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.Β I cut the boxes out using my Silhouette Cameo.
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!
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!
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.Β 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!
Cute boxes!!
Love these! The papers are too perfect.
Sooooo STINKIN’ CUTE! Love those boxes and the SU paper! Adorable Joy!

Hello, I am trying to find this design in the silhouette store and can’t find it…is it no longer available? I would love to make these for my son’s valentines
Hi Melissa!
I think some things got moved around on the Silhouette site. Here’s a link to the file from the designer’s site: Candy Shaped Box. I’ll make those changes to the post too. π
