Halloween Treat Boxes Tutorial by Brigit

Hello there, it’s Brigit here, I have a quick tutorial on how I made these cute Halloween treat boxes. When I need a bunch of boxes I like to use the print and cut feature to create labels this way I can put them together very quickly. For these two I used two sheets from Doodlebug Design’s Halloween Parade paper collection.

 For this project, I used the 2 on 12×12 Handle Ribbon Treat Box which you can get here at Lori’s shop or at the Silhouette Design Store here.  As the name applies you can get two of these on one sheet of 12 x 12 paper so it’s a great little treat box if you need a bunch.

 I used the labels from the 5 Halloween Apothecary Labels set and a couple from the Halloween Label Set.  These are sold individually at the Silhouette Design Store, witches brew, spider legs, arsenic poison, crows feet, bat wings, old salem, and another bat wings. I sized them to fit the box and copied to a new page in Silhouette Studio, I use the Business Edition.

I printed out my sheet and cut them on my Brother ScanNCut 2 which is what I prefer to use cause I’m not limited to registration marks, but I do have a Cameo so if I was going to print n cut with it I would check the registration marks under the page setup.

 For the apothecary labels when I selected cut edge the inside pieces were still selected so I grouped them made a duplicate, released and changed the color to white then aligned them together.

I was able to select cut edge then and the inside pieces weren’t selected.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!


Happy Halloween with Courtney

Hi everyone! Happy Halloween! Courtney from Court’s Crafts here with Lori’s new Haunted House Box 2!!!! It is NOT too late to add this to your home decor for tonight or to make one and fill it with treats for the party you are headed too! You could also make these for the grandkids!

I added some cute critters and embellishments since we don’t really do “spooky” at our house. The patterned papers you choose really make this house. Match it to your mood!

I added some stitching to the tree to give it personality. And I stitched around the house pieces as well.

Honestly, this chimney had me at hello. I loved it in green for the example and wanted to keep it that way. Its wonky nature and how the owl is looking scared of the spider = LOVE. I would advise cutting the back tree out of chipboard or thick cardstock a could of times. I want to reinforce mine before giving it to the kids! 🙂

Here it is! Check it out in Lori’s store HERE and whip one out for tonight! You could easily adapt this for Thanksgiving using fall papers! You can grab it from the Silhouette Store HERE.

Hello, everyone. I’m so happy to be back and sharing another project featuring Lori Whitlock’s cutting files with you. With Halloween just a few days away I thought why not make these fun witch boots with stockings. They can be used as Halloween decor or you could fill them with some yummy treats.

I enlarged the boots to 18″ tall. The image was cut into two sections, then pieced back together, since my cardstock and mat were only 12×12.

I used the boot cut out, as a stencil.  After tracing out the boots (2 for each boot) on foam board, I used a craft knife to cut them out. For the sides, some thin chipboard was used. Here’s what they looked like once put together.

The boots and stockings were then covered with fun Halloween papers.

A few more of Lori’s files were used to finish off the piece. The skull and crossbones on the knee high socks.

The bat on the back of the boot and some webs on the cuff and toe of the boots.

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!!! 🙂

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope you all have a Happy and safe Halloween!:)  Jennifer

These huggers are the perfect size to hold a fun sized candy bar or something smaller such as a chocolate Kiss or Rolo.  They go together so quickly too! I just used an extra strong glue dot to hold the candy in place in the arms.  Here are some close-ups…
