Halloween has a way of sneaking up on me! I was getting excited about all of the new fall and Christmas products when I remembered that I still wanted to share a Halloween class.
So before October gets here, we're having a little Spooktacular Halloween crafting fun!
For this free Stampin’ Up! class, I created six easy Halloween projects using the Spooktacular Designer Series Paper — three handmade cards and three Halloween treat packages.
One of the things I really like about this paper is how much of the decorating is already done for you. The fun pumpkin, Frankenstein, Dracula and skeleton designs make it easy to create cute Halloween projects without spending hours on each one.
We started with three handmade Halloween cards.
The first is an easy Dracula Halloween card. This one is about as simple as it gets! I trimmed the printed Dracula image for the card front, added a Trick or Treat greeting and finished it with one of the little bat embellishments.
Next came my favorite — the pumpkin fun-fold Halloween card. The pumpkin design continues across the folded front panels, giving you a fun card that stands for display but is still very easy to make.
Our third card features Frankenstein. Simple Granny Apple Green and black layers let that big Frankenstein face be the star of the card.
Easy Halloween Treat Boxes & Packaging
Then we moved on to three Halloween treat projects.
The pumpkin gable treat box started as a white box. I added Pumpkin Pie color and pieces of the Spooktacular paper to turn it into one big jack-o'-lantern.
These boxes are roomy enough for several different treats and would be fun for grandchildren, teachers, nursing home residents, party favors or Halloween surprises.
For the Frankenstein treat box, I used one 6" x 6" Frankenstein sheet for the lid and created a slightly smaller cardstock box for the bottom.
You could add some shredded paper and candy inside, tie it up with baker's twine or leave Frank just as he is.
And finally... the skeleton made an appearance! 😂
The sour cream style Halloween treat holder is probably the quickest project in the class. Add a couple pieces of candy before closing the final end and you have an easy treat that could be made in multiples for trick-or-treaters or parties.

If you like Halloween that is more cute than scary, I think you'll have fun with these projects.
