Yes! You can make boxes in any size using basic dies or outline dies, and the Spellbinders Majestic Guitar Box Side Panel.… Heart-shaped boxes are the prettiest!

Today I made two heart-shaped box samples—perfect for chocolates, cookies, lingerie, or any small gift, product, or even packagin heart- shaped handmade cards.

Watch the Process

These boxes measure 5-1/2 x 4-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ deep, and were made using supplies listed below.

Box Recipe

• Simon Says Stamp Rounded Hearts Wafer Dies – will cut hearts in 10 different sizes. I used the largest die in the set to make the main box, and to cut windows and frames, I used smaller dies.
• Spellbinders Majestic Guitar Box Side Panels Etched Dies – This die cuts perfect symmetrical panels to create boxes in any size x 1-1/4″ deep
• Alex Syberia Designs Classic Bow Die Set – perfect to add decorative bows to any box.
• CZ Design Tag Greetings Clear Stamps – Awesome greetings for tags or box toppers.
• I also used the embossing folder from Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit Whispers in the Canopy, to add a texture to the top panel of one of the boxes.
• Spellbinders PLATINUM SIX Die Cutting Machine – Perfect to die-cut any project.
• Simon Says Stamp Metal Adapter Plate Shim – Ideal to cut acetate or fabric using wafer dies.
• Spellbinders Pomegranate and Wild Berry ColorWheel Cardstock ( stunning quality cardstock)
• Clear Acetate Sheets by Spellbinders or Simon Says Stamp Clear Acetate Sheets
• Scor-Tape 0.25 Inch Crafting Tape or Simon Says Stamp Red Line Tape 1/4 Inch ( strong tapes -thin, great for this project)
• Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue or Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive ( strong bond liquid adhesives)

TOP TIPS

Cutting the Side Panels

Cut as many box side panels as needed to create the walls of your box. For these heart-shaped boxes, I used three panels and trimmed 3″ off one of them to achieve the perfect length.

No Measuring Required

I didn’t measure anything at first. After making the first box (simply trimming away excess cardstock with scissors), I realised that removing 3″ from one panel was exactly what was needed to fit the heart shape.

Precision Gluing Is Key

This project is all about precision gluing. Take your time to adhere the side panel very tightly to the base shape, as this will give you clean, neat edges. It may take a little practice, but it’s absolutely worth it.

Use Support while gluing

Use a round container underneath to support the paper while pressing down and gluing the 3D pieces.

Decorating Your Box

You can decorate these boxes with die-cut flowers, bows, critters, or any other shapes you like to suit the occasion.

create ANY shaped Box

Gorgeous, isn’t? The tutorial for this guitar- shaped will be available in May 2026. It was made using the Spellbinders Majestic Guitar Box Creator Die Bundle and for the sentiment, I used the Spellbinders Family Musical Mix Greetings Clear Stamp Set.

That is all for today.
