Today's project is made using the Create a Critter 2 cartridge and the Artiste cartridge. I just love making these little 3D boxes for gift cards or other little things. I have been so busy making Christmas and Halloween things that I almost forgot to make fall things. That would be a travesty as I love fall and enjoy using the colors that represent fall. This fall box has leaves that interlink as a closure, but also looks like a snowflake. It would be great for Christmas or anything winter!
I also used the Close To My Heart stamp of the month on the tag. That just shows you how versatile that Christmas stamp set is!
Before I forget, make sure you heck out my blog this week. I am doing a big giveaway because of my blog re-grand opening and I am celebrating my 1 million+ hits! Click here ==> Courtney Lane Designs

What a Fabulous design! Your projects are all so inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Love the box. I do 3D projects for party favors.

I don't make any 3D projects because I'm not really great at it... but I have seen where people make the 3D pinecones and I want to try those out really bad. That little acorn is SO adorable.
These would make wonderful placecard holders on our Thanksgiving table.
Yes I've already made a few of those adorable purses for gift card holders, and of course I had to try out some of those other great 3D items on the Artiste cart. They are so quick and easy to make. The tag is terrific and the box is waaaay over the top! Thanks for sharing.
Fantabulous box you are ever so clever and love how you pointed out that the leaves could also be snowflakes love too how you used multiple cartridges.
super cute project

Very nice projects. I just got the Create a Critter 2 cartridge but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Nice projects! Beautiful little box and cute acorn!

Lovely fall projects. If I have an appropriate idea I like to make 3D projects.
I made some plaster ornaments (20 of them) to give for Christmas to my Red Hat sisters, and they needed boxes so that is the first ever 3 D thing I ever made, and now I'm hooked!
I really think the 3D projects are adorable, but there just isn't enough time to create everything... I love the ideas on here!
Love your project! No, I don't make 3d projects, I'm too chicken!!

Great little treat box.No, I have not tried 3D projects. Not yet, but I'm leanning way over the edge of that cliff. :)
Wonderful 3D project.

Super cute box. I like giving my gifts in 3D boxes. It adds so much to the gift.

Very cute project,
sometimes I make boxes or tags to add to my gifts, depends on how much time I have.
I like to do pop up cards and other little things but need to do more 3D projects like this one, which I really do like. This is such a good way to do little gifts for the holidays so thanks for the idea!
I always try to add dimension to my cards but I havent actually made any 3D projects. With caring for my mom, my crafting time has been very limited. I love browsing through the blogs though and seeing all the beautiful creations from others!

I just love your designs. You are such an inspiration. Always look forward to see what's next.
I have not made many 3D items - but I want to. So many things to make, so little time...
I just love little boxes. Great job.
Very cute little box/holder. Thanks for the gypsy file. You make it so convenient.
Great project! I've never made a. 3D item for gift giving~but this is too cute not to try!
I love your fall box and that tag is just great. I do make 3D boxes, but I put small treats or small gifts in them. Thanks for sharing and thanks for a great giveaway.
I'm inspired to try some 3D projects, Thanks!!
This is so cute! Thanks for the inspiration!

Lovely little box!
Yes, I love to use my sweet tooth cart. All the adorable little gift boxes are so much fun to give away!
I have tried a few of the simple 3D boxes but your fall box is over the top. I'm thinking once again I've been inspired by you to try one of the more elegant and intricate box. Thanks for your wonderful ideas.
I'm not much of a 3d person but this is super cute!!

I love doing 3D projects for my Christmas gifts- it just adds a little something to the gift! Thanks for sharing your project!
Love the three D projects, made earrings and boxes for them yesterday......
Love the acorn. I haven't tried 3-D projects yet.
Lovely box! I do like making 3D projects, but as I don't own any carts that do this I just, kick it old school, and score lines myself. That means I don't do it very often!
Cute little box! I don't have Creat A Critter 2 but I'm sure I could find something comparable. TFS!
I don't add extra 3D stuff to my gifts, because I am lazy! lol These are such cute projects.

Very cute. Love the acorn. The box looks hard even though it isn't. Just looks hard to do. TFS
Great project. Have made some 3D projects, too. Thanks
I love that cartridge, I just got done having my daughters baby shower..I made all the decorations with the Artiste cartridge. I made baby blocks filled with treats, a few banners, a hanging carousel, it was so much fun....Thanks, Sherry

I seldom do 3D projects. The box you made is very cute.
I've made a few 3-D cards, explosion boxes, and they're always a huge hit. They're a lot of work, but the response is well worth it! Thanks for the chance!
Ah I love that little pouch, How adorable. I love making bags and boxes with my Cricut. Would love to win the Cartridge :-)
I do cards and some bags but have never tackled the 3D projects yet.
Cute project. I have made my Christmas neighbor gifts packaged in 3D boxes the last couple of years and they are so fun to make and give.
You always have great projects. I like to see what you come up with, even if it might not be something I would make - - because they always give me great ideas. I don't do 3D projects . . . yet. :)
This is so cute! I love doing little 3D projects and I think they make great party favors!
So cute!! I have both those carts on my list to Santa :)

I haven't made any 3-D objects for gift-giving as yet, but love making 3-D embellishments and tags.
Such cute cuts.
Thank you so much for the acorn idea!! I have the Artiste cartridge and I was looking for ideas for Thanksgiving cards...never occurred to me to make the acorn the card!!
Adorable little acorn!! Love the texture of the burlap! Such a simple touch and yet really added dimension! Thanks for the idea and am off to find me some!!
Great projects. I enjoy 3d projects
Love that little box and tag, so cute. I haven't used 3d for gift giving before, however, I just ordered TBBM2 and will probably try to add some 3D!
Great project. Love the Autumn colors. I love making 3D gift, usually for the children. Thanks for your inspiration
Beautiful project. I haven't attempted a 3d project yet.
You are making me want that Artiste cart so badly. I must find out if I can do something similar with my TBBM2 cart so I don't go out and buy this one
Cute little treat box! The closest I have come to making a 3D project is making boxes for card sets. :)
So adorable! Yes, I make 3d projects for that little something extra.

Love your project! You always make the most adorable crafts! Thanks. I like to think about making 3-D items to add some flare to my gifts, but the thinking and doing don't always coincide! lol
No, I haven't done anything as cute as your box! But I have made coordinating envelopes for cards...they always make a handmade card extra special.
I would love to win this cartridge as my daughter is in her final month of pregnancy. Also, your continued creativity is a blessing to all of us. Thank you for sharing.
Very very cute! Love it :) No, I haven't tried to make a 3d project.
Super Cute!Great Giveaway!!

I never used to add 3D embellishments but since Cricut has the Christmas ornaments for free to cut I have been cutting some to hang on to packages this year. I hope everybody likes them as much as I do.
Very cute project! I love making 3D objects. In fact, I just made some little coffin boxes to hold Halloween treats. So fun!
I have made 3d objects. Love your project. Thanks for the chance to win.
Nice project. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, this is fabulous...
How Lovely! These would be great for hostess gifts for Thanksgiving.
Cute box. I love the various boxes on the Artiste cart; just wish I could make them bigger sometimes.

Super cute bag! And I LOVE the scrapbook page made from the stamp set. Such a good mix of colors!
Love the bag, I may have get this cartridge :)
hi, first of all I am a follower of your blog, and yes I do you make 3d projects, I like making bags for my granddaughters especially right now for Halloween, they just love them and the looks on their faces makes me continue to make 3d bags for them. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this cartridge, I have look for it but I have not been able to find it so when yet would be an awesome gift as we have 2 nephews whose wives are pregnant and it would be fun to help decorate for the showers or to help decorate the baby's room! Again thank you so much for the opportunity to win such an awesome prize! Both of you ladies ROCK! Hope you all have a very blessed day, sheryl. :-)
I love fall, thanks for sharing your project! No, I add 3D projects to gifts. I should start though!
I used to not worry about the 3D projects but then I started seeing all your great projects with the art philosophy and artiste carts and fell madly in love!!! LOL!!! Now I'm obsessed with 3D projects especially gift boxes and goodie bags for the kids of course!
I got my Cricut last year on Black Friday, and this past year I feel much more comfortable using it. I definitely want to make some tags this year for the holidays!
I have only done this once.
Great project, love the box and tag
Great project - nice box and tag
Oh what a cute tag and the box is to I like the ribbon on the back of of the acorn. Thanks for sharing the file and thanks for all you do and share, God bless.
Great project! I don't often make 3-d items but hope to do so more in the future. Thanks for the inspiration!
Now this is a great little box. I love the white stiching around the accorn.
