box.

The top is decorated with a 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" piece of designer paper. The moon is a 2" circle of cardstock. The cat is punched from Basic Black cardstock and accented with a box tied from Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. How simple!

I added a little tag on the side to the box. This one is from the September 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit "Harvest & Haunts".

This box holds 6 Hershey's Nuggets wrapped in 1" x 3" strips of designer paper.

I hope you'll try this box and let me know what you think. I could come up with so many ways to decorate these! The lid fits quite well on these boxes, but if you want extra security you could make a belly band and decorate that. If you want to see an example, check this blog post.

Triangular Treat Box

Hi Friends, welcome!. I found a new style of treat box to share with you that I've had so much fun making. It's this triangular box -

The outside section is a wrap-around belly band that slides off to reveal this -

It's fun to see everyone's reaction when they pop this open! Holds one Lindor truffle perfectly.

Here's what you need to make this box:

6" x 6" piece of Designer Paper
2" x 7-1/2" piece of coordinating cardstock
1-7/8" x 4" piece of Designer Paper for the banner

Starting with the 6" x 6" piece of Designer Paper, score the full length of the paper at the 2" mark on all 4 sides. I used the 2019-2021 In-Color designer series paper pack for this step.

With a stylus (I used the stylus tip on my Take Your Pick tool) and a ruler, draw the diagonal lines on each of the 4 corner sections as shown.

Next, use the stylus and ruler to draw the diagonal lines in the top & bottom center section, as shown. Measure 3" from either corner to find the center of the square, then draw a line going to each of the 2 bottom corners. A pad of paper (like a notebook) makes a good surface to do this on, as it has just enough give to make a good impression but not enough to tear the cardstock.

Using long-bladed scissors, trim off each of the four corners as shown in the grayed out section on the template.

Your designer paper should look like this. Now you're ready to fold & burnish on all the scorelines.

Squeeze the folds together to form the triangle shape and fold the 2" x 7-1/2" strip of cardstock around, pinching it at the corners. Burnish the creases on the belly band with a bone folder. Wrap it around the box and secure the ends together with liquid glue.

Score the 4" long piece of designer paper in the center at 2". Flag both ends using the Triple Banner Punch. Attach it on top of the belly band with liquid glue.

This is the largest snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Dies. I think the Ice Stampin' Glitter looks just like sugar! A drop of liquid glue keeps it from flaking off.

Stamp this sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas on white cardstock & use a 1-1/8" punch or die to cut it out. Attach the sentiment and the snowflake with liquid glue.
