Patterns are Adobe PDF files. The Adobe Reader is available for free. All of Aunt Annie's project patterns are designed to be printed on standard letter-size paper 8. Cut around the box pattern on the solid black lines. Try to make your cuts very smooth and accurate. The box will be stronger and fit together better if the cuts are made neatly. Using a straight edge or ruler and craft knife will make some of the cutting easier, but be sure to protect the table with a cutting mat or thick piece of cardboard.
Caution: Be careful. Craft knives are sharp and should not be used by children. Score along each of the two straight fold lines and the four curved fold lines in red. On cardstock, use an empty ballpoint pen or bone folder to make an indent—not a cut. If you are using light- to medium-weight cardboard or poster board, use a straight edge and a craft knife or scissors to make a half-cut. Center and glue. Fold the excess paper over and glue, or trim away.
Tip: It is very important to use a strong adhesive when laminating decorative paper to cardstock. Glue sticks and glues marked as suitable for children will not provide a strong enough bond.
When using a spray adhesive, follow the instructions for a permanent bond. This is one of the patterned cardstock designs that I used in this pillow box tutorial. Even though I created different size pillow boxes, the process is the same. Download the pillow box template and upload it to Cricut Design Space. Resize the template to your liking. Insert your Cricut scoring stylus into your machine and cut the pillow box template. I flipped my cardstock on the opposite side so that the score lines would be inside the box.
Fold your pillow box on the dashed or score lines. Glue or tape the flap on the right side of your pillow to the opposite side of your box. Here are my finished products. These different size pillow boxes can be used for numerous gift ideas.

Go to the Cricut Design Space I am currently using the updated version. Uploading Image Drag your template from where ever you saved it usually it would end up in the Downloads Folder. Click Upload. It should look like the image below. You can now name and tag your image.
I usually upload so many things, that I forget to do that. It is helpful later on though. Next, you will want to prepare your file to cut and score at the same time. All three of the lines should be a grey color shown below. You will see that there are 2 layers- both having symbols that look like scissors. You will need to change this. Layer attributes will pop up to the left of the layers bar. This is where you can change what is going on with each layer: Cut : will cut your layer where ever there are lines on that layer.
Write: will draw with a marker that you add where ever the lines are for that layer. This is actually amazing. Print: will print the selected layer. I have never used the function successfully. What this does is essential tells the design space, that you want these layers to stay together, for design purposes. You can move them around and resize them as you want altogether.
This is an awesome feature if you want to make something like this where you would want everything to stay the same ratio to the other layers. When you go to make your project, they will be cut in separate layers. So you will have 2 separate sheets, one with the cut project layer and the other with the score layer. The Design Space is designed to conserve as much of your paper as possible, so it will move the layers accordingly.
This is problematic because the two layers are not the same, so they will not be scored and cut in the correct places. Attach is very similar to the Group function as discussed above. The main difference is that it tells the design space that these need to be made as they are shown in the space.
