- Cracker Box Base: Basic Black Cardstock (I used about a 5-1/2 x 6-1/4" which gives a little extra space just in case)
- (5) pieces of Them Bones DSP - Bat Pattern Orange Background - 5/8 x 2-3/8"
- (2) pieces of Gingham Ribbon (About 4 or 5" depending on desired length - these are knotted, no bows so account for that in measuring)
- (1) piece of Basic White Cardstock (for die cut Ghost from Tricks or Treats Dies) 1 x 1-3/4"
- (1) piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (1 xx 2")
INSTRUCTIONS
Die cut your cracker box with (full size) Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Decorate your box by gluing DSP panels to 5 of the 6 panels.
Fill with desired treat! Seal it (the last flap overlaps) with your desired adhesive. I recommend something kids can get open later!
Tie ribbon at either end. You will see the cracker box forming nicely when you tighten the ribbon. Trim off excess.
Glue "boo" die cut to ghost. Place mini dimensional on back of ghost and add to cracker box. SSSSSSOOOOOO CUTE!

Assemble your die cut candy corn.
Stamp "Boo to you" in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of the die cut candy corn. This sentiment is from the Bag of Bones stamp set.

BONE-JOUR Cracker Box
- Cracker Box Base: Basic White Cardstock - 5-1/2 x 6-1/4"
- (2) pieces of Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon (About 4 or 5" - these are knotted, no bows so account for that in measuring)
- (4) Fussy Cut Tombstones (Gray) from Them Bones DSP Tombstone Pattern Paper - various sizes
- (1) die cut banner in Basic White Cardstock (from Cracker and Treat Box Dies) 3/4 x 2-1/2 piece to cut banner
- (1) die cut kitty cat from Them Bones DSP (Skeleton sheet) the Bag of Bones Dies will cut these out. You could also stamp the cat
INSTRUCTIONS
For this cracker box, we are going to use the Hounds-tooth pattern stencil from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks in the new Mini Catalog. Using a blending brush and Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stencil your pattern on the cardstock prior to cutting your cracker box.
TIP: I recommend taping (with removable tape) the cardstock and the stencil to keep it from moving when you add your color
Die cut cracker box. Add tombstones slightly crooked with mini dimensionals. Stamp "Bone-Jour" from Bag of Bones stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink too. Glue the banner across the bottom of the tombstones. Add the cat next to the banner.
THANKFUL Cracker Box
- Cracker Box Base: Cajun Craze Cardstock - 5-1/2 x 6-1/4"
- (5) pieces of Them Bones DSP - Orange Hounds-tooth pattern - 5/8 x 2-3/8"
- (2) pieces of copper ribbon (About 4 or 5" depending on desired length - these are knotted, no bows so account for that in measuring)
- (1) piece of Basic White Cardstock (for stitched banner die cut from Cracker and Treat Box Dies) 1 x 2-1/2"
- (1) piece of Basic White Cardstock (for leaf die cut from Autumn Leaves Dies) 2 x 2"
INSTRUCTIONS
Steps are same as the two prior cracker boxes with DSP strips. For stamping this banner use Cajun Craze ink with "I'm Thankful" sentiment from Autumn Leaves stamp set. Add to cracker box with mini dimensional.
Add color to the die cut leaf with blending brush or sponge dauber in Pumpkin Pie. Tuck next to sentiment with mini dimensional as well.
AUTUMN Cracker Box
- Cracker Box Base: Basic White Cardstock - 5-1/2 x 6-1/4"
- (2) pieces of Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon (About 4 or 5" - these are knotted, no bows so account for that in measuring)
- (5) Die Cut Leaves from Autumn Leaves Dies - various sizes and shapes
- (1) die cut piece in Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (from Tricks & Treats Dies) 2-1/2 x 4"
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the same steps to secure leaf stencil but this time use a variety of colors:
- Acorns - Pecan Pie
- Oak Leaves - Old Olive
- Maple Leaf - Pumpkin Pie
- Other Leaf - Crushed Curry
- Sprigs and Branches - Cajun Craze
Dab on saturated color with sponge daubers.
TIP: Mini Sponge Daubers are better if you have one per color. Also, sponge daubers are better with stencils when you dab as opposed to a circular motion which can snag or rip the sponge. Dab it! My recommendation!
You will also color the variety of die cut leaves with these shades and your mini sponge daubers so you can do this at the same time.
Stamp autumn sentiment onto the Pumpkin Pie die cut. Stamp to the left so you can decorate the right side with your leaves. Once your leafs have been added secure to cracker box with mini dimensional.
For extra sparkle add some Wink of Stella to the veins of the leaves.
I hope you enjoyed these cracker box ideas!
Happy Crafting!
