Wrap It Up!

I have had an amazing week with all of you and now it is time to wrap it up. Please forgive the pun; I just couldn’t refuse since this is one of my all-time favorite cartridges. For today, I made a cute little spider box from the Wrap it Up cartridge. But a few fun announcements before we begin.

Please click here to play the organizational tip contest and the chance to win three Cricut Cartridges! Thanks to all of you, there are over 400 amazing tips that you will want to read! This contest ends Sunday night at midnight so enter soon.

Also my good friend Emma from My Creative Time has donated another stamp set, All Around Christmas for a giveaway! Click here to enter that giveaway! Thanks Emma for making this week extra special!


Now back to our project!



The box is cut at 11 ½ inches. I used my Gypsy to cut layers for the spider and lined the box. The original cut did not include layers but they were easy to do with the Gypsy. You could also use double sided paper instead of lining the box. I plan to make several for Halloween treats!

I love this versatile cartridge and want to share a few other items I have made with Wrap it Up.



Wrap it Up Cartridge has the most amazing tags! Click here to view my original post.




Wrap it up also has the cutest shaped cards and boxes. Did I mention that these were inspired by our very own Joy? You can get your team’s logo off the Internet and customize them for even more fun! Click here to see my original post.

Thanks again for making this a wonderful week! I so want to thank Joy and Melanie for everything and special thanks to all of you. I would love to have you stop over to my blog tomorrow for Fab Five Friday.

Be sure and check out Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs for more creative goodness at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs! Have a great day!
