I've Always Loved....

LITTLE BOXES!!

So I bought a die for my Big Shot and then let it sit for awhile till a little project came my way... can't post it here but I did make a couple of different ones for myself... just to look at...

There is just so much you can do to a box... depending on the shape of course! These ones are like little bags but to me they're a box. Here are a couple of takes on the shape... I am going to make some for an advent treat for my grandkids so as I gather up little things to put in them, I am going to get some sets ready for all 5 of them this coming Christmas.

This one is made using kraft cardstock and is just a plain little gift holder.

This one was made with cardstock... it was a little stiff but that was okay, it still worked out fine. I covered a piece of chipboard with paper then traced it onto cardstock so I could make an offset to attach to it so it would show up a little better against the paper on the box... I like how it turned out. I find it hard to use my chipboard...I am a hoarder!!
