I made this box for the Alphabet challenge for the letter E for Elegant Box and for Embossing (heat). I saw a video online recently and really wanted to make this box, but I do not have the SU Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies, so I pondered for a couple of days. Then I wondered if my Tim Holtz dies would work so I gave them a go. It is not a perfect fit, but I am satisfied with the end result. The silver die cut piece on top is white card stock that I heat embossed with silver EP so it would match the silver embossing I did along the sides of the lid. I stamped the "Fabulous Friend" from the SU Oval All stamp set and placed that in the middle of the Fancy Tag Label. This box did take some time to make, but it was a lot of fun to watch it all come together too. This is the video that inspired me to make this wonderful box: . Enjoy!

Karen, this box is gorgeous! That die cut design is beautiful and I love the heat embossed pattern on the sides of the top as well as the coloor combo.

I agree - this is gorgeous!! I'm stunned. Love your finished box, the time was worth it. The silver is a nice touch and a lovely contrast to the red. Excellent for letter E. TFS
