Graphic 45 
Sweet Sentiments 
Pillow Gift Box
'Easter Greetings'

Hello dear G45ers! 
Sharing some Easter inspiration featuring 
the older yet beautiful Sweet 
Sentiments Collection.

I adore this collection and it is a perfect 
line for all those pretty Easter and
 Spring projects. I created this cute little
 Pillow Gift Box using a box die and
 lots of various cutting dies, lace, string 
and pretty flowers to put it all together.


Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 
may use to recreate such a project:

Graphic 45 Supplies used:
Sweet Sentiments 12x12 Collection

Other Supplies:
Various Dies
Red Double Sided Tape
Needle & Thread 
Metal Key Embellishment
Pin
Flowers
Lace and String
Ribbon 
 Pom Pom Wool
Rhinestones and Sequins
Watercolor Paper


Cut 2 shapes from the collection
sheets using the pillow box die.
Assemble accordingly. 
Tip : Use red double sided
tape to adhere boxes. 
This makes assembly easy and will 
prevent the box from falling apart. 

Bonus Tip: In the G45 8x8 paper pads 
you will find a template of the same
 box if you do not own such a die.


I used a cream colour lace. Take your 
thread and needle and stitch it through 
the lace as if you were going to make a
 flower, but only half a flower.


Cut a few shapes from the collection
sheets and watercolor paper using
 various dies.
Tip and fun fact : Did you know... 
you can use wax/parchment 
paper to place on your die and then
your cutting material before 
putting it through your die cutting 
machine. This will make removing 
the shape from the die easier. 


Fussy-cut a few elements from
 the collection sheets. 


Tuck in the fussy-cut elements 
behind the flowers. 


Add rhinestones to the centre
 of the butterflies.


Add the lace piece, wool and 
string behind the flowers.
  

Add the ribbon and stick to the box
with a pin. Add the metal key 
embellishment.


Add some sequins for that 
extra shimmer.

Happy Papercrafting!
