Scrap Escape: Pillow Boxes for the Holidays - Spellbinders Steel Rule Die

Pillow Treat Boxes for the Holidays - Spellbinders Steel Rule Dies

Pillow Boxes, treat boxes, gift boxes...they have many names but they are fun and can be used by anyone, for any occasion, year round. My boxes happen to be holiday/Christmas themed.

I'm featuring Spellbinders Contour Pillow Box Steel Rule Die today to remind folks that the gift card season is upon us. This die allows you to give a gift card and so much more - a piece of your creative heart.

It also enables you to give something a little more substantial than just an envelope with gift card, CASH (yeah cash fits great into these boxes).

The wonderful thing about the Pillow Box Die is that they are super quick to make,, can have absolutely any theme, be simple, detailed, masculine, child themed...you get the point. Anything goes. And because they are steel rule, they can cut multiple layers at one time.

Santa's Pillow Box was quick - by adding a brushed brass looking buckle that I had sitting literally for years in my scrap junk drawer. Oh the treasure one will find.

I added a little extra flair to my boxes by wrapping them with ripped muslin. I like the frayed edges when I ripped the muslin for the first box, so I kept on ripping. Just kept right on going...haaaa.

I topped the ripped muslin strip with holiday ribbon and a few baubles, floral berries, pine cones, and some 3D buttons from Buttons Galore and More -3D buttons - Christmas Past.
