I had these tiny cardboard rolls from some post-it tape that I thought would make cute little boxes. From cereal boxes, I die cut circles for the top and bottom, and glued several layers together for stability. I added some patterned paper and punched borders, as well as an embossed medallion on top. The top piece is just the center of the medallion, which is one of my new Christmas toys. It cuts and embosses at the same time. It has 2 sizes and I think it's going to become one of my favorite dies.

So original and what an inspiration! You created such lovely boxes out of something you'd have thrown away otherwise. And what a clever use of the Sizzix cut and emboss medallions.
