Gamer Gift Box and Card



The Young One celebrated her birthday this week.She's a Gamer so when I saw the die shaped box on the Canvas Workspace I knew that would be perfect for her with the dots in her favorite color, red.

I thought a card shaped like a gamer controller would be perfect, and I found a free cut file. It wasn't in the correct file format for the Scan n Cut. What to do?

Fortunately, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, a paid spokesperson for the Brother Scan n Cut machine, had a tutorial on how to convert  images to the correct  file type  the Scan n Cut uses.


The card needed an inside and a sentiment. So I duplicated the shape and cut out the text Happy Level. The 28 were number stickers I had in my stash and fortunately the Young One's favorite color. 

The Young One was almost as pleased with the gift box and card as she was with the gift. A little thing, but it made me happy, too, after going through the effort.

      Fortunately, The Young One is an artist, too, so she gets it.
