Crazy for Cricut and Creative Memories Blog Hop

Welcome to the Crazy for Cricut & Creative Memories Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Clare's blog:  http://www.cricutcraftyclare.blogspot.com/.  

Today I have a project created with the Creative Memories Divine Wedding cartridge and the Close to my Heart's Artiste cartridge to create the box.  I created this box to hold candies at my wedding next weekend.  I have used The Paper Company golden shimmer for half the boxes and Recollections ivory shimmer for the other half.  I used the opposite paper for the "happily" layer and TPC blackberry shimmer for all the "ever after"s and the hearts.  I spent a while experimenting with the best way to assemble the boxes.  First I used a bone folder to score the boxes.  I used glue to glue the blackberry layer to the happily layer.  I used a glue runner and a glue pen to adhere the happily layer to the box.  I then assembled the box and used a couple of glue dots on the inside flap to hold the side of the box in place.  The boxes will be holding candy!  Continuing with the "happily ever after" theme, I acquired some ribbon at Michael's which says "and they lived happily ever after".  It was enough for the bubble bottles but not quite enough for the personalized kisses bags.  I am still experimenting with another ribbon to finish those.  

You can really see the shimmer in this picture:

Here are those bubble bottles:

 This is the side of the box during assembly:

The glue dot is on the other side of the tab also keeping the tab secure.

I also used the CM Divine Wedding cart for my wedding invitation.  This project has it's own post:
