Ocean Box Party Favor with Sizzix
Today I'm sharing a quick and easy ocean box I made with some of my new nautical Sizzix dies. The box die is so sweet and would be perfect for a nautical or under the sea birthday party!

I used my Sizzix Big Shot and the Filmstrip Frames die to die cut some film strips out of black card stock. To do this I made a Sizzix sandwich with ... [ Read More ]
