Cricut Christmas Box

I made another Cricut box and thought I would share it with you.

For this project you will need the Cricut Tags Bags Boxes and More Cartridge (set on 5 ½ inches), a 12x12 piece of cardstock (I used double sided to get the two colors) and a matching 12x12 piece of patterned paper.  This project can be made using the original Cricut or the Cricut Expression.  Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

First cut a Cricut Matchbox 1 with a window and the Cricut Matchbox 2.  Then cut a Matchbox 1 on the piece of patterned paper.

Cut 1/8 inch from each side of the PP Matchbox 1.  Adhere to the cardstock Matchbox 1.  Score and fold along lines. Be very careful when scoring and folding as this can – to be blunt – screw up the whole box.  Trust me; I did two Matchbox 2’s for this project.

  

Cut and adhere acetate to inside of card.  Fold and adhere Matchbox 1.  Fold and adhere Matchbox 2 (bottom). 

For the tag I cut a 3 ¼” Rounded 3 tag from the window cut (leftover) from the Matchbox 1.  I then cut a tree out of the patterned paper and used pop dots.  I stamped the sentiment using SU Lots of Thoughts and added a simple white ribbon.

 

Fill the box with your favorite homemade candy or some simple tea lights.  If you make this Cricut box larger you could put some notecards in it for a wonderful Christmas present.

 

Enjoy and Have a Great Day!
