This project was the spookiest and most fun I’ve had in ages! To make your own gather some of the fabulous new Tim Holtz Halloween goodies. Wrap a paper box in paper. Paint the lid gold. Add PPA (affiliate links used – PPA is a fave and available at Ellen Hutson, Simon Says Stamp, and more) and get wild!
Start with a few big pieces…
add a few more…
and then once you have the big pieces put in place, add little details!
My “creepy” girl was altered by simply applying some orange paint that I wiped off, and then the same with gold. Just acrylic dabber paint from Ranger – no big thing. The black on the edges of the lid is just archival ink. While this project looks super intense and like a ton of work you’d be surprised how fun, quick, and easy these come together! I’m going to be sharing a video post of my process next month so that those of you who want the step-by-step process can see just how easy it can all be.
This has become a part of my décor for this year – I simply can’t part with it! It makes for a fun little addition and boy did I have a good time. Things are sure spooooky around here…

Spooly-licious!
LOVE this box! I especially love that you have that doll standing up on the lid and LOVE the tiny beads everywhere!
MAYYYYY! I just had such an enjoyable spin through your blog! What insanely clever things you’ve been up to! I adore this box and love how masterfully you combined all those great embellies on the top. It made it look like the girl was in the middle of an epic and beautiful treasure hunt of Halloween goodies! I also adore the cards you’ve been making (as usual) and how you incorporate that fabulous whimsical stitching. Thanks for continuing to inspire and innovate!
