How to Make a Halloween Gift Card + Treat Holder | WOW DIY Project (Video)

DIY Handmade Treat Holder/Gift Card Holder

Ready to make a Halloween project that will seriously WOW?

Today I’m sharing a Halloween version of the Christmas Gift Card Treat Holder I taught this weekend at the NC Demos Fall Quarterly (hosted by my team member Jennifer Hamlin).

At the event, I was honored to serve as “MC” and teach all of the projects to fellow demonstrators — and this one was a huge hit! It’s part treat box, part gift card holder, and 100% fun.

Why You’ll Love This Project

Unlike the quick treats you might hand out to trick-or-treaters, this project is more elaborate — making it perfect for:

  • Teachers & coworkers
  • Party hosts
  • Special friends or family

It’s a gift all on its own, but with space for a gift card AND treats, it’s sure to bring a big smile.

What I Used Today

For this version, I featured the Fright Night stamp and die bundle paired with the Spooky Sweet Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a fun Halloween twist.

The original design was created for Christmas using:

This shows just how versatile the design can be — use it for any season by swapping the papers and stamps!

I’m sure you agree…papercrafting can bring so much joy. Whether you use it for stress relief, to share your creativity, or have meaningful cards and gifts always at your fingertips, papercrafting has value that goes far beyond the projects.

There’s so much we can give our attention to and spend our time doing today, but what if you had something at your fingertips that allows you to create memories and express yourself instead of watching Netflix? That’s where our paper crafting kits come in!


The November 2025 Cultivated Creativity Kit will feature the

Peace on Earth Bundle from Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog. It’s the star of this month’s kit, and it’s packed with creative potential! You’ll craft 4 stunning cards that share heartfelt messages of peace, friendship, and love PLUS a fabulous little giftable! The elegant stamp set and coordinating dies combine classic detail with meaningful sentiments, and you’ll love how we’ve added just the right amount of shimmer using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper for an extra-special touch.

My program is currently full, but you can join the waitlist to be the first notified when spots open up again.
