Cricut Heart Box Wedding Favor

I had alot of fun making this Cricut Heart Box. 

This is a great little box for putting wedding favors in.

Be forewarned that there are lots of pictures to this post and the directions are long, but it really is a very simple project perfect for a beginner.

For this project I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  I began this project by cutting a heart box from TBBM by using my 12x12 mat and using the fit to size feature.  Once it was cut I scored where appropriate using my Scorepal.  Before putting it together I folded where appropriate and made hard creases.  Doing this ahead of time makes putting the box together much easier.  Once you have everything scored and folded use a heavy duty adhesive to put the sides of the box together.  I used my ATG tape.

Next I made the covering for the heart at the top of the box.  To do this I scored and folded a piece of patterned paper right side in (side you want to see goes on the inside of the fold) and then I traced one of the heart pieces – ½ a heart – onto the paper. 

 

 

 

 

              

Then I cut the heart out and cut it in two, followed by adhering the pp pieces to the heart pieces.

 

Next I turned to decorating the sides.  I cut a 2” wide and a 1 ½ “ wide strip of coordinating patterned paper, stacked them and wrapped them around the middle of the box. 

I needed a label but didn’t just want a plain stamped label, I wanted something with dimension.  So I came up with an easy way to frame this label. 

 

First I punched out two labels with my Stampin Up label punch one in white and one in black.  I stamped my white label with PTI’s Boxes Bags and Tags.  Then I took the black label and ran it thru my printer/copier at an enlargement of 120%.

I then cut the label from the copy paper leaving a half inch around all the sides.  I then took some repositionable tape and taped the heck out of the copy and put it down on the back side my patterned paper and cut out the label. (sorry about the horrible pic) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once done with the cutting, peel the copy of the label off of the patterned paper.  I stacked the two labels using pop dots.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this project.  It was really easy and alot of fun.

Have a great day!
