Pillow Box

I made this pillow box as my make and take for Scrapbook Expo last weekend. It is very easy and is the perfect size for  a gift card.

I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686) to cut the pattern out of Scholastic paper (X7159B). Use page 28 in the Art Philosophy booklet. Font Layer, shift, <Flower4>, 5 1/2 inches. Keeping it at 5 1/2 inches allows you to get two cuts per 12x12 paper sheet. The gift card fits in but needs to go in at an angle instead of flat. The score lines on the pillow boxes are tough to find because of the curves. They are especially hard to find with this paper. So, make sure you have your glasses on and you have a little patience.

The sentiment on top is from the Casual Expressions set (D1525). This set coordinates with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge, but for this stamp, any oval will work. I used cranberry ink to stamp it. The other decorations are the pin clips (Z1612), dark chocolate striped grosgrain (Z1617), and harvest baker's twine (Z1751).

This is a quick gift box to make. Using different paper and sentiments, this pillow box can be used for any occasion.

Happy crafting!
