For December Christmas Prize Giveaway Please Go here
Good Morning!
Our family had a wonderful Christmas party this weekend. It was at my niece Bonnie's brand new house. I wanted to make her a homemade gift. I LOVE making boxes and I found this really cute treat box in the Cricut Sweet Tooth Cartridge, page 7.
And who is that standing by the door waiting to greet everyone? Ginger Santa from Digital Delights by Louby Loo! I really had fun coloring this digital stamp but remember, if you like the look of digi stamps but don't want to color them, Digital Delights sells them already colored! http://www.digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/
This box had windows that were open so I covered the windows with pieces of plastic that I cut out from an old clam shell that I had taken off of something I had bought so that the treats wouldn't fall out.
I just put glue around the window and cut out a piece of plastic to fit and glued it on.
Here is a side view of the box.
I used Martha Stewart's Holiday Punch "Drippy Goo" to make the icicles and then covered them with white stickels.
Here is the back of the house.
And here is my beautiful niece Bonnie (baby due in March) enjoying her gift!
Thanks for stopping by today I hope that everyone is having fun making new Holiday crafts, if you have any questions about this project just ask, I will be happy to answer!
Hugs!
