The box above was cut at 8-1/4", which resulted in a box with a height of about 5". The box comes with the scalloped edge, as well as the decorative section (the blue right under the ribbon above). Check out the page below:
Please forgive me for not having more photos of the box. I took them but they refuse to come off the photo card and I am unable to take more. GRR!
The paper used for this box is also from Close to My Heart and is called Florentine (you can purchase it HERE).
The Cricut Artiste collection comes with the Cricut Artiste cartridge, the three coordinating stamp sets and three 12x12 sheets of matching chipboard elements (see below). It retails for $99 and can be purchased through Melanie, a Close to My Heart rep, HERE. To see the handbook for the cartridge, click HERE.

Very pretty gift box. My go to color is blue.
I love green, shades of pink,yellow and pastels. Orange is my least favorite.
Fabulous box- love the papers you used.
Really cute box. I use a lot of colours...but brown always pops up...I also tend to avoid yellow. Lee-Ann :)
This is adorable! There are so many wonderful things to make with this cart. The opportunities are endless!!

What a beautiful box. This cartridge is so neat with the themes, etc.
Love the colors and that's a great use for that ribbon.
oh I so can't wait to get my cartridge, I have a feeling I will be in hibernation in my craft room once I get Artiste!! Love this box and how the stamps co-ordinate with it!
My fav colors are blues & lavenders. My daughter's fav colors are greens. Lately I have been stepping out of my fav color zone & using pinks and black/white with splashes of color. Thanks for giveaway chance.

LOVE your box! I want this cart but wish I could buy it without the stamps and die cuts. Maybe someday... My go-to colors are neutrals - kraft, cream, black - with a pop of color depending on the occasion and the recipient and the mood I'm going for.
Thanks for all the great ideas. One day I told my granddaughter that red is my favorite color for anything and she hasn't forgotten that so...Red it is!

Cool box, You gave me a great idea for a baby shower gift with this box. Think I will fill it with embellishments for my cousins scrapbook that she will be starting. Since she asked me about scrapbooking just for the baby, I helped her pick out a few things. She will be so thrilled when she opens this box filled with baby embellishments.
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas and keep them coming.
Love this box, there are so many great shapes on this cartridge...I've hardly scratched the surface!
I've been using LOTS of pink this year...since I now have two grand daughters! thx for the chance
Super Cute Box! My Go To colors are White, Black and Blue.
Don't know how I can go on without this ARTISTE cart, and it's all your fault! You show all these great projects, and how can one resist? LOL My favorite colors are pale greens, blues, teals.
Very cute box! Can't wait for my cartridge to arrive...(It's on the Fed Ex truck)! My favorite colors are a vintage-y brown/tan with pops of color like blues or greens...I seem to be leaning that color direction this week, LOL...

I love to use deep aqua or peacock blue follow by a jewel tone purple and rust. This quiet book cartridge would a great addition to my baby gift giving collections. Thanks for the opportunity. Ccn35@aol.com
Beautiful card and box. I am never disappointed and always look forward to your posts. However, this 'please provide you're not a robot' is terrible....have such a hard time reading it!! Sometimes I have to do it three times. Marshie from New York
Wow, that box is awesome! I love this cartridge, and can't wait to get it. I have a little boy, so when I scrapbook it's usually pictures of him, so I tend to use a lot of blues and browns together.
Wow, this is amazing.
Fabulous box. Can't wait to get this cartridge. I usually go for the blues before any other color
Really cute gift box.
My go-to color is green. It seems I just can't finish a card without some shade of green! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great cartridge.
Sandy C Missoula MT
Gorgeous box!! TFS! I tend to use a lot of burgundy colors with white and black accents.
sueot33@yahoo.com
I did check out your link to the Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge. Wow...to think I don't have to figure out the template because the cartridge has it for me!
Gorgeous box!
Even though green is my favourite colour, I tend to use more reds and browns in my projects.
I just love that little box! I love to craft with pinks of all shades, but use a lot of green as well!
what a neat little gift box. The paper is different.
Lovely box.

Favorite color has become green. It used to be hot pink, then purple, then I realized I use green with everything. It adds life to everything we do!
That box is awesome! I tend to go for brights - orange, yellow and complement with blue/green.
What a sweet box! I am loving seeing all the ideas here! Wonderful!
I really love blues. Being the mom of 2 boys, it's usually my go to color!
Great box. I seem to stick with the colors green, blue and yellow, they are my favorite colors but I think I need to spread my wings and start using more colors.
I love earth tones. Love when fall arrives as fall colors and themes are my favorite!
Cute box! Pink is my go-to color. Usually a bright, rosy pink. I find myself using that over and over!

Super cute box! TFS
I used purple, purple and more purple. I have all my embellishments sorted by color and in 3" ring binders. I have 3 purple ones, LOL!
Happy Scrapping!
The box is awesome. Everydday I am closer to having to order this.
I love all your ideas. I use red & green alot too,especially around christmas time. Purple for summer though.
I find myself drawn to purples and blues a lot. Also really like fushia shades. Really nice box.
I use pinks alot. Love your box.
My favorite color that I use over and over would have to be BROWN. I love to use all shades of BROWN the most, followed by PINK.
But BROWN is really my "go to" color almost always even though most of the projects I make will have both pink and brown colors.
I have been researching The Cricut Artiste collection and really like that they combine the two together and the box and ribbon are Awesome, thanks for the post.
My favorite color is yellow - all shades from bright yellow to soft buttery yellow. My second favorite color would be green. Love the box you made!
This cartridge is so great for all of these fabulous "go to" shapes! My fav' colors are the turquoise, and or pink colors! More like beachy, I guess. I am from Florida like you, so maybe it rubs off!! LOL!
I lean toward using ask shades of blue & tan. There are so many colors of blue they I can easily keep myself entertained for hours!
cute box, the more I see of this cartridge the more I want it, TFS.
later tater,
laney
Love the box...can't wait to get the cartridge. My go to colors are red, yellow and black.
I just love that box and the paper you used! I definitely need that cartridge.
What a great idea to have coordinating stamp sets.
Wow your box is beautiful. I love it. I wouldn't want to give it to anyone.
I love the box it is perfect for gifts, and christmas is around the corner. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas. Keep Rockin'
Fabulous box and decorated oh so beautifully! -- My first go to color is green -- all shades of it. Love it. I've been using a lot of orange and brown lately too.
That is a great box! Love it! I love and use all colors, but it seems like lately because of it being summer, I have been using lime green, hot pink, orange and turquoise together.
Love the box and especially the multi layering of the sentiment! I have to have that cartridgE!! My got to color is blue. It's my favorite color and my kids eyes are blue, so it works with a lot of the scrapbook pages I do of them.
Great box! My go to color is green.
Absolutely adorable! I love the cart, too! Blue is good...
I love purple and try to put it whenever I can. I would say green is my second favorite color to use.
This is gorgeous. I love the ribbon and papers. TFS.
red. love the card
What a beautiful box! TFS!
I don't have any color preferences in my crafting. I tend to use whatever catches my eye that day.
Love what you are showing with this cartridge and would love to have it! I really find myself using burgundy over and over!
Great box. I scrapbook alot of my Granddaughter, so I use pink in most of them.
I love using blues and teals, unless I am making something for my little girls....then they insist on purples and pinks! :)
michelle_eiz@hotmail.com
Just a gorgeous box...love the blue accented decoration on the top. Keep showing us your creations!!
blues and greens are my go to colors.
That box is gorgeous!!! Your projects are always such an inspiration Melanie... Yellow is NOT a colour I use but you make it look so beautiful. Thank you
Pink is my go to colour, along with brown. I also love navy blue and colonial white together
Hopefully sometime soon I'll be able to afford the $99. This cartridge looks very versatile!
love lime green!
Nice box! This cartridge is definitely on my "to buy" list! My go to colors are purple and teal :) Thanks for another chance to win!
I like to use red and white a lot..so I guess those are my favorites. I do mostly choose primary background colors and go from there when creating a page or a card.
I never thought I had a 'go to' color until I started looking through my cards and apparently, green is also my 'go to color'!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Blessings,
Melitta
I guess by looking at my scrap box I use alot of pink. But it depends on what I am making. Thanks for the chance to win.

Love the new Artiste cartridge.
Would love to win any Cricut cartridge, thanks for the chance! Love your Blog!
Gorgeous box! You just know that the Artiste cartridge will be great because the Art Philosophy one is also fantastic. I use it ALL the time! As for colors, I seem to always be drawn to corals and teals. I do like a nice strong jewel tone now and again,though, too.
Green is my favorite as well, I also use a lot of blues.
Pretty pretty box!!

I have to say red is my favorite color and can be used for any occasion. Cute box, love all your ideas.

I love that box and I love that cart. I saw all the images on it yesterday and I know i have to have one. I know i can't get it now but it will be soon. Thanks for sharing your projects!
I use a lot of earth tone colors. Love the box. I think the 3 colors you used go really well together. Love the ribbon.
My favorite color is blue so I tend to use it more but there's not one I use in particular most of the time. I usually match the color to my pictures. Thanks for another great idea!
Beautiful box! I use black and white colors often...I like the contrast. Thanks for the chance to win!

I seem to use browns and greens the most, Kraft paper is my fav. This cart. is amazing I have 4 grands and would love to make them each a quiet book using this cartridge
Strangely enough, I don't really have any color that I use frequently. I do enjoy kraft cardstock, however. I've enjoyed seeing all the projects this week made with the new Artiste cartridge.
My favorite color is green, but I usually craft with red black and white, just really love that combo!
Beautiful box...I can see why you love this cartridge so much!!

Red seems to get on my pages a lot. And the next colors would be greens and blues. Thanks for all the ideas you post!
I love this Quiet Book cart. It would be so good to make a set of books for my cute 5 month old granddaughter who just loves books already.
My go to colour depends on the day and my mood! I use a lot of red and black but also creams because I can add more colour to that as well.
Very cute box, love the cartridge.

This would be great. I have 2 grandsons that I would love to use this to make a book for them.
Cute images.
Terry with 2 grandsons.
For a long while I used pink and green together or shades of blue. My traditional approach has now led me to a color and a neutral. I have no favorite color at the present. I even love just a neutral scheme.
This might sound weird, but my go to color is pink. Probably because I am constantly making things for my daughter and that is her favorite color. Followed by black. Everything pops with black as a shadow. But pink and black were my wedding colors.
Love the box and that stamp is lovely too! Very special person is going to get that gift. I've been eying that Quiet Book Cartridge too! I have a new grandson and the ideas look endless. Thank for this wonderful opportunity to try to win it!!
Hola, este cartridge, es un proyecto muy practico para las fiestas, mis colores preferidos son el turquesa y cafe, gracias porestar aqui todos los dias.

Cute idea, you could put some baked goods or candy or a candle. My go to color is pink then green and I really like the combination.
What an awesome box....Love all your projects...can't wait to see your next creation.
Love that cupid cut. My fave colors are black & white followed by brown and tan.
I use a lot of kraft paper background with neon colored die cuts (yellow, green, pink, orange, blue). My cards are very simple and bright.

Absolutely gorgeous box, love the patterned paper and that ribbon. I've been using kraft cardstock alot, so that's my go to color, followed by blue (I make mostly masculine cards). Thanks for the chance to win, as always, for the inspiration!
Looks like a fun cartridge. A little too rich for my blood.
Great project. I lean toward earth tone colors the most. Thanks
