The Die Cut Divas - Anything but a Card

Yeah, I just was the random winner at the Die Cuts Divas last challenge - of course I have to play again. This time the theme is "Anything but a card".

I decided to make a few gift card pillow boxes. There are always so many birthdays - can't have too many of those.... I think they are gender neutral... more or less....





I used the Papertrey pillow box die. The word dies are also Papertrey. The "for" actually says "forever", but its easy enough to cut it off. The little bird is from Memory box. The elephant is on of those $stamps from Michaels and the turtle is from Inkadinkadoo. I stamped them and fuzzy cut them.  Some twine and a little scalloped punch as a tag. The paper is by Dream Street. The pillowbox die is cleverly designed - you can make 4 boxed from one sheet of paper.



 I did not fold the boxed in the bottom image - its easier to store them flat.
