Top Note treat boxes

I found this idea through another demonstrator.  Sorry can't remember who - but these are fantastic treat boxes that can be used for gift cards, chocolates, jewelry or any small gift.  They can also be customized for birthdays or other holiday's.

 

I will have to try and get the directions posted but I used the top note die for the big shot machine and the Merry Moments designer series paper.  Will post more directions/products later.

Christmas Cheer

This one looks complicated but it really isn't.  The big part of the pattern comes from the Merry Moments designer series paper.  The snowflakes on the left are from the Christmas punches hostess set using chocolate chip.  I used the scallop edge punch for the strip of chocolate chip down the middle.  The brad is a custom one from the build-a-brad set.  I stamped a snowflake from the christmas punches set using real red.

On Dasher...



This card has a base of whisper white with silver embossed snowflakes from the Christmas punch hostess set.  Then I layered a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch "not quite navy" square.  I rounded the corners with the 3/16" corner rounder.  On top is a circle out of whisper white with a silver embossed "Dasher".  Then I used a variety of blues (tempting turquoise, bashful blue, brocade blue and not quite navy) for the snowflakes.  I stamped them on white then individually cut them out and overlapped them around the circle.  The "Merry & Bright" is from a retired stamp set, but any Christmas sentiment would work.
