Wrap It Up cartridge - Baby Girl

The next cute box to make was the Baby Girl box on page 23 of the Wrap It Up cartridge.  Here's how the box cut at 9 inches on my Cricut:

After scoring the box, I cut out the two panels within the box feature.  This box is just like the Happy Birthday box in its structure - very easy to assemble with little glue. 

I glued the side tab and one of the bottom tabs to fold the box together.  It looks pretty cute!  These little boxes would be great for a baby shower gift or decoration.  I think the outline needs some extra something, but I can't think of a way to "bling" it up.

I also decided to make the Baby Girl card.  I cut out this card at 5 inches, which is pretty big.  The "Its a Girl" is the "shift Phrase" button on this page and the baby carriage is within the Card feature.  I wish I had tried layering the phrase....I'll try doing that on the next Wrap It Up card.

Thanks for reading!









Wrap It Up cartridge - Cupcake box

I just got the new Wrap It Up cartridge and couldn't wait to dig in and try it out.  I plan on cutting out every box and some of the other images and will share what I've learned on my blog.

I started on page 21 with the Cupcake images.  Here's the handbook page:

I cut out the cupcake box at 8 inches and here's how it looked after cutting (please ignore my dirty mat):

Next, I scored the box.  The image had cut lines along the edges so I knew right where to score it.  Here's the box after scoring:

I cut the cupcakes next to the Box.  These will decorate the outside of the box.  Here's how they cut:



I glued the cupcake pieces onto the box before folding it.  I cut another set of cupcakes out of yellow for contrast:

The great thing about this box is that only one side needs to be glued or taped.  I used my ATG gun to glue one of the tabbed edges on the side of the box:

Now the box was ready to be folded together.  I put the sides of the box together first:

Folded the bottom of the box by inserting the tabbed edge:

and then folded the top panels of the box.  Pretty cute!

I also cut out the phrase "Happy Birthday".  I thought one layer would be a shadow of the other, but both pieces cut out at the same size. I did layer the cupcake on one of the phrases and I'll save them for later use on card:
