Pumpkin box - two cool

Are you ready for a fun & festive Fall treat?!  How about these two cool Pumpkin Treat Boxes!  Wouldn't these favors be great at your Halloween Party or at every place setting at your Thanksgiving dinner? 

I created this project for my Best of 25 Years Collector Club using the Best of Halloween stamp set. 

Pumpkin box - trick or treat

They stand about 4" tall and are about 4" wide.  The inside box is 2-1/4" square and 1" deep, so they hold a lot of fun-size goodies, too! 

Pumpkin Treat Box Tutorial

  • Start with a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock.
  • Score along the 5-1/2" side at 2-1/4" and 3-1/4".
  • Score along the 4-1/4" side at 1" and 3-1/4".

Pumpkin box - sticky

  • Snip slits at the score lines on the top and bottom to create three flaps along each side.
  • Add Sticky Strip to two of the flaps on each side and to the sides of the box as shown.

  • Adhere the flaps together to create the box.

  • Die-cut two Pumpkin Pie circles using the third largest Circles Collection Framelits.
  • Score 1/2" from the edge on both circles.
  • Fold on the score line.
  • Emboss with the Stylish Stripes Folder.  Line up the score line perpendicular between two of the stripes.

Pumpkin box - trick or treat 2

I decorated my first pumpkin with the Trick or Treat sentiment from the new Best of Halloween Collector set.  It's stamped in Basic Black on Whisper White and punched with the Modern Label Punch.  Then I layered it onto a Polka Dot Parade die-cut using a framelit from Circle Card Thinlits set.  Frayed Pear Pizzazz Chevron Ribbon and an old Pumpkin Pie button tied with Linen Thread complete the look. Absolutely darling!

Pumpkin box - stem 3

I used the Secret Garden leaf framelit for the Old Olive leaves.

For the Soft Suede stems, I double punched the Artisan Label Punch.  I held the first punch at an angle to get a "crown" shape at the top of the stem.

Pumpkin box - thankful

My Thanksgiving version features a Banner Greetings sentiment in Soft Suede.

Pumpkin box - jack o lantern

And, I couldn't resist decorating the back of my Halloween box as a Jack-o-Lantern!  The triangles were easy to make…just use the tip of the Pennant Builder Punch.  The mouth was double-punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch.  I added Black Glitter with a 2-Way Glue Pen for a little sparkle!  Cute!
