My Pink Stamper Design Team Post - April

 Wedding Themed: Cake Box

Put candy or other yummy goodies inside the box to thank your guests for attending. Make a large cake by putting many cake boxes together. These could even be the center piece on the table.

The ribbon is for looks but also to hold the box closed. This picture shows how the cake box is put together.

How To Make:

Cake Box (button #45) -  Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge - 8"

Hearts (button #27-blackout) - Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge - 1.25" (cut 2x)

Stamp - My Pink Stamper - Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set

First cut out the cake box.  Then score the lines and test fold it to make sure the point will fold right. If you want to stamp the sentiment directly on the box then do it before it is glued together. I tried to stamp it on the box and that was to late so I had to stamp on another paper and then glue that down. Cut 2 hearts, pop up, and adhere. Glue the box togeher except for the square end. Use adhesive (tape runner) on the ribbon that will go on the 2 sides on the box. But don't let any tape go on the end or your guests won't get the box open. I found it helped to adhere the ribbon to the box because it would stay in place and not slide around. Insert your candy or yummy goodies into the box. Tie a beautiful bow to keep the box closed. And you have a simple but beautiful cake box. Change the stamp and decorations to make it work for any type of party favor. This project was alot of fun to make and I love how it turned out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Well...this was not the original project I made for this post. We were suppose to make a party favor using any theme. I found a beautiful box with a cake on it and I loved the colors, but I just didn't love the finished project. Some projects you will fall in love with and other's just aren't your favorite. I still want to share it with you.





These are front and back views.

Ornament

If you are looking for the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, "Deck the Halls", click HERE.  I want to thank all of my new followers. I have gotten so many wonderful comments. THANK YOU! I love comments. So many of you have wanted to try vinyl but haven't yet....try it! It is so much fun to work with. I have another project for you that I used vinyl and even altered it. All the vinyl was cut with the following settings. Blade 3, Speed 3, and Pressure 3.

I made this ornament for an ornament exchange tomorrow. It was alot of fun to create. 

Then I made a box to wrap it in.

I glittered a 2 5/8" ornament with Martha Stewart turquoise glitter. Then cut the snowman from Doodlecharms using the blackout feature at 1 1/2". Then Stamped it with Peachy Keen Snow Cutie stamp & Stazon Ink. I tied embroidery floss & a bell around its neck before I pushed it onto the ornament. I also cut snowflakes from the shift layer of the #23 button on Jolly Holidays. Those were cut at 3" & 2 3/4".

 The box is from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. It is cut using the window feature at 8 3/4". I used some scrap acetate that I have left from the cover of a stamp set. I used tacky tape to adhere it. Then tied it off with ribbon and some more bells. I think all of the ribbon I purchased from Michaels. 

I had so much fun with this project I just had to post it and share it with you.

Ornament Box - FCCB Challenge #38

 Ornament Box

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB)

#38 Ribbon Challenge- to create something with ribbon. Join us over at FCCB for this week's challenge & to see all the other design teams great ribbon projects.

I created this box for a 2 5/8" ornament that I made. It fits very snug in this box cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge. It was cut at 8 3/4" which is "fit to page" on a 12x12 page.

The box is button #38 using the window function key.

The ribbon is Paper Trey Ink - 

Dark Chocolate 5/8"

It looked beautiful on this box. It holds it shape well & stayed in place.

The paper is Core'dinations, which is my new favorite paper.

I used a piece of  acetate that came with some clear stamps, to cover the window. But transparency works fine, also. I like to use what I have. I used tacky tape to adhere it & for a strong hold.

I added white paper crinkle for extra padding & decoration in the box.

Cricut Cartridge Storage

I wanted to share with you how I store my Cricut Cartridges. I got the inspiration from a youtube video & give the lady credit at the end of my video. However, I made it my own. I love using photo boxes because they are the perfect size. I think they hold about 18 cartridges, books, and overlays in each box.

Tag Journal & 1st birthday card

Tag Journal

I made both of these tag journal's for gifts. Once for a baby shower & the other for a 1st birthday.

The insides are the same but the covers are different.

I used paper from K&Company Lion Sleeps 12x12 Paper Pad

I bound it with 1" book rings

All the tags are white with brown ribbon stapled to it. I left them plain so they could put a picture or write something on it.

Here is the recipe for the tag journal.

Cricut Cartridges Used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More:

6 - Tag - 5.65"

6 - Folders- 11.35"

2 - Covers - 11.35"

This is the folder & on my gypsy I moved the half the of the folder off my mat that I didn't need. So I only cut half the folder to make a cover. If you don't have a gypsy just cut the folder out & then cut the part off that you need for the cover.

Baby Cover:

I cut it regular & then with the shadow feature also.

Quinn Cover:

To make a 1/2 circle I moved it on my gypsy 1/2 off the mat so it would cut it the way I wanted.

This is a card that I made to go with Quinn's Tag Journal.
