Cute Treat Boxes

I recently got my new Cricut Artiste cartridge and just couldn't wait to start trying out some of the fabulous 3-D items.  Here's what I made. There are many other 3-D boxes available on this great cartridge. What a crafty way to share holiday desserts.
Cricut Artiste collection - Scrapmom's Craft Room
The pie box (and coordinating lid) is on page 70 of the instruction booklet.  The booklet even gives you suggested cutting sizes.  This box was cut at 6 inches using Wonderland paper.

The decorations on the lid include a stamp from the October Stamp of the Month "Very Merry Christmas" which is stamped on a coordinating Cricut Artiste shape found on page 79 in the instruction booklet.  It is layered on a circle which was punched using the 2 inch scallop punch.  The snowflake accent was also cut from Cricut Artiste (page 79).  The background and overlay were cut from the same paper and I just flipped one over to the reverse side for contrast.  (The small brown snowflake is the left-over center from the mitten on page 79.  I used the mitten for something else, but kept the 'scrap' to use here.)  The snowflake is accented with some mini gems.
