Today I want to share a cute little gift box that is just the right size to put a gift card or some other small gift. I used the Sizzix ScoreBoard box with scallop flap die.

I really love how easily the Sizzix dies cut through even the thickest materials . . . even the rhinestone sticker sheets from The Buckle Boutique! To start with I cut a piece of pink cardstock with the die. Easy. Just turn the crank on the Big Shot and you are done.

Next I cut a small piece of the rhinestone sticker sheets from The Buckle Boutique. This pattern is from the Boudoir Quad Sheet. The lips all over are so cute! I cut a piece that was just a little bigger than the flap portion of this die. The I set the rhinestone sticker sheet on the die with the backing touching the die . . . put the top plate on . . . crank . . .

And this is what you get! PERFECTLY cut scalloped edges that are cut right through the rhinestone "gems". The reason it can cut through them is that they are not a hard rhinestone. These "gems" are made from a soft material that you can cut with scissors, a craft knife and yes . . . a die cutting machine . . . but they sparkle and shine like real rhinestones.

Next, I peeled off the backing from the rhinestone sticker sheet and applied it to the flap portion of the box. I used a little ribbon to help keep it closed after I put the gift card inside.

I gave my mother a gift card in this box for her birthday, and my niece now wants one of these little boxes for herself. She is a girl that loves her bling.
