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.
