These are Absolutely beautiful!!!!! You did a wonderful job!!
I am very new to all of this--this may be a silly question, but where do you find such beautiful cardstock to make the boxes??

Thank you so much! This actual paper, I bought at Big Lots for a 48 sheet pack of 12 x 12 paper for $5. It took one 12 x 12 sheet to make one box...with big scraps left over. For the size box I made, you would need an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper. I buy pads of paper at Hobby Lobby, Michael's (has a lot of paper pads), JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts, and many online stores....for projects like this, though, Big Lots is the best place...can't beat the price!
(I love that paper, too, but can't seem to find any more of it anywhere...the brand was Marcella by K (K & Company)...it was called Bon Bon. If anyone knows where I can locate more, please let me know. Thanks!)

Thank you so much for answering my questions--so this was regular paper, not cardstock???
I love Big Lots, I will definitely be on the lookout for that paper.....Thanks also for giving me the dimensions. Have a great evening!! Thanks again.

Yes, regular paper, but seems a little heavier.

Thank you!

This was one of my first projects. Have fun!! I know exactly what you mean about being addicted. When I first got SCAL, I was staying up all night! I have since got things in balance (a little bit)...LOL. I love SCAL...it is awesome! Would love to see your projects when completed!!

Happy New Year from OH!

Hi Suzi, so i tried making a box, but something has gone so wrong...it seemed to be folding up right, but the bottoms don't reach eachother, and can't be connected. I am using the origional cricut. do i need the expression to make these boxes correctly? It's SO frustrating when things don't work out the way you thought they would....
Thanks in advance for any help.
