Pretty Matchbox
I love using the Matchbox die! It makes such a pretty presentation for a small gift. For this one I die cut it in Pink Pirouette and stamped the butterfly from Creative Elements in Pink Pirouette Classic ink on the top of the band. Then I used the oval embossing folder and oval punch to make a window. Window sheets make a great way to make a "peek a boo." 
To make the butterfly, I stamp it three times on Whisper White in Pink Pirourette and cut it out. Use Tombow Multipurpose to adhere two pieces of fishing string between the layers - glue just at the center - and let it dry. Add pearls to the center and on the ends of fishing string. Then I used Stampin Write Markers to make the little tag, punch out with the tag punch and add a little pearl to the flower center. I used Tombow to glue the butterfly and tag to the box.
The sides are covered with Pink Pirouette DSP. Some Whisper White taffeta ribbon (and the Crop a dile!) make the pull. 
Wouldn't these make cute shower/wedding favors? Here's a few more variations on this idea -

Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Fran, did you make two bands for this box and glue them together? You have a solid piece of cardstock but the sides are patterned. Did you layer the window sheet between a solid and pattern piece? TIA

Hi Patsy,
I thought I'd answer you here in case anyone else wants this info. The Matchbox die has two pieces - a box bottom and a belly band. All the decorating work I did was on the belly band. The window sheet is adhered on the back side of the band with Tombow and I covered the sides of the band with DSP. The box base is simply the Pink Pirouette card stock. Let me know if you need a better explanation! Hugs, Fran

Fran, these boxes are so beautiful! I love how you used the new embossing frame to accent the window! Genius! Do you have a tutorial for your ribbon flower? I don't know how to do that and it is very pretty!
