CRICUT: Free file Friday

Each Friday on our Facebook group - Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space we share a free file for you to download.

Here's what we've featured over the last two Fridays. 

First is a handy little Easel Card box. The box measures approx 5.5" by 5.5" and has a drawer. 

The easel part of the box is perfect for a calendar.

Next is a Tic Tac holder. The Design Space file includes two sizes for you to choose from. 

This week we have a guest designer. I've already cut and assembled the file.... and I'm confident you are going to love it!!

The file will be exclusive to our Facebook group so make sure you send a request to join!

Easel card box

Welcome back to my poor neglected blog!

Just a quick post to share a Cricut Design Space project that's available for download from my Facebook group - Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space

The project is an Easel card box. You can attach a calendar to the easel or add a photo. Whatever works for you!

You might need some assembly instructions.

Here's a diagram showing the different pieces in the design.

The easel is put together in the usual way. Fold the Easel card base in half, then fold again to create a triangle.

Take the Easel panel and adhere it to the from of the Easel base.

Here's a side view.

Fold drawer enclosure 1 along the score lines and adhere the two tabs. Apply tape to the sides as shown below.

Fold Drawer enclosure 2 and adhere the two tabs.

Drawer enclosure 2 is turned upside down and fits inside Draw enclosure 1 and is slightly smaller for that reason.

Make sure you put the two together so that you have an opening at the front.  Remove the tape from enclosure 1 and adhere the two together.

Fold the drawer layer along the score lines and adhere the tabs.

Slide the drawer into the enclosure. If you have trouble inserting the drawer because of the tabs on the inside of the enclosure, you can cut two strips and adhere them to the inside of the sides of the assembled enclosure.

Take the two handles pieces and adhere them on top of each other. This makes the handle stronger.
I used brads to attach the handle to the drawer.

Place the decorative shape piece on the top of the box and position so that the easel stands correctly.
I used pop dots to give mine some height and to hold the easel better.

Add the rest of the decorative layers and you're done!

Sturdy cardstock would be a good idea for this project. Especially if you're going to be adding anything with weight to the easel.

We'd love for you to post your finished project over on our Facebook page.
