Although I made these with the small Gift with Purchase boxes that come with
stamps from The Angel Company, they can be made with the small boxes from Sizzix
dies or similar boxes. I used larger boxes and made shaker desk boxes and put
them on a small base. One is a beach scene with sand and miniature beach toys.
