Simply Crafty SVGs - JOY Gift Box

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing another great gift box!

I've used the:

Joy Gift Box SVG File

It was the title of this box that attracted me.

How could I not want to make a JOY gift box?

Sandy has two wonderful samples posted in the shop;

one is Christmas themed and one is Winter themed.

I thought I would give you another creative option.

Here's my version:

As you can see, I've combined Christmas with Winter,

and added a stamped panel rather than the JOY cut panel.

I used pretty shimmer cardstock, added some big red rhinestones,

and finished it off with a big glittery bow.

The lid of this box is such a great shape!

The box base is a wonderful size to fill with some goodies!

When you look at all these great cut files,

think about how you can incorporate your other craft supplies,

like stamps, stencils and such.

It's all so much fun!

Simply Crafty SVGs - Hot Cocoa Bar

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing a really fun 3D gift box!

This is just great for the upcoming season.

I've used:

Hot Cocoa Bar SVG File

The shop sample has been made in a Christmas theme.

To switch things up, I made mine in a Winter theme.

Either way - it's a fabulous file.

Here's mine:

Isn't that cute?

When I was a little girl, I always loved this kind of thing for my Dawn dolls.

Does anyone else remember Dawn dolls?

Never mind a store, all they would need is this Hot Cocoa Bar! lol

I used some fun frosty papers to make my box.

Although it doesn't show in the photo, all the snowflakes have glitter treatment.

To finish it off I added a few snowflakes punched out of glitter paper.

Here you can see the back of the box.

What's this in the photo below?

Do I actually have something in my box?

After sharing so MANY empty boxes, I thought I would switch things up! lol

Here you can see my last package of my favorite After Eight hot chocolate.

It fits perfectly!

Wouldn't that make a fun gift?

It holds quite a few hot chocolate packets.

Or you could fill it with a number of other treats.

You could even switch things up and make it into a coffee bar,

then fill it with some coffee beans!

So many fun ways to use this one!

Simply Crafty SVGs - Apple Gift Box and Card

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing a fun gift box and card set.

I've used:

Apple Gift Box SVG File

I had intended to make this up in Fall themed papers

but discovered that I'm very short on those.

Shocking, I know! lol

So I used a fun school themed pack instead.

Here's the set:

Isn't that a great set?

This is another really fun project to put together!

It opens on the top and offers enough room for lots of goodies!

Why are my boxes always empty? ;o)

Once I had cut out all the apple layers,

for both the box and the card,

I had these fun little shapes left over from the centers.

I layered those ito a pretty little flower and added it to the top of the box.

I had so much fun putting the apple together,

that I decided I wanted to make a card.

It's so easy to do with these great files!

I grouped just the apple cuts together in Design Space.

Then I sized it to 10".

I did a copy/paste on the base apple and flipped it horizontally.

I positioned them side by side and welded them into a card.

I am by no means and expert in anything to do with Design Space,

as I really haven't spent much time playing around with files.

However, this was very quick and easy to do.

I really like this apple cut, and the layered leaf is fabulous too!

I used my Best Glue Ever with the No-Clog Writing Cap to put it all together.

It's just right for all the intricate bits.

The papers I used have special treatments of gloss and glitter,

so it makes a very pretty set!

Simply Crafty SVGs - Crayon Box

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing a fun little Crayon Box.

With the start of school right around the corner here,

it's the pefect time to share this one.

The good news for all of you is that this is a FREE file!

It measures about 2 1/2" x 3 1/2",

and is just the right size to hold a gift card.

Or you could fill it with yummy treats.

Or you could fill it with a gift card and yummy treats! lol

It would be a thoughtful gift for any teacher, or student,

that may be nervous about heading back to school.

Here's my box:

As you can see, I opted to add a little shaker element.

I found this fun pencil paper in my stash.

It's not crayons but I think it works very well.

It's a very easy project that goes together very quickly,

and it's so much fun to make!

I added a piece of acetate,

and then used a piece of white cardstock behind.

I think the white shows off the shaker bits beautifully!

Simply Crafty SVGs - Christmas in July

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing two fun vintage style Christmas cards
for Christmas in July.

I've used:

A2 Frame Card Set 2

Here is the first one:

This file comes with so many fun layers and frames.

I just made several different cuts from the same paper collection.

Then I cut more, along with the card bases, from kraft cardstock.

Then it was just a matter of mixing and matching the layers to make my card.

Here's my second card:

I kept both of them clean and completely flat...for mailing purposes.

There are lots of ways, and places, that these could be embellished;

with ribbons, bling, sequins, and more!

Then I did some fun stamping
on the panel that fits behind the open frame.

Simply Crafty SVGs - Decagon Gift Box

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing a really pretty little box!
I confess to REALLY liking this one...very much!

I've used the cut file called:

Decagon Gift Box

Here's my version:

Isn't that pretty?

It's so much fun to put together too!

The cut file includes several options,

including panels and another top layer.

Since I used these pretty gold foil papers I didn't need the panels.

I think it needs to be filled with something very special!

The bow on the top is really fantastic...and so much easier than it looks!

I'll be using this one again and again!

I just folded it and glued it together,

and then I added a beautiful button from my stash.

It was a shank button in the perfect colors,

so I just snipped off the shank before gluing it to the center.

Other Materials Used:

Cricut Explore Air Machine;

Craft Smith Gold Gift Paper Pad;

Simply Crafty SVGs - Flower Center Panel Card

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm combining pieces from two cut files
to make one fun card.
I will call it my Flower Center Panel Card.

I've used:

Cupcake Center Panel Card,
and
Pitcher of Flowers Card.

Here's my card:

Isn't that fun?

It's such a fun card base

with so many creative possibilities!

I cut multiple layers and sizes of the flowers,

as well as the lovely greenery,

from the Pitcher of Flowers Card file.

These days there are so many reasons

to make and share a nice Thank You card!

Head on over to the shop and check out both of these fun files!
See what you're inspired to make!

Simply Crafty SVGs - Round Candy Box

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing:

Round Candy Box

It's a fabulous file,
and makes such a pretty little box!
I used the leftover bits to create a sweet little matching tag!

Here's my project:

The file includes a cut for an acetate insert in the top.

I wanted to take it up a notch,

so I turned the top into a little shaker.

All I did was cut two pieces of acetate, and a ring of chipboard.

Foam would be a good option for the ring but I didn't have any.

I adhered one piece of acetate to the ring.

I then sprinkled some gold, pink and turquoise

glitter, beads, and sequins.

Then I adhered the second piece of acetate over top.

The rest of the construction is the same.

Here's the top view of the lid.

I kept the fillers light and pretty.

It's a really great design,

and would make a beautiful Mother's Day gift box.

Other Materials Used:

American Crafts Cardstock;

Craft Smith Tea Party Paper;

Acetate;

Scrap of Chipboard;

Unknown beads, glitter, and sequins.
