The 12 Days of Christmas Paper Crafts event begins the day after Thanksgiving, and runs from November 24th through December 5th.

My workshop will be live on Day 8 – December 1st.

If you join in the middle of the event, you’ll only get the remaining projects. So definitely sign up now!

There are 12 guest designers; each designer hosts their own tutorial.

It’s free and there are no VIP or upgrade options.

Emails will be sent at 11am MST each day.

In that email, there will be two links. One to download the SVG from a Google Drive, and one to the tutorial.

When you click on the “Get Free SVG File Here” button in your email, a new browser window will open.

You’ll need to click on the download icon in your email, as shown circled in red below.

When you click on the icon, the ZIP file will be downloaded to your computer. Then you can unzip it and upload the SVG as usual.

The only way to get the SVG for free is through clicking the link in your email, so please be sure to sign up for the free ticket to get on the list.



My workshop will show you how to make a Cash Cascade Gift Box!

The tutorial and video will be live after the event starts.

I’ll show you how to make this gorgeous gift box, which is exactly the right size to hold US Dollar bills.


Pull out the drawer and you get an explosion of cash!

Super fun, right!?!

Making the Cash Cascade Gift Box for a birthday?

I have one in progress and am using this package of double-sided birthday paper. It makes it so easy to coordinate the colors and theme!


Making it for an anniversary or another celebration?

Try using this 24-sheet gold paper pack, along with the Gold Treasure Sequin Glitter Cardstock and the Fine Gold Pearlescent Cardstock for accent papers.

Tips:

Use 65 lb cardstock.

​Watch the video comparing how high the cubes jump​ using 100 lb paper vs. 65 lb paper. (While you’re there, and add me on Instagram if it’s your thing.)


Organize your SVGs and PDFs on your desktop computer with these pretty folder icons!

Download them from the Free Files Folder.

They are design #130 – Cardstock and Cash Cascade File Folder Icons.

Be sure to download the correct file, depending on whether you have a Mac or a PC.

Learn how to change your file folder icons with this tutorial.

    Emily, I clicked on the get tutorial here link in my email but I can’t figure out how to get the tutorial. The YouTube video won’t play & nothing I click on allows me to save the tutorial, it’s also not a full tutorial on this page it brought me to. I even tried clicking on free files folder & Explosion boxes. The SVG link also didn’t come up in Google docs either. Please help, I’m in EST time zone so I have limited time today to get this workshop.

      Perhaps try playing the video directly at the YouTube link? https://youtu.be/Vc7Od6i1A2g?si=Hd42jduNiBSch-A5

      Did you click on the red GET SVG button in your email to get the file?

      If you’re still having problems, email me directly at emily@minordiy.com and I’ll be happy to help.

    So cute! My grandson’s birthday is in a couple of weeks and he is a real trickster. I think he will enjoy this.

      I bet he will!

      I bought a pack of double-sided birthday paper and it made it VERY easy to get perfectly-matched papers and colors for this project. I’ll add the link to the post if you want to check it out.

    If I make 3 of these boxes, do I need to triple my paper supplies or will some of the colored paper have enough left over for another project?

    Reply
    • Emily says

      November 25, 2023 at 12:59 pm

      You will need to triple the number of pieces of paper for the cubes (6 per box), and get 6 pieces of the 55 pt. cardstock if you’re using that. (If you have 110 lb cardstock, that would work too.)

      The rest of the pieces can be cut out of any type of cardstock; it’s more so if you want certain papers to match.

      I hope that helps!

    If I’m making 3 Cascade Gift Boxes, will I need to triple all the cardstock supplies?

    I signed up just to see this project! It looks wonderful!!! Do you think it would work with a gift card or would that be too heavy.
