Matchbox Nugget Easel Top Gifts

I have been busy working on making items for some upcoming craft shows and a new consignment shop that I have recently visited with. Tonight I used the <retired> Sizzix Matchbox Die from Stampin Up. I guess I was slow on the uptake that this die was SO much fun to work with. I added one of my favorite card features...the easel...to display the greeting and very sparkly snowflake. Inside the box are four Hershey's nuggets that make a nice gift for a friend, co-worker or anyone else that you want to get a little inexpensive something for during the holiday.

I also have to tell you one more thing that just thrilled me. The Sizzix Bigz dies from Stampin Up work in the Cuttlebug (incase you have one of these and not the Big Shot from Stampin Up). 

On the bottom of the box I have used a pull tab. I think it helps people to know that #1) It does open and #2) Where to pull. I find that helps to save the box from wear and tear with the constant opening and closing of it. 

Tomorrow (after Cinderella gets her work done), I plan on making a set of magnets that will coordinate with this project. I will post the pictures here as well as my FB page:
