Sizzix Triangle Box Gift
The stamps are from the Joy’s Life Mother & Daughter set.
I am in LOVE with Sizzix dies. This one was so easy and fun to use! Let me show you how it works.
I’m using the Sizzix #656303 Long Triangle box die. You’ll need the Sizzix extended cutting pads with this die. That’s what you see in the photo. Here they are all pretty because I haven’t used them yet, but after I run the die through, they’ll get all scratched up. That’s the way it goes. 😉
I ran a 6×12 sheet of paper through 1 time and it gave me these two pieces. The die scores the paper too, which is so nice. All I had to do was bend the pieces at the score marks. That may look like 2 different sheets of paper, but it’s a double sided sheet that I used. The paper is by Anna Griffin, the Isabelle Collection. I bought it last year. It’s so pretty.
I used my ATG gun to tape the parts that needed taping. When you make a box it’s important to use a strong adhesive. Though it’s not shown, I used my Crop A Dile Big Bite to punch a hole in either side of the triangle box. Then I threaded ribbon through to make a handle and added some candy hearts.
Here’s a link to a video about how to use the Crop A Dile and the Crop A Dile Big Bite.
Having some punches makes crafting life easier. These punches are by Marvy Uchida. They are my favorite for this kind of punching. Martha Stewart Punches are my favorite for detailed punching. I used the 2 punches shown to create the tag. The smaller of the hearts is inked with ColorBox Fluid Chalk inkpad in Rouge. I also embossed the pink heart using the D’vine Swirl Cuttlebug folder. I love that one.
The best thing about the stamp set that I used is that if you don’t think your Mother-in-law is fabulous, don’t worry about it. You can switch it out with another term or name. I know a bunch of you just breathed a sigh of relief. LOL! My Mother & Daughter stamp set works perfectly with my Father & Son set too. You can check them out on the Joy’s Life Products Page.

What a cute box! I guess my favorite item is my expression – but I just got my gypsy and I managed to weld two hearts together and make alot of cards that my granddaughters could use, so that is fast becoming my favorite. I don’t even know everything it can do and I love it already. I also love my punches. Thanks for all your great advice!
Don’t forget to pre-order your YUMMY PUN stamps while there’s still FREE SHIPPING!
I love everyday objects that I can reuse in crafting. 🙂
Your box was so cute. please enter me in your drawing thanks so much
What a lucky Mother In-law you have. I’m beginning to love Sizzics too. I was glad the Zippy woke up to help take your pictures. LOL
I remember that video! that was a cool tool… Your box is very cute .. love the colors. one of my fav things are my embossing folders.

Very cute idea! Love the double sided paper…but I think my most favorite crafting item is my Cricut Imagine!
Once I got through the rocky period when I first got it, I began to love it!
Especially with all the inspiration from your blog!
I love the box and of course, Zippy, he is so adorable! My favorite craft item would have to be my Expression and everything that goes with it!
I love the project, it was very nice! My favorite crafting items have to be my Cricut Expressions, Big Kick, and M.S. Punches (all around). Winter Woodland and Create a Critter are my two favorite carts!
Loved your project. My favorite crafting item is definitely the Big Shot. I also love to collect punches. I use them all the time. Thanks for a chance to win some candy.

That’s a hard thing to choose because everything is my favorite. But to pick only one item…I would have to say my Cricut Machine(s). Thank you Joy for the opportunity to win. Love your projects 🙂
Very cute box! My favorite would have to be my Cricut and cartridges but I do love my clear stamps too!

I really wanted a Sizzix Big Shot for Christmas. I got an Epic Six, which I’m not sure is at all similar. Oh well. I LOVE that Anna Griffin paper. One of my favorite stacks! It’s so sad that Hobby Lobby doesn’t carry it anymore! (at least mine doesn’t…)
My favorite crafting item? I love my stamps from Verve… I’m also a paper junkie. I really love Anna Griffin and DCWV. Of course I love my Cricut. And Martha Stewart punches. This list could go on forever….
Thanks for the chance to win Joy!!
So cute!
I love my cricut machine. I have so many faves. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win.

Favorite Craft Item, Cricut Machine then of course its all of my stamps I am torn between the two I love to stamp and find it a compatible thing to do when I use both together but I really like to use my Cricut more than anything. Thanks for the awesome giveaway even if I don’t win I will be going to get some of those ribbon storage. Awesome Idea and great solution to my Color Coordinated Gallon size ziploc bags.
Cute project!!! My favorite crafting item has to be punches. Especially ones that can build on each other like the hearts here!!! I love layers!!! Even better, a punch and a cordinating stamp!!! LOVE them!!!

I would guess my Cricut Expression and my Xyron machines…I’ve gotten the MTC software, but I still find myself purchasing the cartridges (mostly when they are on sale)…still trying to “learn” the MTC (I’m a slow learner…when something finally clicks, I say to myself “boy I could have had a V*”)
Love your videos and tips and tricks.
that was “boy I could have had a V8”)
My favorite crafting items are my Cricut and my Sure Cuts A Lot.
I love the triangle box you made! On the hunt for a new SVG to use.
Thanks for all you do!

I love that die, didn’t know it make up so easily. My favorite crafting things are my Cricut (still new at using it), my Cuttlebug and Sizzix dies
Good Morning Joy. Love the little box. My favorite craft item I would have to say my cricut and gypsy but I don’t use them EVERY day. I come to you and a few other blogs daily for my crafting fix and lots of ideas.
Good Morning to Zippy also !!
Paper, can’t do much without that. Another great project:)
My favorite craft thing is my Cricut AND my paper AND my stamps AND embellishments AND my crop-a-diles AND my punches AND my fiskars paper trimmer AND little purse thingey that embosses AND – AND – why do you think my craft room looks like it does? Everything is my favorite at one time or another AND I have to have it! LOL! But that’s okay because DH says it is cheaper than therapy (HA – little does he know!) and he loves me and how happy I am when I create.
So many favorite crafting items, but Cricut, ATG, and I-Rock are the top 3. Love your site and all of your great ideas!
With the wall of crafting cubes from Michaels, and my cricut, and my gypsy, my favorite crafting items actually comes from your website. I find myself picking up the ‘things’ you show in your blog to craft with. From punches, to glitter, to vinyl, to the mint containers for the magnets…YOU are my favorite craft item Joy. Im glad you are on the web, otherwise, I would make my husband move next door to you so we could be neighbors and I would be over everyday so Zippy could play with Pinko.
Another wonderful project Joy. Now I’m off to find the sizzix die. Thanks for the inspiration. papermemories4u(at)yahoo(dot)com
Cute Project! I would have to say that the most used and loved tool in my entire room is my Cricut, next would be my Crop-a-Dile!!! 🙂
Don’t you just love your Sizzix machine?? While I love my Sizzix Big Shot, my favorite craft tool has to be my ATG gun! I love that I don’t constantly run out of adhesive!! Best invention ever!

Very cute and a good one for the granboys.thx for sharing again
I love paper!!!! then rubber stamps, Cricut expression, gypsy are tied and then all of the Cuddlebug & Sizzix type dies and embossings folders! Well then we have to move on to the next love…beading!!!! Love, love, love, gems, stones & baubles!!!! Too bad Joy we don’t live just a littles closer, I would teach you what I know about beading!!!!! I have also made glass beads, how’s that for crazy!!!!!
Love your box. My favorite has to be my cricut and my cuttlebug. Love them!
Hi Joy! I LOVE my cricut and gypsy. I also love paper, embossing folders, and atg gun! But, most of all, I love my organizational tools. (Wouldn’t be able to do anything if I wasn’t organized!!!!)
Cute box! My girls and I made pillow boxes that I cut out on my Cricut using SCAL. They each have a heart cutout, which we covered on the inside of the box with clear packing tape and then put the sticky side into glitter! They turned out great and the girls can’t wait to give them away at school. I’d love to win this organizer…..someday I’m going to win SOMETHING on your giveaways!!! 🙂
