PIZZA BOX

The pizza box was created using a cut file from my electronic machine's software. You can search your machine or a SVG file service for a similar triange box. Search things like "triangle box" or "pie box" to find a file that will work. 

The fun part about Holidays is that you can take everyday items, like pizza – and give them a twist simply by changing their color to match your holiday. For my first box, I cut the box out of Cardstock Warehouse Pink Lemonade Pop-Tone paper, giving my pizza slice a pink crust. After all, it is Valentine’s Day. I also modified the original file by replacing the pepperoni with some heart-shaped ones.

Before assembling my box together, I embossed the sides of the box using a Heart Shaped Embossing Folder. I really liked how the cardstock stood up to the embossing; it didn’t wrinkle or shrink during the embossing.

Although the file comes with a face, I like using my face stamps to bring my creations to life. Here I used the Peachy Keen Stamps Sweet on You Faces. I first stamped the face on to the “Cheese”(Cardstock Warehouse Banana Split Pop-Tone Collection paper) I then stamped a second face on some Cardstock Warehouse White Sweet Tooth Pop-Tone Collection paper and layered together.

The finishing touches to my Pizza Box were a sentiment stamped on some Cardstock Warehouse White Sweet Tooth Pop-Tone Collection paper, a bow, and twined button. At the last minute, I decided it needed some sparkle, so I quickly brushed the crust and heart pepperoni with a glitter pen.

Inside you can add some paper shreds, small candies, and even a gift card to a Pizzeria.

So, what are you waiting for? Let that special person know they have taken a “Pizza of your Heart”.  We’d love to see! Be sure to show us on Facebook or Instagram.

Thank You for stopping by!
