Pillow Boxes with Tresors de Luxe

I love gift giving! As I get older I realize that it truly is the thought that counts. Sometimes a little present to say "I'm thinking of you" is all you need to touch someone, to brighten their holiday.

I was thinking of filling these little pillow boxes with sweets or cookies for those I want to acknowledge with a small something, such as neighbours and teachers. I've made the boxes with Graphic 45 papers Twas the Night Before Christmas and 12 Days of Christmas, using the template on the inside cover of their paper pads. To really make them stand out I've added snips of lace, fabric flowers and embellishments from Tresors de Luxe.

You could create something simple and elegant with muted colours.

Or get truly festive with a cranberry and gold colour scheme!

No matter how simple or elaborate your design, the extra effort to beautifully package a simple gift, makes it all the more thoughtful :)
