Cake in a Box

This an oldy, but always a favorite.  My daughter requests this one every time she has a birthday party to attend

This post has the file download  as well as other helpful information.

This is a zipped file.  You will need to "extract all" to use it. 

mini hand sanitizer cover-free svg file

This is a stampin up project, but you know I hate cutting things out by hand, so I made it into an svg file.  You get 4 covers out of an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of paper.  These will be great around the holidays! (It's too early to even think about THAT!!!)  There is a video here by Dawn showing how to assemble it.

mailbox

This is a file I made for valentine's day last year.  I added a larger version to the file, so now there are 2 sizes.  This one measures 5" long by 4" high by 2 1/2" wide  

I have a video from last year here showing how to put it together.  The file download link is at the bottom of this post.

This is the mailbox I made last year.

Leslie posted  this link on her blog yesterday.

They were so cute I had to make a scal file for them!

Corner baskets

 A friend of mine sent me this link last week (thanks Leslie!)  She thought it would make a nice cut file, and I agree, so here you go!

Victoria's Secret Box Video

Hopefully this video will answer some of the questions I have received about this box.  If anyone still needs help, just let me know!
I also added the svg file to the post below.

Victoria's Secret Box file, and some cut and print experiments!

Here is the scal2 file I promised for the box.

Below are some pictures of my recent box files combined with the cut and print scal feature (video down a few posts)  I've included a separate file for them in case anyone is brave and wants to try it out!  Placement is still tricky.  I think  it is just because there are so many variables-how your printer grabs the paper each time, how your mat loads each time....  But I think it holds a lot of potential, and am looking forward to trying lots of projects with it.  It has certainly helped me understand  and feel more comfortable with using 

the layers feature!  The vs box was just done on white cardstock, and the mailbox was done on pink cardstock.

This one printed dead on!

I love that it colored in the petal sections.  So much easier and cleaner than a separate layer.

The red one was a little off, but not too bad

I love how this turned out.  It is just a single sheet of pink cardstock.  All the details are printed.

Rectangle box-2 versions

My mother-in-law needed 18 boxes for some little gifts, so I put these together for her.  There are 2 versions-a plain box and one with a decorative flap with holes for ribbon.  The small box is the size she needed, (fits 8 1/2 x 11 paper) the larger is a full sheet of 12 x 12 paper.

assembly tip-I staple the end flaps.  It's quick and easy and holds well.  Then just fold the outside flap up and adhere to hide your staple.  I put these together very quickly.  A nice ribbon bow will dress them up:0)

Pumpkin Box-VIDEO & file

It's been months since I did a video, but here is a quick one.  I needed a small treat box for Halloween, and this is what I came up with.  It's quick and easy.  The file is for scal 2 and the download link is available below.

Teapot gift box

Isn't this the cutest "box"???? It's completely made of cardstock!  I bought the file from My Time Made Easy.  I hate to buy files, but I wanted this for a friend and I simply didn't have the time to figure this one out. It will hold a ton of tea bags, although this one is filled with chocolate :0)  It was a little tricky to put together with all of the curves, but it went pretty well for the first one.  I used hot glue which was probably not the best choice.  I'm going to try a different adhesive for the next one and will let you know.

Candy Box & Card

I finally made a box!!!!  It has been forever, and most of you know I have a "thing" for boxes!  I used my new GLITTER gel pens to decorate this set.  I absolutely LOVE them.  I cannot believe how much sparkle is packed into a single line of ink.  I was pretty skeptical about how much they would actually "glitter".  Was I ever surprised.  I tried to capture the sparkle in the close up of the card, but it doesn't do it justice.

The pens are available at Chomas Creations.

Wedding Favors

Here are the favors from my son's wedding.  We made chocolate covered pretzels to put in them.  We covered the pretzels with milk chocolate almond bark, then drizzled white chocolate over them.  We placed them in clear cello bags and tied them with curling ribbon, then placed them in the boxes.  We added a tag to the back of the box that said "we tied the knot", and tied a satin ribbon around the box.  The box only needs one strip of adhesive.  We made 200 of these!!!  They were a huge hit-there wasn't a pretzel left after the wedding.  People were actually looking for any "extra" boxes!
