How do you cut?

Do you cut using an electronic cutting machine?
              Or do you cut paper by hand?  Either way works when you use papers from Robin's Nest!

I used the Sizzix eclips to cut out an svg file to create this Apple Treat Box (from The Cutting Cafe) for a friend who has been in  and out of the hospital.  The Glitter Letters Paper give the plaid a funky edge.

This box is a nice size for a couple of snacks!

The base of this treat box was made using Glitter Black Paws paper. 

A little sparkle really make the black interesting. 

Dew drops add a little detail in hidden places.

Winter Retreat dew drops along with glitter add a bit of pizzaz to the project!

The sentiment is from Apple Box Set sentiments from The Cutting Cafe.

But...if you don't have a fancy cutting machine, you can have fun with basic folds and scissors.

This box card has a belly band to keep the box closed.

(Okay, admittedly, I used another cutting file for that apple. But you could use a nestie or stamp or hand cut shape as well!) Girl and sentiment from Starving Artistamps.

Stop the presses:  After I created this project, I realized that I should have used

these Robin's Nest Apple die cuts and clippies. In your head,

pretend that you see them on this project! A rule of thumb...Know your stuff!  

Open and unbanded view.

I used Fleur Olive Green Paper for the outside of this box.  

The inside stripes are the reverse side of the Fleur paper!

Ooh lala!

Red Flat plaid for this apple!

I used Dew Dew Glue to adhere the Winter Retreat Dew Drops.

What would you tuck into this pocket?

Tags, gum, a bracelet, moola?

The base is formed using a scorpal and scissors!

The Glitter Blacks Paws paper was used for the base.

Dreamy details.

I love the sparkle on the stem!

Either way....cutting machine or manual scissors...

A few cuts on Robin's Nest papers and you'll have a sweet gift set 

to share with your friends!
