I used our clear pillow boxes - they are ONLY $2.95 for a set of 3 of these boxes!! I love that you have SO MANY options to fill this box!

Here are just a few ideas in filling this box…

chocolate candy to brighten someone's day
Bath salts to treat a friend to a relaxing break
potpourri to scent the room your in
a teacher’s gift to say “Thank You” for a job well done
FUN embellishments & sparkles for your creative friend

Read on for details on the creation of this box….

I used the NEW Huntington paper pack for the background of the box.
I used some almond glitz glitter gel to the flowers to add more sparkle.
I inked the edge of the champagne colored Cricut flower with barn red ink.
I used the Frame Flair stamp set and a NEW stamp set Look to the Light for the sentiment on this card.
I used our NEW scallop border punch on our NEW bronze shimmer trim tape to get my sparkly border edges.

The flower was created from "Key D" of the Artbooking cartridge...
I'm so THANKFUL that CTMH chose to continue to have a 3d flower on the Artbooking cartridge!!

The flourish of leaves, comes from the "Key 9" of this cartridge.

The Frame Flair stamp set coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge...and I used the Square 5 shape.

I hope this has INSPIRED you to create your OWN giftable item! J
