Bride box

I had gotten a cut file from the Cricut message board and this person designed this dress box from cartridges that I already owned and welded the file. The original design is on the cartridge "Tie the Knot"which I do not have. Eventually I will be making boxes such as this for my daughter, soon I hope. I did run the dress through the Cuttlebug with the swirls folder which adds another element to this cut. Added stones to the top and a flower that I had on the waistband with a ribbon. You untie the ribbon and there is enough room to add mints or some other small item. I think it is very clever how she did design it.
Here is the link where I have gotten the file from:

Cricut

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More: Cut at 8.8"m H and 11.89" L with the Gypsy settings. On page 121 in the book, Feature is Window so that the heart shape is cut out. Fit to page on the Cricut Expression gets the cut at 8.5"L so that using the Design Studio or Gypsy, the size can be adjusted a little larger. It was too plain for me so I ended up adding white X O on the top heart that was Stickled and on the sides, the cupid reversed so they were facing the same way. (No picture yet).
I find the hardest thing for me to do is with the limited software and my camera, everything has to be edited to upload to the site to fit. Sometimes access to the computer is limited.
