Isn’t this cute? And perfect for those bars of chocolate which won’t fit in a normal-length pillow box!
I first got this idea from a French* demonstrator after receiving an extended pillow box from her in a swap earlier this year. It really is very simple – all you do is die-cut two pillow boxes and join them together with Sticky Strip! Then you just have to make sure you’ve covered the join with something – here I’ve used the oh so very lovely Cheerful Treat Designer Series Paper which is available to hostesses who hold a workshop with sales of £150 or more.
The snail is pretty cute for a vile mollusc/garden pest/thing of nightmares – made even cuter by the paper piecing. I stamped him once on Whisper White cardstock and then again on different scraps of Cheerful Treat paper, which I then cut out and stuck onto the white cardstock. I love the way the swirls of the Bashful Blue piece seem to look particularly shell-like... even in an unrealistic blue!

LOVE this idea and your paper pieced snail! I rarely use this die because I don't have many small things to put in them! Time to get busy!!
