ICS Blog Hop - October 2026 - Fall Fun Fold projects

Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for October 2026! This month's we are sharing ideas that are all created using some type of fold to create our projects.

So my project tonight is a cute little Halloween treat box featuring the Spooktacular 6x6" DSP. Note - this DSP is now sold out and retired - but box could be recreated with any Halloween or other DSP.

Here's the box and pattern before I folded up and sealed the Basic Black Cardstock -

After folding and adhering sides and bottom - you can decorate any way you like. So I used a piece of the DSP and cut a piece 3 1/2" x 4" (centering the Jack-o-lantern's face) and added it to the front of the box - then fussy cut extra leaves and adhered and popped up some on dimensionals.

At this point you can finish in several ways - fill and pinch the top together and secure with a clip; or punch holes to put ribbon handles, or as I did - add some pretty stamped tissue paper with your treat.

These sentiments are from the Oh My Fright stamp set and stamped with Basic Black Hybrid and Pumpkin Pie ink around the edge. Here's the finished box -

So simple, cute and reproducable - I hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration for your own little treats.

So now, take a few minutes and hop on through all the blogs below for more ideas - and be sure to leave comments!!
