This project came together because of odds and ends I had on my desk, sometimes it pays not to clean as I go (yeah, I'm OCD). I had just finished a card with my hand twisted crepe paper flowers and I had a few left over. I also had a couple Easter basket die cuts lying around. So when I started playing with the new pillow box die I glanced down at my desk and all the pieces just came together like magic, I love when that happens which is actually quite rarely - lol.
I was also pleased to discover that our new pillow box is large enough to hold a gift card. The purse coupled with either of my last two birthday card posts would make a sweet card & gift combo just by matching (or even not matching) the crepe paper and/or balloon colors. I hope I've inspired you to make some of your own. :)
Tip: To give your handle more durability I left the Easter Basket in tact and adhered the bottom portion to the inside of the pillow box with just the handle portion sticking out.
PS - I'll post the card I mentioned with the hand twisted flowers in my next post.
