Things have been pretty busy here this week preparing for my Annual Holiday Extravaganza Class & All-day Crop. Add in the stress of wondering if our city & neighborhood would be one that would be impacted by PG&E’s Power Shutoff and it feels as though I’m scrambling to get things done (& hope they don’t become undone–like food purchased for Saturday’s event going bad if the power is shut off!)

This darling little Halloween Box is so quick and easy to put together with the help of Close To My Heart’s Cricut Artiste Collection. It’s the perfect little box to put a little treat in for your special trick or treaters this Halloween. Making fun little treats for those special people couldn’t be easier since the Cricut does all the work. Simply select the size you want (a recommended size is given in the Cricut handbook) and then fold all the score lines, sponge the edges if you’d like–for a little more spooky look–and then glue the tabs together and voila, you have an amazing Halloween Box for giving treats in.
We used the Little Monsters Stamp Set which is so adorable with it’s spooky cute characters that can be colored in using our ShinHan Alcohol Markers or our Watercolor Pencils. I don’t think you could create a bad project using this stamp set! It’s just so cute! I would recommend prepping all your pieces for the box and adhering them before putting the box all together. It’ll just make it easier to have nice contact when adhering the spooky creatures to the box.
