I was aked to make a couple of boxes for a friend, that would suit men and big enough to put in a gift card and maybe just a few choccies. This is what I came up with, and I have simply used the same design and size as the ones in this tutorial.
Using DSP from SU! that I had in my collection I set out stamping the outer rims using the borders from the JustRite Stampers Christmas Ensemble. I then cut them out with the Spellbinders Circles.
The tree in this image is from the SU! Holiday Spirit set, which is stamped with Palette Burnt Umber and coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. All the edges of the box bottom and top have been sponged, as well as both stamped images.
This box uses the Christmas Tree set from Kitchen Sink Stamps, and has been stamped using SU! Always Artichoke.
The Dew Drops are from the Rose collection, but looked a little pink for this project so once attached I coloured them with my Copic markers to make them more red. Don't you just love these markers?
The ribbon holding the box together is newsatin edged organza I now have in stock and will be online very soon.
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope your Christmas preparations are moving along steadily.
What lovely boxes! Very suitable for men,... but I'd love to be the one on the receiving end!
