Mother's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the blog hop of Exploring Cricut!  If you came from Liz's blog you have come to the last stop.  I created a gift box for my project using the cartridges Sweet Tooth Boxes, Art Philosophy, and Artiste.  The finished size of the box is 6 x 6 and perfect for some jewelry or candy like I did here. The directions and materials for the project  is under the pictures.  Be sure to join us for the challenge and link by Saturday, May 11. 

I cut the candy box at 10 inches from Sweet Tooth Boxes and scored the box with my scor pal.

I used Scor Tape to secure it together and cut the lid from some Bo Bunny pattern paper.

The finished box measures 6 x 6 when finished.  I made a doily for the top from Artiste on page 31 Accent 1 cut at 5.5 inches.  The number #1 Mom is cut at 3.5 inches and is on page 74.  The flowers are from the Art Philosophy cartridge cut at 5.5 and 6.5 inches and I sprayed them with a glimmer mist.  Cardstock is from Michaels.  I also chalked the edges.  I cut some of the pattern paper and wrapped the little hershey miniatures for the box as a goodie.  Hope you are enjoying the blog hop and leave me a comment for a chance at this blog candy below.  I will pick a winner by random.org and announce Sunday on my blog.  If you missed any of our fabulous design teams projects, start back at Exploring Cricut or follow this list.

Exploring Cricut Thursday Post

Hope you all are having a great week. I am filling in today at Exploring Cricut and I put together this cute treat box using the cartridges Sweet Tooth Boxes and flowers cut from Art Philosophy. The box was cut at 8 inches and I did the square box with the heart lid. I put some acrylic over the heart. The flowers were cut at 3 inches and inked and Kaiser Craft red pearls added to the center. This was a quick and simple project to put together. I used Teresa Collins Cupid paper and cardstock from Bazzill. The ribbon was something in my stash.

I am also entering this in Fantabulous Cricuts challenge this week.

Finally finished something!

Well, I still am blocked, but I said I was going to finish something and I did. I plan on working today on some other stuff too. I am forcing myself to get it together lol. I know we have all been there. This is a cute little treat box I created using the Sweet Tooth Boxes. It is the square box cut at 8 inches and I used the square lid so I could decorate the top. The flowers are cut at assorted sizes from Flower Shoppe in the heart shape. I also used Ribbons and Rosettes for the border on the side of the box and cute the scallop border 1 x 6 and used 4 pieces and trimmed it. The paper is some from my stash of Teresa Collins Crush Cupids and I used a punch for the swirls on the top. I also used a button brad from my collection.
