Last week I share with you two Step Box cards….because I couldn’t think of a better way to describe them. You can see that post here: Step Right Up…..on a Step Box Card! But I’ve since seen them referred to as Step Panel cards, so I’m going to go with that…..although there is a little “box” at bottom, that is perfect for hiding Halloween Treats. So I switched up my colors and papers and came up with these two Treat Boxes.
All you need to do to make them into Treat Boxes is to slide a little candy into the bottom “box” portion…..or essentially hiding it under the step.
A full size bag of M&M’s fits perfectly if you fold under the end of the bag. But you can also fit 2 smaller size candy bars in there too! I purchased these at candy bars at Dollar Tree, they come in a pack of 6 each. I placed them inside a 3” x 6” Gusseted bag and the rolled the end of the bag and secured it with a staple. Then I simply slip it “under the step”.
It’s a perfect fit. Obviously you can’t mail these with the candy inside like you can if it was just a card, but wouldn’t it make a nice Trick or Treat package for any children that might come by on Halloween night? Or maybe as a nice treat for your co-workers or friends?
These are easy and fun to make, so hop to it….there are only a few more days until Halloween! These are the general supplies (and the measurements) that you will need:
Base Cardstock – Cut 4 ¼” x 11”; Score at 5 ½”, 6 ¾”, 8 ¾” and 10”
Front Panel Coordinating Cardstock – Cut 2 ¾” x 5 ⅝”; Score at ⅜” and 1 ⅝”
Designer Series Paper
Card Back – Cut 4” x 3 ¼”
Card Box Base – Cut 4” x 2 ¾” (Cut 4” x 1”, 4” x 1 ¾”)
Front Panel – CUt 2 ½” x 4 ¾” (Cut 2 ½” x 1”, 2 ½” x 3 ¾”)
Whisper White Cardstock – either a 2” Circle or a 2” x 2” Square for Sentiment
Adhesive: Tear & Tape and Stamp & Seal (or Multipurpose Liquid Glue), Dimensionals

And if you watch to the end, there are other examples of this same card layout, but with different papers. Here they all are:
Hope you’ll give these cards/boxes a try! I’m off to make some more!
Happy Stamping!
