Altered Cricut Box…Friends Never Fade…

I love making handmade gifts, I guess this is why I love Stampin’ Up! so much, because I have everything I need to make whatever I want, in coordinating colours. You can make your own boxes with Stampin’ Up! cardstock but will be limited to the size and also the weight of items that can be placed inside, therefore on the odd occasion that a more sturdy box is required you can do one of two things, either buy a cheap box and decorate it or source unused boxes from around your home, never throw things like these away.

For this project I used an empty cricut cartridge box that was given to me by a friend (she actually gave me quite a few… more fool her I say… LOL…), so maybe i’ll give her this as a thank you gift. I decorated the outside with the absolutely gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Crisp DSP, and the Stampin’ Up! Top Note Die which was embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and finished off with Stampin’ Up! Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint, I then placed 12 very cute 7X7 handmade cards inside.

I will show a few with different designs in other posts.

This is the inside of the box, I have made a partition inside and it holds plenty of my handmade 7X7 Birthday and Thank You cards, these little cards fit perfectly inside the Stampin’ Up! Mini Square Envelopes
