Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week, Pillow Box Die

Welcome to another Lawn Fawn inspiration day! Today we are featuring the new (and adorable) pillow box die. This die would be perfect used all on it's own BUT Kelly also designed some really fun add ons; such as, the new Peek and bat die, and the give a hoot dies. These dies can turn a simple pillow box die into a cute little bat--perfect for Halloween, and you could also turn an ordinary pillow box treat into a little owl. So cute!

For a closer look at what you can do with these dies you can head over to the Lawn Fawn Blog and check out Kelly's intro video, as well as all of the DT samples. You can even enter for a chance to win a prize!

So Excited About the New Cricut Cartridge

I stumbled upon the new Cricut Cartridge at my local craft shop (or at least I think it’s new—I’ve never seen it in stores before so it’s new to me, haha), and I almost had a heart attack. It’s the ‘Sweet Tooth Boxes’ cartridge; and you can make a variety of treat boxes and tags! If you don’t know by now I love to make cupcakes and use them for my photo shoots—but now I have something cute to give them away in. Right now one of the projects I’m obsessing over the single cupcake box with the heart window on top. I just melt every time I look at it because it is SO cute. Ok enough talking, let me just show you a few pictures of the pieces of the treat box and how it looks assembled.

Isn’t it so cute?! What’s great about this new cartridge is the instructions book—it’s much more detailed than the older Cricut cartridges and it even shows you how to glue the box together. In other cartridges it doesn’t even show you how to put favor boxes together—they just kind of let you figure it out on your own. Another cool feature in the instruction booklet is they even tell you exactly what size to print everything out in so you don’t have to waste paper trying to figure that out too. So, I’m super happy about that.

Not only am I excited about being able to give these to my friends and family after I’ve made a big batch of cupcakes that I won’t each, but I’m also excited to offer these cute boxes in my shop.
