 Today is all about a quick and easy banner die box made to fit a cookie, cocoa, gift card and candy cane.  Who wouldn't want to receive one?  I love using the different banner dies to make boxes.  They're all so wonderfully easy to put together and, depending on the decorations you choose, quick!  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.  This one doesn't take a lot of supplies to make.
