I picked up some clearanced pillow boxes at Michael's last month. I decided to use them as gift card holders. I put in a couple of restaurant gift cards and folded the flaps closed.
The boxes were in a pack of 20 reduced to $1.99. I liked the pattern so I decided having some on hand would be okay. Yes, I know that I could have cut the pillow boxes with my Cricut but sometimes having a few on hand makes me more inclined to do a project or at least it spurs me on to try.
I used Stampin UP! chocolate chip ribbon to secure the flaps. I tied them with a chocolate baker's twine.
I looked through my fall related embellishments. I found a bag of Holiday Dazzlers by Petaloo. Those are the glittery foam leaf stickers. They shimmer so nicely. Being a sticker they also help keep the ribbon in place.
I used a Stampin UP! round metal tag and painted it with Ginger Peach Twinkling H2O for more shimmer. I let the tag dry then stamped it using CTMH chocolate ink and a PTI Mega Mixed Messages stamp "Just Because". I attached it with chocolate bakers twine.
Once I had decided on the decorations, they were easy to reproduce as I needed 6 of them.
