Super simple gift bag using the Faux Alligator skin technique.
1. I cut 2 Scallop circles and one Box #2 with the Big Shot (you need this!) out of Real Red cardstock. 2. Cut the bottom of the scallop circles flat.
3. Press your Versamark pad right onto the carstock and get it all inked up.
4. Sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder.
5. Run your Bone Folder through the Embossing Powder making a Faux Alligator print. Shake off the excess powder.
6. Heat with Heat tool until shiny and clear.
7. Cut the top folding flaps from the Box #2, leaving the box open
8. Adhere the 2 Scallop Circles to each side of the box with Sticky Strip and embellish as desired.
9. This one used 6 layers of DSP cut with the Scallop Circle Punch. Scrunch the layers in your hand, stack, insert the brad and fluff them up to look like a flower. The stem is one of the leaves from the Sweet Peas Stitched Felt.

This little box is so cute! I borrowed my friend's #2 box die since we try to buy different dies and share to save money. I've been trying to think of a cute project to do with it. I'll have to try this one. I'm assuming you used the Big Shot Scallop Circle & not the Scallop Circle #2. Thanks for sharing!
