I hope you enjoyed watching today’s Live tutorial. I absolutely LOVED the project and I have someone in mind to give it to.
What to do with those leftover cupcakes? Hmmm, not sure what I will do with them. Oh c’mon, I’m going to scarf them down before the day is out! lol
See you Saturday for a new Scrap that Idea video – cards featuring scraps and Saturday’s card is a sweet trio of butterflies. I hope to see you then!

Love you videos — trying to branch out and try some on my own — can you share what you use? I tried facebook and that worked but it won’t load into facebook from the phones — This is all new to me and I want to offer some this virtually.
I started using YouTube Live because it’s more reliable than Facebook.
I love this project! Have you ever made a similar box for one cupcake or muffin? I’d like to have muffins at my upcoming open house, and this container would be an excellent way to serve them to keep everything sanitary.
Donna, I have a video where I show you how to customize your boxes. I hope it helps you! https://youtu.be/sYr35FVkqBU
Adorable!! And now I’m hungry for cupcakes!
Connie I love the box it is so sweet. I would like to make 12 boxes each holding 1 mini cupcake. I am thinking that the measurements and scoring could remain the same except for the length of the bottom and the top. Maybe 6 inches for the bottom piece of paper with a 2 inch score. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Katherine, I have a video where I show you how to customize your boxes. I hope it helps you! https://youtu.be/sYr35FVkqBU
This is a fantastic project!
Any chance you have dimensions to make an insert For the base to hold the mini cupcakes in place???
Stay safe and healthy!
I don’t, I’m sorry.
