Gift cards are often the perfect choice so that a recipient can get exactly what they want. Why not dress it up with this sweet box? It starts with the Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Gift Card Box. It’s simple to fold and assemble (no adhesive needed) and takes gift card giving to a new level of fun and anticipation! The “for you” message was cropped with the Love for You Dies, one of My Favorite Things from the annual catalog.
WHAT I LOVE! It’s all in the details of the Everyday Details Dies. Isn’t the dotted and die cut border of the nested rectangles fabulous? The 11 Everyday Details Dies (circles, rectangles, squares and more) were an easy choice for the list of My Favorite Things from the Spring Mini.
