Wednesday, how did you get here already?! I’m rushing around getting ready for our road trip to Toronto, but wanted to pop in quickly and share these DIY Pastel Monogrammed Gift Boxes with you.

Silhouette cutting machine
Box and Flower Tags design. The top of the box is the one with the smaller tabs

The How

In Silhouette Studio, open your box design and place the top of the box in the print/cut area
Use the rectangle tool to draw a square the same size as the top of your box
Change the color to black and thicken the lines (set to No Cut)
Create a smaller square at the center of the box top, change the color to black and thicken the lines (set to No Cut)
Fill your smaller square with a pastel color
Using your favorite font, type your letter in the smaller square
Show registration marks and send to cut using cardstock settings
Group everything together and remove the top of the box design and place the bottom of the box design on the page
Remove the registration marks
Send to cut using cardstock settings
Assemble your box by folding at the dashed lines and glueing the tabs
