Halloween will be here in a few days so I’m sharing a quick gift idea – a “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package. It uses the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! July-Dec Mini Catalog. This is one of my favorite “go-to” packages for small hand lotions (approx. 1 ounce size). The packages are very easy and quick to assemble using designer series paper. Carrying through with the Halloween theme, I’m using the coordinating Cutest Halloween Bundle and the Tailored Tags Dies to create simple tags. Friends and family members will enjoy these “non-caloric” Halloween treats!!!
Below is the project information for the “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package and a video on how to score, cut and assemble the hand lotion package.
Cute Halloween Hand Lotion Package Cutting, Scoring & Assembling:
Cute Halloween 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper: cut 4-1/2″ x 6″
on the 4-1/2″ side, score at 2″ and 4″
rotate 90 and score on one 6″ side at 1″ (NOTE: if paper has a vertical design, be sure to score so that pattern will be running vertical and score line is at bottom of the paper.)
turn paper again and with the horizontal 1″ score line at the top of the score board and the 1/2″ vertical score line to the right – score at 1″ and 3″ just up to the 1″ horizontal score line (this is demonstrated in the video below) Alternate Size: if your hand lotion tube is slightly longer, instead of scoring horizontally at 1″, score at 3/4″ – all other measurements remain the same.
Fold & burnish on all score lines.
With paper snips, cut along all of the vertical score lines up to the 1″ horizontal score line. Cut and remove the 1/2″ panel piece below the 1″ horizontal score line. (This will form the bottom of the package.)
Fold along the long vertical score lines and insert the top into the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and punch to create top of the box.
With a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape, Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, create a “tube” by sealing the side of the package. Place the adhesive on the 1/2″ side flap and fold other side to meet – press firmly to seal.
Next, form bottom by folding the flaps and sealing with strong adhesive.

Whenever I need a quick and easy treat holder, I like to create a diaper fold treat holder. It’s the perfect size for holding a small treat. Best of all, multiples can be created quickly. Even though we no longer have visits from treat or treaters, I like to give small treats to family and friends. So, I am am making some diaper fold Halloween Treat Holders using the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper and the Cutest Halloween Bundle. Since the designer series paper pack is 6″ x 6″, there is no cutting necessary making the project even easier! Add a Halloween sentiment, some embellishment, then fill with a treat and it’s done: easy-peasy! I demonstrate how to make the diaper fold Halloween Treat Holder in the assembly video below.

It’s September first and time to start thinking of the arrival of Fall later this month. And what celebration comes in Fall? Halloween, of course! In this post, Cute Halloween meets Pretty Pillow Box Dies. Quick, easy treat holders are made using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies and the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. The holders are perfect for adding several pieces of small individually wrapped candies. To embellish the treat boxes, the Cutest Halloween Bundle continues the theme and adds the finishing touch to each treat holder.
Details and tips for assembling:
Cut a 4-1/2″ x 6″ piece of the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper using the Pretty Pillow Box Die.
Fold and burnish the score lines on the box.
If desired, cut notches with either the edge of a circle punch (I used a retired 1/2″ punch and inserted it along edge of back flaps – see photo) or use a small circle punch to cut notch – just place the die on 1/2 of the paper.
Next, fold the box flat and seal the scallop flap to the front.
Next open the pillow box, fill with treats and close the side flaps.
To embellish the treat boxes:
Use the Halloween Punch from the Cutest Halloween Bundle to cut images from the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. TIP: cut around one of the images from the patterned paper, then use a post-it note strip to hold onto the paper while putting into punch to cut the shape. Great way to eliminate wasting paper!
Next, stamp the sentiment onto a strip of 1/2″ Basic White cardstock & cut flag end using the Banners Pick A Punch. Then, layer the stamped sentiment onto a banner cut from a 3/4″ strip of Highland Heather cardstock. Attach to the top of the pillow box with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete by adding the image punched from the designer series paper.
These cute Halloween meets Pretty Pillow Box Dies treat boxes are easy to make! These treat holders are perfect for making your Halloween treats special.

At last month’s Luv 2 Stamp meeting, one of the make ‘n take projects included a Garden Lane Lotion Holder. Fellow team member, Cindee Wilkinson, created the team project and selected the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper for the project. The holder is wonderful! A 1-oz. tube of the Bath & Body Works hand lotion fits perfectly inside of the box. However, it is of ample size to hold other small gifts or treats. If you participate in craft sales, this is a must project for you to add to your list! It takes time to create and you can decorate it with a variety of tags.
Materials:
Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 6″)
Delightful Tag Topper Punch
Whisper White Cardstock (scrap for tag and for 1″ circle )
Stitched Nested Labels Dies
Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad
Pressed Petals Washi Tape
Embossing Buddy
3/4″ circle punch
Perennial Essence Floral Center
Mossy Meadow cardstock (scraps for leaves)
Magnolia Memories Dies (for leaves dies) or use the Leaf Punch
Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set
Tags and More Accessory Kit (Copper Clip)
Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon
Adhesives: Tear & Tape, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals
You’ll find the directions for assembling the Garden Lane Lotion Holder on Cindee’s blog, Just Sponge It. Just click on the link to be taken to the lotion holder instructions.
To create the tag:
Stamp the desired sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set using Garden Green Classic Stamp Pad onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock (approximately 2″ x 2-1/4″). Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Cut 2 leaves from the Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Magnolia Memory Dies. Or, you may cut leaves using the leaf punch. From a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, punch a 1″ circle. Use the circle as a base for layering the Pressed Petals Washi Tape to create a flower.
TIP: After placing the first layer of 4 petals on the circle, dust the back of the exposed petals with the Embossing Buddy to remove the stickiness. Add next layer, and gently lift petals to apply dust from Embossing Buddy. The petals will stay curled upwards and not stick to the bottom layer.
Complete the flower by adding a Perennial Essence Floral Center. Add the two cut leaves to the back to the flower with mini glue dots and attach to the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Also use the dimensionals to attach the label to the lotion holder. Close the lotion holder using the Copper Clip. Tie a bow around the clip using the 1/4″ Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon.
