Instructions:

1. For the first pillowbox, I chose to use a heavy patterned paper with no letterpress plates while creating the box. I did use a letterpress plate for the tag.
   
   
    
2. To begin my layering, I created die cuts using the Tag and the Scalloped Circle Design Sets.
   
   
    
3. The die cuts were layered with a small paper doily and a small shipping tag.
    
4. Small punched shapes were then added to the box.
   
   
    
5. Stickers and a Maya Road wooden rabbit were used to finish off my girl-themed gift wrapping.
   
   
    
6. To create boy-themed gift wrap, I started with the same pillowbox die, but added one of the letterpress plates.
   
   
   
   
    
7. Using the Stamp Design Set and a few punches, I was able to create a masculine look with my layering.
   
   
    
8. And finally, again starting with the pillowbox die cut as my base, I used die cuts made with the Frame and Butterfly Design Sets to create a pretty, more feminine gift wrapping for women.
   
   
    
9. As you can see, the Pillowbox Design Set is a very versatile set that allows you to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind gift wrappings for anyone!
