Silhouette Cameo 3D Valentine Candy Box

Posted by superjoy on January 27, 2012 13 Comments

It's almost my birthday!! I mean...it's almost Valentine's Day!

I love working with Lori's files! I heart 3D items!!

Today I used Lori Whitlock’s great Candy Box 3D file and some bits of soft and pretty floral ribbon to create these romantic and useful boxes. I cut the boxes out using my Silhouette Cameo. I bought my Cameo from Expressions Vinyl.

What?! How can you make that much stuff from a half a sheet of paper?

A half a sheet of 12x12 = AWESOME BOX!

I am so amazed that a half a sheet of 12×12 paper created one of these boxes. Doesn’t that blow your mind? It’s hard to believe that with half a sheet of paper and some adhesive you can have such a special container that is as much the gift as whatever it contains, but it’s true!

I will fold paper before I will fold laundry.

Just fold and glue!

Your paper cutter does all the work. Your job? Pretty easy. You’re going to fold on the perforated lines, glue the long tab and the two small tabs. Simple!

What we need here is a side view. Click, click.

Cool edges! ... and check out those Joy's Life stamps!

I used the Ek Real Estate Sign Punchand sentiments from Joy’s Life Yummy Puns and Holiday Occasions stamps to create some sweet tags for the boxes. Using Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Cat’s Eye Inkpad in Rouge, I added a little color to the tags. You can make these boxes fit any occasion by changing the paper and varying the ties on the ends. Thank you, Lori, for another amazing and creative file! I love using them!

Joy, I just love this! I do not have the Silhouette, but STOP making me drool over it! Like Sherri C said above me, I may just need to figure out a way to make this via the Gyspy! Or Craftroom! Thanks so much and please fill it up with goodies and send to me!
