Long pillow box

Today, I thought I would share with you a gift box idea.

The pillow box die is great for creating little boxes very quickly, but sometimes you need something a little bigger for a gift.  Well, there are a number of other ideas that this die can be used for, one of which is a longer box created with 2 die cuts.

I've used Melon Mambo and Basic Black card stock to create this box and simply attached one end of each box to the other with red sticky tape and then covered the join with some DSP.  I've used a strip of the Cheerful Treat DSP from the hostess section of the catalogue and then cut out a piece of the same with the labels collection framelits die (smallest one) before mounting a butterfly cut with the Beautiful Butterflies die.  I've actually used some fabric from the Flirtatious range, which has been stuck to a piece of card using the multipurpose adhesive sheets, before cutting out.  Finally a couple of Basic Pearls to finish.
