I used my Cricut Expressions cutting machine to cut the box shape. The shape came from the pre-designed cut file in the Tie the Knot cartridge.
I made several of the green one for my sister. She put little treats in it to give away at her office.

i love your crafts! where do you purchase your cutters and other instruments? would like to try something on my own, your posts inspire me, i wish you'd post more of your crafts soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine!
DeleteI am wishing the same too... Hehe... I am currently working on "re-re-re-designing" the blog template. I am planning to finish it and relaunch before the month ends. I actually have a lot of craft posts in my draft folder. I hope you'll keep visiting the blog.
I bought my cutter from a US seller at ebay. My uncle was kind to take it home with him when he visited some 5 yrs ago.
There is a local craft store here in the Philippines that sells the Cricut Expressions, and some other brand of cutting machine. The store is a candy land for me. Check out their website at http://www.memorylanestore.net/index.html.
Hi there! These boxes look gorgeous! I was wondering which paper did you use and what was the thickness??? Thanks for sharing...

Hello, Cocotte! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteThe papers I used for the boxes are the 220gsm specialty papers from the "Royal Flamingo" line made by Veco paper corp here in the Philippines. I got them from National Bookstore (SM Megamall) for PhP46.00 ($1.00).
It's about 1/4 of a millimeter thick. I have successfully cut thicker papers with the machine I used by doing multiple cuts.
