Gable Boxes

I am so excited because I finally learned how to use my Cameo!  I've had it for a while but just had not figured it out until now.  Here are my first creations from that machine.
 
Gable boxes made from cardstock ..., except for the striped box which was light weight scrapbooking paper (which I would not suggest using, but I loved the colors and design it made).
 
 
Cutting and folding them was so easy with the Cameo.  I think I'll really enjoy using it.
I had the sticker runners in my scrapbooking supplies and wrapped them around the boxes to give them a fun look. Then used scrap ribbon to tie together to give the finishing touches.
All I need to do now is fill them with some fun stuff for a few of my friends.
 
 
I made a few with some glitter cardstock and really loved the look they created for a little bit more of a vintage style without the true Halloween look. 
 

 If I changed the decor around they (and the one orange ribbon) I could put them with a Christmas decor quite easily, and even later with Valentine decor.   But for now, I love those glitter boxes with my Halloween/Fall decor.



Happy Day!
Paper crafting can be so much fun - I wonder what I'll create next?
