Make a bunny treat box for Easter with this free SVG file.

with CutCardStock

With Easter right around the corner, why not make this cute bunny box. What a cute way to give a treat. Both young and old will get a kick out of it. You can make them in different sizes and colors. Personalize them and they make a great place setting name tag.

Many of the items I use in posts are provided by the manufacturers to promote their products.

I used Stardream Metallic Card Stock in Crystal for the box and Astrobright in Pulsar Pink for the ears and nose. CutCardStock’s Stardream line is one of my favorite card stocks with a bit of metallic, it has a great look.

I cut the SVG file out on a Cricut Maker. Placing two different pieces of card stock on the mat, I adjusted the file in Design Space. This made it easier to cut once instead of twice.

As a reminder when cutting, set the red lines to score and load your scoring tool before setting the file to cut. The materials are minimal for this project making it so easy to make. It would be fun to get the kids involved.

I cut the whisker with scissors from a scrap of black and chose to draw in the eyes instead of cutting them out.

The video tutorial below shows how to easily put the pieces together.

This view shows the size of the box that can be made from an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of card stock. Just the perfect size for a treat or a group of jelly beans!

Snowflake Box :: Free SVG

Make this festive snowflake box for your holiday gift giving with the free SVG file.

with CutCardStock

Just in time for your holiday gift-giving is this free SVG file to make a Snowflake Box. Or if you need a plain box, just remove the design element and you have a standard square box template. The great thing about this box design is that you can make it and then store it flat until you need it.

I used Habanero cardstock.

I cut the file on a Cricut Maker at a setting of 100#. The cardstock is 80# cover weight but cuts really well at a slightly larger setting.

The SVG file comes with cut and score lines. You will need to set the lines to score before cutting. The file comes with a square shape to insert into the top of the box. However, I just freehand cut mine to save time. I suggest using wet glue to insert the top piece as well as the seal on the side of the box. It tends to hold better than other options.

Video Tutorial:

Here you can see the box together and open ready for the gift to be placed inside. You really don’t need anything additional. The box will hold itself close and since there is a decoration on the box, no ribbon is needed either.

Above is a close-up of the snowflake decoration on the top of the box. I think adding some decorative gems to the circles could make this extra special. You might also consider using acetate or vellum instead of cardstock for the insert.

Making a Pen Gift Box

With a Free SVG

My daughter graduated from High School this year. Here graduating class was small. On the day of graduation she wanted to give each girl a graduation gift of a nice pen. The pens didn’t have a gift box, so Cricut to the rescue. We made gift boxes.

Materials:

cardstock
Cricut Maker
tape runner
pen
dowel
tweezers
free SVG file

grab this free SVG file [Pen Box]

After cutting the card stock, fold all the flaps in to the same side.

Tape or glue along the shortest fold.

Tucking the taped flap inside, press the other edge to the fold.

After taping the flap and folding it into the box, use a dowel stick to push the tape in place for a better hold.

Place the pen into the box, then tape the other end flap.

Gift Card Box with Makers Movement

Making a gift box for use with a gift card with the Makers Movement. #sponsored @jointhemakersmovement

I am making a gift card box with a die from the Makers Movement. It is part of the Donut Box set. The donut box die has a coordinating stamp set making them so useful. No longer will you need to buy packaging for a gift card. You can make your own gift box and stylize it for the occasion.

The Donut Box die and stamps work together so well and can be used in a variety of different ways. Aren’t those donut stamps cute? They have coordinating dies to cut them out!

I planned on using the Special Delivery stamp as a surprise under the gift card inside the box but I totally forgot about it until after I was finished with the gift card box! – Oh well, next time.

CrossOver II from the Makers Movement was used with the Donut Box dies to cut the card stock. Be sure to check out the tip in the video tutorial below, I am not sure the die is meant to be used this way, but it worked for me. (notice the washi tape)

Links below are affiliates, thank you for considering to use them.

Materials:

1/4″ double-sided tape
white card stock
vellum
blue bakers twine
blue satin ribbon
CrossOver II
scissors

I wonder how you would use this die and stamp set? If for a gift card as I did, what card you would include? Let me know in the comments below.
