Cup Cake Box

Still working on box themes, just in another format! I was going to post this for Sunday, but decided against it and just post it for today!

This was inspired by Chiaki Haverstick who demo'd these at our upline meeting.

The concept of this isn't new, but she put a new twist on this box! I have a cupcake class coming up next weekend, so I thought I would make one of these for my hostess for her..and then demo this since to have everyone make it would be too time consuming.

What you need is:

(1 1/2) pc of cardstock 8 1/2 x 11- cut into quarters 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
(1) piece of acetate - cut 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" (you can cut a larger piece if you need the box to be higher to accomodate a bigger (taller) cupcake)
(4) pieces of decorative paper cut 2" x 3"
22" ribbon
Sticky Tape
Scotch tape - CLEAR
scrap pieces for flowers
Big Shot
Scallop Envelope die
Daisy sizzlet
Swirl Scribble sizzlet


Cut your scallop envelopes. You will need 4 pieces. BE SURE TO USE CREASE rubber mat to cut, otherwise your pieces will perforate through the fold areas.
Assemble the box by putting sticky tape on the side flaps and be sure to use it for the base of the box. I also added a small piece of cardstock (cut 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" to cover the bottom of the box)

Cut 1 piece of your cardstock to 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" (this is the 1/2 piece of cardstock)
Score at 3 7/8" all the way around the cardstock
Using your Circle scissors, center the circle in the piece and cut a circle that will match with your cupcake, approx 2 1/4" - 2 1/2". The hole helps stabilize the cupcake so it won't bump the sides.

Acetate cover
Score at 4" all 4 sides. Cut in at corners to make flap and then tape with CLEAR Scotch tape. IF YOU Need a taller box, be sure to cut your piece larger and then adjust the sides. The center of the top should be approx 3 1/8" square and then make the acetate go inside the box instead of outside like I have it shown here.





DECORATE your box as shown or as you LIKE IT!

Be sure to use sticky tape to tape the flaps of the envelops over the sides. I did it so that the cut side showed over the decorative papers

Isn't this as cute as a cupcake?
