I went a little crazy during the recent online Clearance Rack Blitz! I couldn't resist all the fantastic deals...especially on dies for the Big Shot. I think I bought one of pretty much every die that was available! When my Petal Card die arrived last weekend I started playing around with it. I tried some ideas I had seen using the Petal Card punch and was thrilled to see that most of them work in the larger version. Today's post is a cute vintage-style gift box that I am going to include in my Tags and Packaging class on Dec. 4th.

This little box is 2 1/2 " square and will hold all sorts of little goodies! |

The top of the box naturally stays closed if you layer the petals. I looks quite pretty as it is but I had to add a little something extra. I only adhered the embellishment to one petal so that it still opens and closes properly. The sentiment is from the Tiny Tags set. |

I tied a bow with the Seam Binding ribbon and then threaded the button with the Chantilly Lace and tied it into a bow as well. A bit much? Maybe...but I like it! |

I tore a strip of the Designer Fabric to decorate my box. Tearing gives it a soft, shabby-chic look. |
I just love Christmas and one of my favourite parts is wrapping gifts beautifully. My friends and family kind of expect a specially-wrapped gift from me and I have discovered that no matter how simple and inexpensive the gift, the recipient always feels extra-special when it is presented in a unique and pretty way. I will absolutely be using this little box in my gift giving this year!
