Digi Choosday Project | DIY Halloween Treat Box with Card Cover featuring Polkadoodles Cute Little Witch Boo

Today I’m excited to share a fun and functional Halloween project featuring Polkadoodles’ adorable Cute Little Witch digi stamp and the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings Set.








This Halloween treat box looks like a mini book on the outside, but open it up and you’ll find a drawer perfect for stashing sweets or small gifts. The card flap gives it that extra handmade touch - and of course, I used glitter cardstock for that always needed sparkle!



Materials Used:

  • Patterned Paper

  • Plain Cardstock

  • Glitter Cardstock

  • Polkadoodles Digi Stamp: Cute Little Witch

  • Sentiment: “Best Witches” from Polkadoodles’ Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings

  • Alcohol Markers (I used Ohuhu Markers – colors listed below)

  • Cutterpillar Pro / Paper trimmer

  • Cutterpillar Crease / Score board

  • Bearly Art Precision Glue

  • Garterized string

  • Button

  • Tassel

  • Foam Tape

  • Corner Punch or Thumb Notch Punch


How to Make the Box:


Outer Cover (Card Flap Base)

  1. Cut plain cardstock to 3” x 11 ½”.



  2. Score along the long side at 3”, 4”, 7”, 8”, and 11”.



  3. Fold along score lines and glue the small end tab to the back of the second score line. This creates your card-like box cover.







Drawer

  1. Cut cardstock to 5” x 4 ⅞”.



  2. Score 1” on all four sides.



  3. Cut the short vertical score lines to form flaps. Miter cut the square corners for easier folding.




  4. Fold and glue the flaps inside to form a sturdy drawer.








Decorating the Box

  • Cut six strips of patterned paper: ¾” x 2 ¾” — glue these around the outer box and drawer sides.








  • Cut five squares: 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” — for the front flap, back, and insides. I used glitter paper for the outer cover instead of patterned paper for extra sparkle!








 Cover Design

  • On the outer flap, layer a 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” plain cardstock and top it with a 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” glitter square.

  • Color the Cute Little Witch digi with your favorite alcohol markers.

  • Adhere her with foam tape to make her pop. 




Drawer Handle & Pocket Details

  • Punch two holes on the drawer front panel. I marked the spots with pencil first to ensure that I punch exactly where I want to holes to be.

     

     

  • Insert a garter string with a tassel and button, then knot it inside—just tight enough to hold, but loose enough to pull.







  • Cut 2 ¾” x 1 ½” cardstock and notch the top to make a pocket. Glue only the sides and bottom to the inner flap.




  • Insert a 2” x 2” notecard into the pocket for a sweet message!


 

Add the “Best Witches” sentiment to finish it off! 

Fill It Up!



Now comes the fun part—fill your treat drawer with candies, mini toys, or even a small gift. These are perfect for Halloween parties, trick-or-treat handouts, or even thoughtful favors for friends and coworkers.


Thanks for stopping by! I hope this spooky-cute treat box inspires your next Halloween craft session. Don’t forget to check out Polkadoodles’ adorable digis and printables—they make every project extra magical. 


Happy haunting and happy crafting!

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

Polkadoodles Project - Kicking Off Christmas with a Clear Front Easel Card

First Christmas card of the year — check! I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive  easel clear front card ? I love how this one turned out. For this project, I combined die cutting, digital stamps, and a bit of dimension to create a unique card that’s both sturdy and see-through (yes, acetate powers!). Here’s how I made it and everything I used: Supplies Used: Plain cardstock (blue) Acetate sheet Glitter cardstock Lawn Fawn  – Snow Flurries Backdrop dies Sizzix Big Shot Ohuhu Markers Foam tape Bearly Art Precision Glue Cricut Maker Polkadoodles Digi Stamp  – Winnie White Christmas Polkadoodles Sentiment  – Seasons Greetings Paper trimmer 🛠️ How I Made It: Cut the acetate  to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. Die cut your glitter cardstock  using any border die you like. I used Lawn Fawn’s  Snow Flurries Backdrop  for a pretty, intricate and sparkly touch. Cut plain cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 inc...

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
