How about some money saving cut files? :)
My monkeys are all over these coin banks!
These come as two different cut files, the Large Tall Coin Bank and the Short Coin Bank. Both of these files have pieces for the base box and the lid with a coin slot and both are compatible with the Portrait and Cameo.
The tutorial for both is the same other than the Short Coin Bank does not require assembly for the box or lid band as they are able to cut as one piece.
1. Cut the pieces in your desired papers.
2. Starting with the large box pieces, place adhesive on the tab piece as shown.
3. Adhere the two pieces together then flip the paper over and place adhesive on the bottom tab.
4. Fold the tab over as shown.
5. Flip you paper back over and place adhesive on the other tab.
6. Adhere the sides together to form the cylinder shape. The tabs will sit next to each other, not overlap.
7. Grab your solid round piece and place adhesive around the edges.
8. Stand your cylinder up with the tabs at the bottom and push the circle (with adhesive facing down) in the tube.
9. Push it all the way to the bottom and adhere the tabs. Turn the cylinder over and your bottom should look like this.
10. Place adhesive on the second solid circle and adhere on top to hide the tabs.
11. I chance my lid color from what I started with, so here are the new pieces! (sorry!)
12. Place adhesive on the tab piece as shown.
13. Turn the band over and place adhesive on the long tab shown. Press the tab down toward the center and adhere.
14. Place adhesive on the tab and join the two together making sure not to overlap the tabs.
15. Place adhesive around the edges of one of your slotted circles.
16. Press your circle into the band.
17. Flip the lid piece over and it should look like this.
18. Adhere the second slotted circle over to cover the tabs.
19-20. Place the lid on and your box will look like this now!
Wouldn't these be so much fun to stuff gifts in or to give to the kids to save their chore money!?
You can even remove the slots from the lids and use them as boxes!
Just click on the image below to get yours!
I started with the white die-cut box. It already comes scored, so you just need to bend and apply some adhesive on the tabs and then you are ready to decorate!
I cut four denim 1-1/2" squares and four chevron print 1-1/4" squares from the Claire Paper Packet.
I adhered the chevron print squares to the center of the denim squares
Then placed those on the white die-cut box, centering.
To finish the gift, I made a coordinating card!

I am using the NEW Packaged Pretty stamp set and I know that you are going to love this stamp set just as much as I do! There are just so many ways to use these stamps...sooo many!
For my project I created a gift box using a Silhouette cut from Samantha Walker that will hold FOUR tubes full of quarters with $15 in each! The large Packaged Pretty stamp has the perfect sentiment...anyone opening a box with $60 worth of quarters is sure to do a happy dance, right?! :)
Supplies:
Stamps: Packaged Pretty (Sweet Stamp Shop)
Die Cut: Round Flap Box by Samantha Walker (Silhouette America)
and Nesting Circles (Spellbinders)
Cardstock: Kraft (The Paper Studio)
Patterned Paper: A to Z Collection by Samantha Walker (Creative Imaginations)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Momento) and Barn Door Distress Ink bu Tim Holtz (Ranger)
Stickers: We've Got Your Border #57002, Birthday (SRM Stickers)
Adhesive: Runner, 1/4" Square Zap Dots, and 450 Quick Dry (Helmar)
Ribbon: May Arts
Punch: Double Embossed Dotted Lace Edger (EK Success)
Other: Tubes (SRM Stickers)
To add support to the box (so it could hold the weight of the quarters), I glued a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" chipboard piece to the bottom of the box using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and for the wrap, I trimmed a piece of patterned paper to 3-1/2" x 12 and scored at 2-5/8, 5-3/8, 8-1/8, and 11" then punched the edges with a scallop punch.I stamped the sentiment on a circle I cut using the Circle Spellbinders dies and used Zapdots to provide dimension. I wrapped ribbon around the box, using Helmar Adhesive Runner to secure it to the wrap.For the tag I stamped the "To" tag on patterned paper and then adhered it to a piece of the kraft cardstock using Zapdots then trimmed to form a tag.

I have been playing with SRM Easter Stickers!
I used a variety of sentiments, words, and decorative stickers from the Easter sticker collections to create a 'subway-like' print for the front of my card. For the tube, I created a paper wrap and topped it with yellow ribbon and then used twine to tie on the "Easter Wishes" sentiment.
