As you can see the Autumn Fox and I are still busy and having fun making Halloween treat boxes. Like the last set of boxes, these were made with an i-crafter die (Valentine Gable Box). As with the i-crafter die used in the last post, this set comes with small dies to make labels and embellishments but I chose not to use them because I was making Halloween themed boxes. It was easy to use the pages in the Simple Stories 6x8 Faboolous paper pad to die cut out the boxes ( only two sheets needed per box) and hand cut the labels from pages within the pad.
Fabri-tac glue and Heiko tape were used to assemble the boxes and simple thin ribbons were tied through the die cut holes. I like the unique style of these boxes and the fact that they have adequate space for yummy treats. I had fun matching the papers to the labels contained within the Simple Stories paper pad.
For this box the ghost label was hand cut and iridescent glitter applied over the ghost image that was spread with glue.This box was probably the most successful of the three boxes because the label fit well on the box with just a little trimming and the extra part of the label was adhered to the back of the box (not shown). The basic supplies for these boxes are very minimal and many boxes can be constructed from just the paper pad and and die set. I hope you'll take the time to make some special Halloween treat boxes for the special little (or big) ones in your life. I know they'll always remember your generous handcrafted Halloween sweetness.

Looks like this i Crafter die makes quick work out of making cute treat boxes! So sad that they closed their business.
What? I can’t believe they aren’t in business!!!
