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.
