Mini Unicorn Pegasus Party Favor Gift Box - SVG Cut Files Pattern and Tutorial

Mini Unicorn / Pegasus Party Favor Gift Box - SVG Cut Files Pattern and Tutorial

You can make a special girl’s unicorn dreams come true – or pegasus, or winged unicorn!

After cutting these adorable gift boxes with an SVG cutting machine, they can be party decorations, or even a cake topper.

You can stuff these party favors with sweets or treats, then give them to your guests to thank them for coming to your party, and then they keep them as a souvenir of your special event.

Enlarge my SVG cutting files by 110%, cut it out of 12x12 card stock, and you can fit a gift card in the body. If you have 11x17 inch or tabloid size card stock, enlarge it by 135%, and you can turn a mini unicorn or pegasus party favor box into a center piece, and stuff even more goodies inside.

Elastic Band & Hair Tie Organizer

Organize Your Elastic Bands or Hair Ties

Since self isolating at home, I've had more time to look around my space. I used to store my elastic bands in a heap and it took too long to sort out the exact one I wanted. Now I simply glance at my stash, pick out the one I want, and move on with my next task. I used the same concept to organize my hair ties and now both areas are simply tidy! It truly gives me joy to look at these tame bands when it used to be a mess.

My free download includes:

• SVG file (using a Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine)

Grad Cap Pop Up Card - Free SVG and PDF Template

A nephew of mine is graduating this year, and like so many others, he won't be able to have a typical grad ceremony due to pandemic isolation restrictions. 

So I designed this grad cap card that pops up and sits at a jaunty angle. It has a pocket to hold money, a gift card, or a special photo.

Paper Mushroom Party Favor Gift Box - SVG File for cutting with Cricut Explore or Silhouette Machine

Paper Mushroom Party Favor Gift Box - SVG File

A friend of mine loves mushrooms and every time we go for a hike, we’re on the lookout for them along the trails. 

So I made this box for her and put a gift card inside, along with some chocolates and a lip balm for super sunny days. Afterwards, she can use it to store paper clips and keep it to decorate her office desk.

It was so fun to personalize the stem with a gnome, a door, a window and grass. The gnome is layered, so his beard and moustache really look dimensional!

Of course, a single mushroom can get lonely, so I gave it a little friend. It's not big enough to put a gift card inside, but it's so sweet to see a mini-me on a desk, and it can hold items like paper clips. It's reduced 75% of the larger mushroom, but of course, when you have a cutter, you can ask it to make anything as small as you like.

What's a gift without a heartfelt message? When they peek under the roof, they'll see your writing there.

It's a good size and fits in your hand quite comfortably.

It took me quite a few tries to make this fun fungi, and my room was a forest of shrooms when I finally got the tabs just right. For me, it's a fevered quest that gets more frenzied the closer I get to knowing I'm almost there, but not quite.

You can watch the trailer here, and the SVG file is available in my shop.

Animal Place Cards (Lion, Giraffe, Elephant, Duck, Bear) in SVG File Format

I now have matching place cards to go with my set of party favor gift boxes I made years ago!

The animal gift boxes were the first die cutting pattern I created in 2011. Has it been that long since I've been in love with my cutter?

They're perfect for baby showers or birthday parties because it's so quick to assemble, using a minimal amount of material, yet giving maximum impact.

Here's the back side of the place card. All 5 animals, Elephant, Lion, Giraffe, Duck, and Bear come in a set, available in my Etsy shop.

Cupcake Gift Box - SVG Files Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you everyone, for participating and for your kind words about my work! The winners are announced at the bottom of this post.

My nephew's 6th birthday is coming up and I just managed to finish up these gift boxes for his little guests. He had fun filling them up with treats and is looking forward to giving them out.

I'm surprised how different they can look just by changing up the color of paper I'm using – of course the fruit topper takes the cake.

The base and topper is cut from a single sheet of letter-size (8.5 x 11 inches) paper and can hold not only chocolates, but also a Cherry Chapstick.

I've been working on this pattern since last November. The locking tab now seems so obvious. The frosting was originally straight, similar to the Christmas trees as shown in my Craftsy class. That project is actually what inspired this one - something made me to keep going with this and push it further.

I love how the patterned paper spirals in between the complementary paper color, almost like the shadows that play amongst the swirls of a soft ice cream cone.

Here is the assembly video – please leave a comment so I can keep improving! Filming video is quite new to me and there is so much to learn.

To get this party favor started, I'd like to give away my Cupcake Gift Boxes to 3 winners. You will need to have an electric cutting machine and software that can import SVG files.
