Button & Die-Namics Gift Box

Welcome to the Buttons Galore & More and My Favorite Things blog hop!  There are some great projects from two design teams to share.

I created a gift box by starting with


a candy box!


I glue a piece of cardstock to the top with Zip Dry by Beacon Adhesives.


I used my Sizzix Big Shot to die cut  my Die-Namics Fancy Flourish, Die-Namics Vintage Flourish and Die-Namics Framed Greetings Die


I was  not sure which of the die cuts I would be using so I cut them all out knowing if I did not use them all they would be used in another project...


I got out my "Get-It-Straight" Laser Square from Kelly Craft to line up my Greeting Stamp since the frame and the saying were separate, the "Get-It-Straight" Laser Square made it easy to line the two stamps up straight (I must admit I am loving this tool)!


I stamped my saying and frame with Color Box ink by Clearsnap


Glued the frame onto the top center of the box.  Then I cut the shanks off 2 Flower Buttons (Daisy Delight #4259)  and 2 Butterfly Buttons (Butterfly Kisses #4252) from Buttons Galore and More.


I glued these to the corners of the box with Felt Glue from Beacon Adhesives....


Then I tied a bow around the outer edge of the box.


Add some tissue paper and this makes a perfect little gift box!
