Spongebob Valentine's Day Boxes

I love my Cricut. Love it! I recently purchased the Spongebob Cart because I have two Spongebob loving boys and I thought they would have some fun with it. Who knew I would have so much fun making Valentine's Day boxes with it!


First up is Connor's Box. He wanted Spongebob's Pineapple house. I plugged in my Gypsy with the Spongebob cart loaded in and started cutting out my pieces! Easy Peasy! 
I think it turned out so cute! I painted a shoe box black and then added my cut pieces to it. 
The heart was cut from the Gypsy Wanderings cart already loaded onto the Gypsy. I then just stamped the Happy Valentine's Day to make Spongebob a
little sign. 
The door opens and that is where the kids can drop their valentines for Connor into it. 
Spencer chose the Krusty Krab for his box. This wasn't quite as easy. There are lots and lots of pieces to the Krusty Krab. It was like putting a puzzle together after I cut everything out. 
And I made a Valentine sign for Mr. Krabs too. The hole is on top of the box for the kids to drop their Valentines in. I was afraid the doors to the Krusty Krab would be a little too small to accomodate the Valentine treats Spencer will be getting. 

I have been busy all week making these boxes and a few cards. I will post the cards later this week or weekend. I have to wait for the recipients to receive them first! 

Thanks again for visiting me! And Happy Valentine's Day!
