I designed a box to use in between the die shapes.  I made it hold a necklace, but it can hold candy or a key, or money!

I will be creating a template for it so that you can build a little box like this too, you just have to have the Cross Die set from Clear Dollar Stamps in conjunction with the template pattern.  This box template (which will include SVG cut files) will soon be available to buy at Clear Dollar Stamps too, we just weren't able to get it all ready for the 1st.  It will be ready soon!

I used the Cross Additions stamp set to stamp the cross die cutouts.

SUPPLIES:

• STAMPS: Cross Additions stamp set by Clear Dollar Stamps
• CS/PAPER: pear pizzazz, rose, guava, decorative DP for the inside of box
• INK: Wasabi, Guava
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: Cross Die set by CDS, Spellbinders octagon dies, sewing machine, pearls, ribbon, clear acetate sheet
• TEMPLATE:  Made my own, but it will soon be available as a PDF printout and SVG cutout at Clear Dollar Stamps
