A Popsicle Box Gets a Spooky Halloween Makeover
Halloween is one of my favorite times to let paper crafting get a little playful! For this project, I took a simple Popsicle Box Die from Pixi Dust Designs and gave it a spooky Frankenstein makeover. I’m always looking for ways to take a basic die and make it feel completely different through color, texture, and layering. The result is this fun Halloween treat box featuring CutCardStock papers, ink-blended die cuts, and lots of little details that bring Frankenstein to life.

Batty for Halloween: A Cute 3D Treat Box
I recently shared a full tutorial on the Pixi Dust Designs YouTube channel showing how I turned the Carrot Box Die Set and Halloween Carrot Box Add-On Die Set into this fun Halloween bat treat box. The full video walks through the construction and assembly, so rather than repeat those steps here, I wanted to talk about the part of the process I enjoy just as much: why the design works and how you can take the same idea and make it your own.
