Hope everyone had a great holiday season! The challenges at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE have started up again and this pillow box is featured as my design team submission for the current theme of "Valentine's Day--Not A Card". If you use electronic cutters, I hope you'll pop over there and join the challenge! Now for the design details on this pillow box:
I have pillow boxes that other SVG designers have created but I wasn't happy with them. The perforations were way too small for easy folding on the curved ends (and it took forever to cut). If you plan on making a bunch of boxes, it would be very time consuming to hand score those curves. So I got to work and created this pillow box that has large dashed folding perforations.
You can get the pillow box SVG file for FREE HERE. (If you don't have an electronic cutter, a pdf of a pillow box is very easy to find with an online search) Because the dashes on my file are larger, be sure to use a nice weight of cardstock for your boxes. I used this great Valentine's kraft paper (sorry, I don't have the name) for my box. I used Scor-Tape to make sure that the box held together once filled with sweets.
To decorate the box, I found some scraps of a paper lace doily. I trimmed it to fit the front and glued it down with Glossy Accents. I cut the cupid from my VALENTINE set out of kraft cardstock then distressed the edges with Brick Red and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I mounted it to a diecut heart with foam tape. The heart also has DI added to the edges and I punched holes at the top to run baker's twine through. The twine wraps around the box, with each end coming up through the holes. I tied a double knotted bow in the center. Pretty sweet, don't you think?
