I love making homemade gifts for Mother’s Day. This cute box is perfect for a variety of little treats for mom. You could fill it with some cookies, chocolate or a cupcake like I did.

I used my Cricut Maker to make this box, but you can also use your Cricut Explore machine. I have both, but prefer using my scoring wheel to make score lines on my projects.

This post is part of a round up of Mother’s Day gifts you can make with your Cricut machine. Thank you to the hosts! Make sure to click the picture below to visit their websites.

Don’t have a Cricut? Well, guess what? You could win a pair of Cricut Explore Air 2s (one for you and one for your mom!)

  1. Love this box! However when I click to download the file it just takes me to a blank design space in Cricut. Can you help me access this particular file? Thanks so much in advance.

  2. Jenny, I am unable to view project on my computer. When I click on open, it takes me to my projects page.
    Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    1. Hi Kathy, I went and double checked the link and it worked of me. A lot of designs I shared before they launched the offline Design Space seem not to be showing up for people. I’m not sure why 🙁 Maybe Cricut support could help?

      1. Jenny,
        Thank you for your quick response. I finally had to delete Cricut program and re-install. I have a feeling this will be the answer to a lot of issues until they have a chance to fix all the bugs.
        Thank you for the wonderful file!
