Easy Gift Boxes with Spellbinders Dies

We are very excited to have guest designer Elena Salo on our blog today sharing an easy way to dress up gift boxes with the help of Spellbinders dies.
Hi dear friends. Elena Salo is here and I'm so happy to be with you again and share more creative inspiration! You might remember my first post sharing inspiration with Spellbinders December Card Kit go the Month, find it here. Today I have 2 easy to make projects to share with you. I wand to show how one can easily decorate gift boxes using pretty much any die sets from Spellbinders. Let' start with the first one! I used a plain white box as the base for my projects. You can make your own boxes to make sure they are perfectly sized for the gift you are planning to give or use pre-made boxes.
