Take-Out Box Video Tutorial using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

Have you cut out the Take-Out Box or seen the picture on the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and wonder how do you assemble it? Well I put together a video tutorial to show how I created this Take-Out Box to help guide you through assembling one yourself.

Here is the tutorial I made for you all to see how I assembled and decorated this take-out box using CTMH Believe Paper. Notice the tag? I used the November Stamp of the Month set Cherish the Day. Isn't it so cool? Be sure to place a $50 order on my site in November so you can get this set for just $5. It really is a set you can use all year long on cards, scrapbook layouts, tags, and so much more! Also during the Month of November when you order $25 in stamp sets you can get this really cute Holiday Wishes stamp set for just $5. So if I were you I would get your wish list together and include $25 for stamps and another $25 for other items you may need so that your total is at least $50 and then you can add both the November Stamp of the Month-Cherish the Day and the Holiday Wishes set for only $10. Score!!! That's a $35.90 value for only $10. Oh and to top it off the Holiday Wishes stamp set coordinates perfectly with the shapes on the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge so you'll be creating adorable projects in no time since you won't have to do any scissor cutting. Gotta love that!

The card pictured was one I made yesterday although the directions are not shown in the video. I used the new CTMH Happy Clusters stamp set to create the tree. I stamped it directly on the white card base and then cut several of small circles using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (1/4" to 1") and stamped each circle with the little circle stamps included in this set. I popped them up with 3D foam dots and added some CTMH Glitz to a few dots as well. For the pennant banner I used the CTMH Party Pennant stamp set. Each little pennant was cut out using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. All I had to do was stamp on the pre-cut pennants, I inked up the edges with CTMH Black Ink and stamped the dotted line. I love how you can reshape our CTMH stamps by just arching the stamp when you attach it to the block. This is what I did to create the curved dotted line for the pennants. I popped up the pennants with 3D foam squares (cut the foam squares in half so they wouldn't show).

Since this is a simple card I wanted to give it a little more pop so I used our AWESOME new Close To My Heart ruler and inked the black line all around the edge using a CTMH Black Marker. Normally my lineS would have been way crooked but with the really helpful grid that is on the new ruler I had no trouble lining it up. This ruler is a MUST HAVE! I then added the Happy Holidays sentiment from the CTMH A Timber stamp set to the bottom corner and that was it! Pretty simple but a fun card to create.
