Valentine's Tootsie Wrappers













A very fast and easy way to cover up a Tootsie Pop for Valentine's Day. I finished 42 of these in under 45 minutes. I can also see interchanging the heart with other shapes for other occasions. Hope you enjoy making a few of these yourself! Oh yeah, I used Plantin Schoolbook for these.

Bunnies, Bunnies, Bunnies!



Last night I spent about 6 hours making these tiny treat boxes for the 36 children, in the two classrooms where I am a remedial paraprofessional. I re-created a bunny face and feet designed by Jody P. (from the Cricut Messageboard) and designed my own teeny treat box with a window. I filled the boxes with Smartie candies.
They were truly a labor of love! Nothing justifies spending hours crafting like the smile and genuine thank you of a child!

My Version of a One Cupcake Box


There have been many versions of the cupcake box bouncing around - here is mine. It will hold one, very nicely decorated cupcake. There is a front cutout for viewing the cupcake when the box is closed. Again this cutout could be interchanged with other shapes, as long as it remains the about the same size.
I'd love to see your creations!

A Matchbook Purse

I know these have been done before but not yet by me! Here is a Matchbook Fold-over Purse. You place your goodies in clear bags (found at Walmart) and then staple them under the inside flap. Fold over the scallop top, tie with a ribbon bow and your done. How much easier could that be! A favorite of mine for a quick but cute goodies bag!

A Box W/Attached Cover

Another box - one can never have enough boxes, I say - saw a similar one on Angel Stamper's blog and had to recreate one for the Cricut. I used a bunny cut out for the front of mine, since Easter is fast approaching; but any shape can be interchanged. Since it's not too big, I was able to make it within the 6x12 mat for the Baby Bug too! Enjoy!

My Love of Boxes Continues...


Here is rather cute, larger box for holding anything you desire to fill it with. It has a front cutout - which you could switch out for different occasions. It measures about 5" wide by 2" deep. This one is a little too big for Baby Buggers (sorry) and was made with Plantin Schoolbook. (This has been my cartridge of choice for making cutfiles with lately)

Mini Bon-Bon Boxes


These Bon-Bon holders were actually modeled after ones that I saw on the Scor-Pal site, Feb. 09 E-zine. They would probably hold a couple nuggets or something similar in size. Both holders are on the one file. They were made with Plantin Schoolbook with the Baby Bug mat. There is a page for both showing the scoring lines so be sure NOT to cut that page when making some! Enjoy!

A Big Bon-Bon Box


If you checked out Scor-Pal projects lately, you'll see in the Feb. 09 E-Zine, that this BonBon Box was made strictly using a Scor-Pal. I figured why not try to duplicate something similar with the Design Studio. Much easier to cut!

This is the larger - with the base measuring just about 2 1/2" square. Probably big enough for a Reese PB Cup. (Of course there is NO chocolate in my house when I need it!-LOL)

Made using Plantin Schoolbook - since I figured more people have that than George!

A Tiny-Teeny Box


I saw a similar box on Angel Stamper's blog and thought this would be easy to recreate in Design Studio. It's a cute little box for holding just the right amount of tiny treats. The finished box measures only 2" x 2". There are two files - one for George and one for Plantin Schoolbook. (Both on one file) It is Baby Bug compatible!
I think I will be making these for the kids in my classes - not too big and not too hard to make!

Scallop Edged Mini Purse

Perfect for party favors or just the right size to hold a gift card. I am having lots of fun creating different types of mini purses. I also think this would make a really cute small Easter purse. It is Baby Bug compatible!

I should mention that for this purse, you cut out two of the main purse pieces. Then glue the bottom flaps together. The side tabs will not meet, but will be glued to the purse strap.

Teapot Gift Card Holder



After seeing a teapot gift holder by the very talented Susan Edwards on the Cricut Messageboard, I knew I had to have one. Unfortunately, I didn't have the Dreams Come True cartridge that she used to make hers...so I decided to try to recreate one using George and Plantin Schoolbook. I think it came out pretty darn good. I can't wait to have a reason to give one away!

Gift Card Wallet


This is my version of a gift card wallet that I had seen floating around. I made these for my father and father-in-law for Father's Day. I put lottery tickets in the front pockets and actual money in the main section of the wallet. This would make a great graduation gift too! The file contains cuts for George and Plantin Schoolbook. There are pages for the Baby Bug, along with pages for the Big Bug. Enjoy!

Teacup


This is another very simple idea for a quick and cute gift. This cup will hold your favorite teabag. Again a great teacher or "thinking of you" gift. On this one I used my Cuttlebug to emboss it and make it look like a china cup. I can see this decorated so many different ways!

Snowman Soup or Coffee Packet Mugs



Here is a cut file for a mug to hold cocoa or coffee packets. There are two different style handles on the one file. These make really cute teacher gifts and again are simple to make.

Sometiimes it's all about the simplicity -

Gift Card Holders


I always like to have a few of these on hand in case I need them. These are very easy to assemble and decorate. I like to use my Cuttlebug to emboss both the tag and card holder. These have become one of my favorite gift card holders to make because of the simplicity and because they can be used for any occasion!
