Shape-a-Day: Day 3

On day three of my Cricut shape-a-day, I am delighted to present to you this lovely juniper cameo box. Your Cricut machine will cut the shape for you, ready to fold up with your gift of choice inside. What will you fill it with? A delicious homemade cookie or some candy? A treasured photograph? Maybe jewelry or a gift card? That’s for you to decide!

Shape instructions: Set the size to 10”; press the “font layer” feature key, shift, and then the button in the top left corner of the key pad overlay. Page 21 in the booklet.

  1. I love this sweet gift box. I also have been enjoying the Art Philosophy cartridge. Thank you for giving your CTMH consultants and clients such a great tool.
    Always, Alayne

  2. I just love this idea of a shape-a-day. I will try them all to get used to my new Cricut!! Also, loved last month's daily offering using the Pair-a-Phrase. Great ideas everyone!

  4. I used this shape to put chocolate frog cookies in. I even made trading cards to put in the boxes too. I need to practice making the cookies though, they were too hard.

  5. Can you please say not only the size you cut it at, but the dimensions of the finished folded product? For example, this cut at 10" folds up to how much room inside? 4" square by 1" high? larger? smaller?

  7. I just get worried about sizing because I have the personal cutter, so my sizes are going to be alot smaller on the 3D stuff.
