Here's a little tutorial on putting Frankenstein together (and the small mat cookie tower that is in two pieces really) for those of you who need it:
These are the pieces that should cut out when you cut the top and bottom for the franky tower. Note that the top (in dark grey) has three pieces, the bottom (in green) has four pieces, and I cut out an additional two circles in black at about .65 inches and two circles in white at about .9 inches (not shown - whoops).
First, put the two large pieces for the actual box together by lining up the flap and the circle cut out, making sure that the tab for connecting the two on the side matches up (look at the very left hand side of the picture). Put adhesive all the way across the top of the bottom piece as shown.
Attach the two so that the box is now in one piece.
Score lines (starting from the right) at 2.75 inches. Do this four times (2.75 inches from the last score line). Score from the bottom about 1.75 inches up.
Score from the top about 1.75 inches down from the top of the flap and then again from the bottom of the flap.
Follow the rest of the directions under
this post for finishing folding the tops and putting on the acetate, etc.
I hope ya'll aren't sick of the cookie towers yet, because I've been telling people that I was going to make a version for the baby bug. So, I did. It posed a bit of a problem for me. I couldn't make it the 6" size or you would have made a box that was about an inch or so tall with mostly the top triangle and the closure for the bottom. You'd be giving away like two cookies! I also couldn't make the width total 6", or you would be making 1" cookies to give away! So, I had to opt for piecing. I have a top and a bottom for you baby buggers out there. I didn't make a smaller version for this tower because I figured it would be easy to cut it down to whatever size you wanted it. You'll notice that I just moved the cookie tower up for the bottom. Just put the mat size to 6 x 12 for each of the files and you're golden!
For everybody else (and the baby buggers too), I also created a file for a frankenstein tower. It's a little bigger than the small version of the tower. This is also a two piecer and I thought it would be fun to show you what you could do with this new take...two different pieces of paper, designed in a fun way...this cut is so versatile!!! I had no idea when I first designed the tower that it would work for so many different things. (Patting myself on the back) So I really hope you have a need this Halloween for a fun treat bag. I thought it was a decent way to help those with only 6" mats and provide something for all the rest of us as well! Enjoy!
Here are the files for:
Cookie Tower - svg (This is for someone on the scal forum who specifically asked for it as .svg...I haven't cut it yet and the middle shape is not in there, but someone else cut it and said it worked great!)
P.S. I got the idea for this Franky from my dear SIL, Jill, who sent me such a cute card (below) a year or two ago and I loved so much that I kept it! He's so cute! Thanks Jill! Of course, the Frankenstein face svg can also be used to make this little card! Hooray!
And here it is! I created a picture in inkscape with a free Christmas background I found online and added some text and colored box shapes. Then of course I sent it to Michelle who promptly fixed it and changed my png to a jpg for me. She really made it turn out beautiful and it was such a fast way to get 20 cello bags done!
These are the ones Michelle made...so cute!

Here's a little tutorial on how to make the pies. After you make your own pie crust (the box for this has a recipe for crust that is actually better in this setting than any other fantastic pie crust recipe you have - believe me, I've tried both! The one on the box is the right consistency and dryness so that it doesn't stick to the mold when you cut it out), press the mold onto the rolled out crust like so...
Then simply put a bottom and a top into the mold and put in the apple pie filling you canned when I posted that recipe. What?! You didn't can 32 quarts of apple pie filling to use for things like this? Shame on you. Brush edges with egg wash, and close mold to seal crust together.
Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Then, bake for about 20 minutes in 400 degree oven.
Enter box.
Lay down some wax paper so you don't ruin the paper box and stick that baby in!
Decorate with some cute ribbon, and, if you're better than me, make a cute tag to go with it to say thanks this Thanksgiving!
As always, here is an svg for you to use in your quest for pie giving.
This is the milk carton from Creative Cuts and More. The color is Pinecone Bazzill Textured. I know it's rather plain, cut it sure made an easy gift. With the die cut already scored, it was just a matter of printing off the cute little poem, putting together the box, and gluing on some pom pom balls, googly eyes, and ribbon. I also cut a little half circle at the bottom of the back side and put another brown pom pom on so that you can easily pour out Whoppers. I did, of course, make a .svg for the reindeer antlers. But that was cake to cut out and glue on. 
For this project, I used the French Fry Box in Caramel Curious Metallics, Leaves #03 – mini in Bronze Curious Metallics, and the Buckle #01 Set in Cappuccino Curious Metallics, and I have to say, I am all over these cuts and colors. This is probably my favorite box cut out of all five of the ones I chose for my projects this month. It’s gorgeous! I don’t know if you can see it in the pic, but the paper shimmers and just looks really rich and elegant. (And I love elegant!) The paper is nice and thick too. I can’t say enough about it. I love how it stands – perfectly. I’m happy just looking at it!
This other project uses their Basket with Handle in Tangerine Blast Bazzill Smooth. It’s such a fun and versatile basket. There’s another great project using this cut for Easter that you can see on the website. And don’t forget to get that great Red Tacky Tape! It’s a must for these boxes!

Denise Hill made these darling small cookie towers...and designed an awesome carrier to hold four! I SO love it! She graciously allowed me to put it on here. She also gave me the file for the carriers and she is willing to share with everyone. (Hooray!) 
Wow that second pic is blur-ry! This is a little cut file I made after seeing this type of box on a few different websites. I thought it was really cute and I wanted to make a fun invitation for a chocolate girls night out I had last week. I cut it at 7.5. It fit a little hershey's bar (you know, the fun size) and an invitation that I curled up and put around the chocolate. I hung it from doorknobs of friends and neighbors. 
Well, I know I'm late, again. But seeing as how yesterday was the fourth of July, I'm gonna give myself a break (like anybody else was actually looking yesterday anyway!). 
This is a really cute cut file I got from My Sherry Amour's website! It's so cute...even without a lot of embellishments! And I can think of many uses for it too! I recently gave one to my mom with my favorite recipes and the spices she needed to prepare them (she's been on a mission so she came back to no food of any kind and not having cooked for a year and a half!). Made a really cute little gift! Sherry has a few other cut files that she's allowing everyone to download as well...head on over!
I made these for Mother's Day for some friends and people I visit monthly. It's nice cuz you can get three of these little treat bags out of one piece of paper. I scored lines at 4 inches from each end. The girl is an svg I made from clip art (of course I had to alter it quite a bit), so I'm giving you that svg that you can cut at 4" high. Remember to keep the dimensions proportional!! For the fonts, I used blazed and ck curly on the front. The tag is just stamped. When I had it all on there, I just stapled the little baggie with the front and back all together. I put cinnamon bears inside, but I think Hot Tamales would probably look even better - but then you might run into the problem of them being too hot for your ladies!
