Welcome to Day 9 of our Tricks and Treats series! Today’s boxes were so much fun to make! I actually ended up making 8 of these and we filled them with a variety of fun things and gave them to different kiddos in our lives.
One extra thing I love about this treat box is that it can hold a gift card with some little candies perfectly. Such a fun way to spruce up the typical gift card holder. I’ve also been known to squish rolled up socks in these for a total surprise to the recipient.
Now that I’ve given you a few ideas what to fill these with, let’s get on with the show.
For these boxes, I figured out my general layout and then did them assembly line style – die cut all the pieces; then stamped, colored and die cut the images; then assembled them all. Pretty easy and I got all 8 of them made in an evening.
Here’s a closer look at one of them all put together. They are so fun and I’m sure the kids will have a blast finding what’s inside.
Do you give treat holders out for Halloween? What sort of goodies do you give? Leave a comment below and tell me about it. I’d love to hear.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Welcome back! Today we’ve got a super cute mini milk carton treat holder to share. To make these cuties I used an older die from Stampin’ Up but many other companies have milk carton style dies available.
To whip these up I just die cut the carton, stamped the starry night background stamp from Lawn Fawn and then assembled the boxes with scrappy tape. Next I stamped, colored and die cut my Happy Howloween pups and accessories and glued them directly to the milk carton. You can glue the carton tops shut but I found over the years that the mini clothespin is super cute and it allows you to open the whole top to get treats in and out so the boxes don’t get destroyed in the process.
Here’s another look with the cartons open. You can see that the clothespin is offset just a bit so it stays on when you open and close the carton. I put some chocolate balls inside that are wrapped in foil to look like eyeballs. It made me laugh to look inside and have something looking out at me.
I hope you’re enjoying all of these treat ideas and find some inspiration in at least one of them.
Thank you for sharing your time with me. I appreciate it. Have a fabulous day!
I’m silly excited to share a trick with you today! I didn’t want to have too many since these were going to kids but what’s the fun if it’s all treats???
We made these super easy and adorable little boxes and squished rubber snakes in each one. Here is the link to the original post where I got my instructions. She has a video which is always helpful as well.
For mine I cut the box out of purple cardstock and simply took the bats from The Rabbit Hole Designs Hex Yeah stamp set and stamped them all over. I punched the wholes, adhered them with Scrappy Tape and tied them up with orange ribbon.
I did contemplate a sentiment strip somewhere on it but my daughter was so excited with the unassuming simplicity that she convinced me to leave them alone. She’s so excited to share these at school. I think she’s honestly more excited to share the tricks than the treats. She must be my child!
Here’s another look from above so you can see the dimension that you end up with.
I’ve made these numerous times in the past and put whatever candy suits me at the time. There is plenty of room for a few Hershey’s kisses or even the mini candy bars.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a faboooolous day!
Thanks for stopping by today. I’m excited to share this project because my husband and I created it together. I found a pattern on Pinterest for this cool ball-type treat holder but it was going to require a lot of tracing and hand cutting…not my favorite. So, together we (he did most of the work) created a cut file for my Cricut so I could let the machine do all the work! It’s fantastic!
These cool ball treat holders require no adhesive to keep them together and are easy to put together and take apart as many times as you want. If you created them for decorations you could take them apart and store them flat too!
I cut the main file out of orange cardstock and then cut one of the sections apart and used 3 of those per ball out of black. Then I used a couple of background stamps I had and stamped texture to them. The black has white polka dots and the orange has orange woodgrain. I glued the black to the orange panels and just going in order hooked the ends around each other until they are all hooked and it’s closed. That’s that!
See when you gently squeeze the top and bottom, the open side shows itself which makes a great place to slide in tricks or treats. 😉 And also for the recipient to get them out without needing to open the whole ball.
These were fun to make and while I was at it I cut out a bundle of red, green and white ones for Christmas too! Stay tuned for those to be finished. I’m thinking some glitter stenciling for those.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Welcome back! Today I’ve got a really fun treat holder for you and can be adapted for other candies and your toppers could be for any occasion! I’ve made these with cute apples on top for Teacher Appreciation Week before and filled them with Smarties. They were a total hit!
These treat bags are from Stampin’ Up but you can get them almost anywhere. They happened to hold 3 packages of Sixlets perfectly which I loved because of the colors being darker and bolder for fall.
For the topper, I die cut 2 Lawn Fawn stitched circles (next to the smallest) for each one and stamped a star background stamp in yellow ink for a little interest. I stamped, colored and die cut my bunnies from Critters in Costume. Then stamped, heat embossed and die cut the word bubble from the same set. The bunny and speech bubble are both popped up with foam squares. Finally, to seal them off I used Scrappy Tape on the back of both circles so they are adhered to each other and to the top of the bag.
These have inspired me to think Christmas and make another set filled with red and green M&Ms. I think that would be so cute! Don’t you?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
I’ve found a new-to-me company and I’m instantly obsessed!!! Trinity Stamps – I love all of their stuff and can’t wait to grow my collection. My first order arrived Saturday and I started playing right away. Today I’m sharing one from the Mr. Snailman set I ordered.
This was a fairly simple, one-layer card and it even required ZERO masking! Hooray for that one!
I stamped my snail and mailbox and colored them with copics. Then I stared at my panel for a very long time. It didn’t help. So, I slept on it and when I woke up in the morning, it hit me…stencils! So I got up and stenciled some cute clouds and gave it a ground and voila! I love it! For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all of the hearts and white gel pen accents throughout the images. After all that I popped the panel on a piece of craft foam for dimension and then to a blue card base and it’s ready to go.
Here’s a closer look at the glossy shine. I love what that adds to an otherwise simple card.
Once this one was finished I had an idea for a Christmas version of this same card. Be on the look out for that one soon!
Thanks for stopping by and, as always, I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Thanks for stopping by again! We’re on day 4 and having so much fun already! Today is a really quick and easy idea that I love making tons of! It’s an origami fold that easily fits all kinds of treats or maybe even a gift card. You can also alter the size simply by making your starting square larger or smaller.
Look at those kiddos! They are seriously to die for!!! I’m going to link you to a great tutorial to make these cute little treat holders HERE. These cuties were made from a 6×6 piece of Doodlebug paper and then embellished with the coordinating Doodle-pops stickers.
Here’s a closer look without the candy in them. Still cute as ever! And who doesn’t have 6×6 pads of paper that would be perfect to use these on!
That black kitty is my absolute favorite! Remember, these are wonderful for Halloween but they would be equally is great for any holiday or party favors too. They are totally customizable depending on the paper you use and the decoration you put on the front.
Stop by tomorrow for more Halloween fun!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a faboolous day!
I know it’s been super busy on here lately but I hope you’re enjoying all of the fun projects and inspiration. Today I’m sharing one of my entries into the current Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge.
After doing a number of these challenges now, I’m admitting that the color ones are the hardest for me. I guess I don’t like being dictated what color things will be. LOL! However, with that being said, I’m so excited about this card today and I hope you like it too!
Here’s how I did it:
Stamped, colored and die cut my Pumpkin Latte images and set them aside.
Using a wreath builder tool I took the 3 smaller images from the set and stamped them in orange, green and brown inks. Then added a shadow of antique linen distress ink to the center, getting lighter as I went out.
I glued the leaves down creating a ground for my girl and popped her and the pumpkin up with foam squares. At this point I added my sentiment to the bottom corner as well.
Then cut a 4.5×4.5 piece of green and stamped a gingham background stamp on it. I wrapped a piece of braided jute twine around it and popped it up with foam tape on a brown card base. Then I popped the stamped panel up with foam tape as well.
For finishing touches I added some gems scattered around and white gel pen accents.
Using the wreath builder was so fun and went much quicker than I expected. This card came together so easily and I just love it! Don’t you?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Welcome back to day 3. Today’s boxes are super fun and extremely versatile! They are a cut file from Lori Whitlock called popcorn favor box. I bought the dog and lion versions because the animals were too cute to pass up! They do have just the popcorn box available as well though.
To create these fun boxes, I used the file to cut out the box from black cardstock. Then I altered the file with the Cricut Design studio to create the panels for the sides and cut them from some Halloween patterned paper in my stash. I inked the edged of the patterned paper with black soot distress ink to tone down the brightness of the green a bit. Then I used scrappy tape and tape runner to put them all together.
Finally, I stamped, colored and colored this cute image from Stampendous called pumpkin kiddo. It’s an older stamp I found when digging deep in my forgotten about stamps and thought it would fit great on these boxes. She is popped up with foam squares on each box.
Then my daughter and I took our Dollar Tree haul and filled them up with fun goodies like glow-in-the-dark bats, a paddle ball, rubber stamps, slime and candy. I think the kids will have a blast and be excited to receive these cuties!
I want to try making these with the dog that comes with the cut file but add a Santa hat for Christmas. Won’t they be so cute?!? I think so. Maybe roll up a pair of socks to fill them. What would you put in these?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Remember to come back tomorrow to see what tricks or treats I have in store to share. Have a fabulous day!
Welcome to our last day of the inspiration hop for the amazing October release! I hope you’ve had so much fun and we can’t wait to see what you all create with this fabulous release!!!
On to today’s projects though! I’m sharing a couple of fun ones with the Caffeinated Reindeer! He’s one of my favorites from this release. I’ll definitely be using him a lot this holiday season!
As soon as I saw the sentiments in the set, I knew I needed to make a treat bag with coffee in it. So that’s what I did with this first project.
It’s a pretty simple but fun design and we all know someone who needs a little extra #reindeerfuel during the holiday season.
Here are the details:
Stamped, colored and die cut my reindeer. I chose to stamp this reindeer on kraft cardstock and used my prismacolors on him too. I love that look these days!
I die cut a treat bag and a glittery snow hill and put them all together.
I adhered my reindeer and stamped the sentiment on a strip that I cut into a banner shape. Then added a red glitter banner behind it before tying it to the slits in the bag.
I put 4 k-cups in the bag and topped it with red tinsel to round out the package. I love all the shimmer with that exhausted reindeer. It’s fun and I know a lot of busy moms who can relate and will love this fun treat during the holidays.
Up next I stepped outside of my comfort zone and drew my own little scene for the next reindeer.
Here’s how I made it:
Stamped, heat embossed and colored my reindeer with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then die cut him out.
I took a 4×5.25 panel and lightly sketched out the general scene I wanted and then went over it with a fine tip black pen. I colored the background with my copics and popped the scene on a white card base.
I stamped my sentiment and cut it into a thin strip.
Then, I popped the reindeer and sentiment strip up with foam squares.
The message of this card cracks me up. If I were Rudolph, pulling an all-nighter for Christmas, I would look worse than this even the day after!
