Candy Box
The file for this box came from the Silhouette store. It's another one by 3 under 3 and more.... I used her tutorial to make the assembly easier for me.
The boxes she designs aren't large and can be made from three sheets of 12 x 12 paper. This box measures 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 5" and has a tilt out door to access what you place inside.
It's just the right size to keep on your desk for some Hershey's kisses or maybe even some Reese's mini peanut butter cups.

Tea Box
Kat Schriber posted a box like this on Facebook and it intrigued me enough to purchase the file to make one from the Silhouette store.
Let's just say that if I hadn't seen the link for a tutorial at the bottom of the page that had the file on it, I'd never have been able to assemble this! I studied the online tutorial, gave up and called DH in to see if he could figure it out. After about 15 minutes, he gave up on the tutorial and just folded it.
I printed the tutorial, cut this one from some scrap paper, then numbered the pieces and followed the photo instructions step by step. The cardstock I used for this one is light weight. I have one cut from some Bazzill, which is much heavier, ready to assemble and embellish tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see if I can figure out how to convert the file to MTC format. I do NOT like using Silhouette software. I never did figure out how to add extra pages of mats inside the file so that I could separate the pieces into the box exterior, lid, and embellishments each group on their own mat. The whole process of dragging the pieces you don't want to cut off into the grey area around the mat is quite the hassle when you compare it to MTC. In MTC, I could have had three mats, two for the box pieces and one for the embellishments. In Silhouette software, I had to drag the pieces off the mat, leaving as many as I could cut from a single sheet and repeat that process three times.
The box turned out cute and it's going to be the perfect size to store tea bags.
Here's the link to the designer's page and tutorial 3 Under 3 and More...

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Card
Splitcoast Stampers provided the inspiration for this card.
It's been a long time since I pulled out my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to do any cuts. I used Design Studio to re-size the tag to fit the stamps I used.
The birds are a Hero Arts stamp, the flowers are SU Sweet Summer stamps, the words are Paper Studio stamps.
It's not really clear in the photo, but the bow is tied using a dotted organza ribbon and a pink gross grain. I found a package of the tiny safety pins in my sewing supply drawer and used that to attach the tags.
Then I put pop dots behind the bow and tags to hold them in place.
