Create a project inspired by Father's Day

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

 

So for my project I created the Shirt Box from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge. Since my father has passed and I have not had a living Grandfather since I was very young, I decided that this little box was going to go to my daughters father.

 

 

 

 

He is huge fan of chocolate so I filled it with all of these little chocolates.

 

 

 

Creating this box was very easy...the hardest part was finding the right paper to use. Once I found the right paper it was all just about cutting it and putting it together...super easy!!!

 

 

I used these items to create my shirt box:

• DCWV All About Boys Stack - shirt paper
• brown cardstock - tie
• Dad clear stamp
• Brown ink

I am entering my Dad Shirt Box in the following challenges:

• Scrappy Moms - Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Dad Rocks

Scary Pumpkin Treat Box and Luminary

Today I bring to you a 2 in 1 - Pumpkin Treat Box and Luminary.

 

Here you can see it as a treat box and a pretty good size treat box too, 4 1/2 wide x 4 1/4 high.

 

 Filled with lots of yummy chocolate treats!

 





 

Here is a view of the back.

The sides.

I'm not sure if you can see it in the photos but I did give the pumpkin some texture and it really looks very similar to the real thing.

 

 

And now what this treat box looks like as a luminary...scary!!!!

 

 

I used these items to create my Pumpkin Treat Box and Luminary:

• Design Studio
• Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge - pumpkin
• October 31st Cricut cartridge - face of the pumpkin - Using the Design Studio I hid the outer contours and just used the face and placed inside the pumpkin (so it would be cut out of the pumpkin)
• Fiskars Texture Plate (carpet) - on the pumpkin
• brown ink - on the edges
• Michael's $1.00 Wooden stamp - on the back
