Simple Pillow Box Thank Yous

These were super quick little Pillow Boxes that I cranked out with my new Big Shot today! I stamped the first one with some Eastern Blooms flowers then used my new Curly Label Punch & coordinating Cute & Curly stamp set to create a quick thank you label. Then I punched a couple slots with my horizontal slot punch & created a simple little flower with my Boho Blossoms punch & 1/4" circle punch. I added some 1/4" pumpkin pie gg ribbon...and whaa-laa...I was done! A little pouch of candy corn is inside (I LOVE that stuff!). These were all more or less scrap projects. I used cardstock & DP that were left over from other projects I've been working on. It was kind of fun how the colors all worked together...the pumpkin ribbon just tied it all together. For these pillow boxes, I added a layer with my new Wide Oval Punch under the Curly Punch, and ran some Sweet Always DP through the Big shot & it worked awesome!! That Big Shot is one sweet machine : ) !!! One thing I did find in making these pouches, is you really need to use Sticky Strip to hold that long edge of the pouch closed when using cardstock. The DP pouch held together fine with my roll-on adhesive, but the cardstock really needs that extra hold that Sticky Strip gives.
