Craft Along: Pumpkin Treat Box

I’ve got a new Silhouette Craft Along class showing you how to make a Pumpkin Treat Box. This class uses the new Portrait 4! You can also use any older model of Portrait or any Cameo to make this easy cardstock craft. This is just in time for Halloween, or make these for your Thanksgiving table!

Watch the video below and craft along with me!
