♥ Elegant Jewelry Gift Box ♥

Hi there! Stopping in today with a fun project that I want to share with you. I used some of the dies from the new Shadowbox Vignettes Collection by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I made a Jewelry Gift Box that can also be used as a little Jewelry Box. So it's a gift within a gift. And it was super easy to make, thanks to Becca's incredible Dies! :)

I started by making a frame with the Adjustable Shadowbox Frame with 3/4" Border. I then made a top using a piece of cardboard which I then covered in blue cardstock to match the frame. I then scored a 1/2" line at one end and folded it over the edge of the frame securing it with hot glue. Here is the back of it.

I then added the Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies on the top of the box and then embellished with lots of pearls, gem strips and ribbon. I added a little crystal in the front to serve as the "handle" to open the box.

This would make a wonderful presentation to someone on their Wedding or Anniversary. Whether you include a piece of jewelry, a card or a gift card, it is something that will be treasured, for sure.

You can find all of Becca's wonderful Dies HERE!

Have a super AMAZING day!
