When I first saw the new MCT Scalloped Stitched Envelope Die, I just knew there was more to it than an envelope. So I thought outside the box. Or maybe this is thinking IN the box? Either way - now it's a box.
To create my box, I cut the envelope out twice. The bigger flaps of each die cut are on the 'outside' of the box (see side view photo). The little circle that comes with the die serves as the 're-enforcement' for the eyelet that the rope strings through. I cut a piece of card stock at 3-1/8" x 2-1/4" to make a bottom.
This simple little box would be perfect for some sweet treats, don't you think? Add some tissue and cookies and you've got a great little package for someone special!
