This is such a cute stamp set this month!  With over 75 consultants participating in this Blog Hop, you're sure to see alot of super-cute ideas and different ways to use it.

Here's a look at my project......

I was inspired by the pumpkin wooden shape in the Pathfinding Assortment (Z3012).  It reminded me of Fall, Thanksgiving and Pumpkin Pie-which led me to create the pie box on pg. 70 of the Cricut Artiste booklet.

I set the size dial to 6 inches and cut the bottom of the box out of a sheet of Pathfinding paper (X7186B).  The top was also cut at 6 inches, out of Champagne cardstock.  The hearts were cut from Artiste as well, at 1 3/4 inches and stamped with Glacier ink (Z2641).  I stamped the small flower image with Champagne ink (Z2174) along the edge of the box top.  I traced the lid, then cut a coordinating triangular-shaped piece of Pathfinding paper for the top of the lid.

The edges of all the papers and cardstock were sponged with Chocolate ink (Z2111).  The sentiment was stamped with Chocolate ink as well.  I added some Gold Shimmer Trim (Z1985) along the bottom of the box and on top for extra sparkle.  The bow is Neutral Bakers Twine (Z1921) with a Gold Bling Gem (Z2023) in the middle.

This box would be perfect at Thanksgiving to send a piece of pie home with your guests.  I would probably line the inside of the box with wax paper first.
