Christmas box



I made this gift box earlier this week. We still have Christmas get-togethers after Christmas here, so there are still small gifts to give away... The box was inspired by the glittered patterned CS from My Mind's Eye. There are so many fun papers in the pack. With this box I used Choc Chip CS on the bottom. The box top is out of the glitter paper. I had an oops while scoring the corners so I had to devise a way to hold the corners together better--and then came up with the Choc Chip corners--1/2 square folded in half. The edging around the box was done with Martha Stewart edge punch in Buckaroo Blue CS, and sponged with Choc Chip ink. The swirls are die cuts from Quickutz. I love them! I dipped some of the brown ones in iridescent white glitter and it turned out the same color of blue. The snowflakes were punched from Kraft colored CS, glittered and then sponged with Choc Chip ink. The tag was made using Basic Grey stamps in Choc Chip ink. Also used are ribbon and jute twine. Aside from the oopsy on the corners I thought it turned out ok...
