If you love making your own boxes, you won’t want to miss out on the brand-new Fancy Boxes Cricut cartridge. It has 10 new boxes that you can cut out, each with five different designs or sayings, giving you a total of 50 fun new boxes to make. As soon as I got a hold of this cartridge, I had to make a couple of creations. I started off with the Pyramid Box. I cut it out at 14″, which made it fit perfectly on a 12″ x 12″ sheet of patterned paper.
The one thing to note with this box that I did not realize until it was too late is that once I glued all the edges, I had no way of putting anything inside. I went back and looked at all the other boxes and even the other pyramids, and they all have holes at the top so you could tie up the edges and put a nice bow on them, but this one doesn’t offer that. I’m not sure why, but it doesn’t, so if you’re like me and love this box, make sure you punch a hole at the top. You probably already thought of that, and I’m not sure why I didn’t think of that before I used tacky tape (which is great for boxes!).
