A Little Box

This is going to be a quick post. I was going to wait until later to post but I know it will never happen if I don't do it now. I don't know where the week is going but I feel really busy with life. I just had to share this box with you. I first saw it on Jill's blog, so it is not my original idea but I really haven't seen it anywhere else. This was one of those projects that I saw and went straight down to my craft room to give it a try. It was SOOOOO easy. Can you guess what I used to create it?...yep, it was my mini scallop envelope die for the Big Shot! Man, I love this machine! You need four of these envelopes cut and then you just piece together the scored edges. The best thing about this box is that you can cut ALL 4 pieces of cs at the same time! The part that took the most time was the decorative top edge that I added. I felt the box was a little plain, so I ran some Hawaiian Papaya dsp through with the die and then cut off the top scallop and trimmed around the "stitch" marks. I attached that to all four tops of the box. Finished it off with some stitched chocolate grosgrain ribbon and it was done. I wanted to have it all fancied up with something fun inside, but I don't have a reason to give it to anyone yet, so I left it empty. Plus, I think it is too cute and love to just look at it. Have a great Wednesday! Hugs,
