Today I have a gorgeous Christmas gift box that I have made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month November 2019 – Winter’s Solstice. I enjoy making boxes or bags to add small treats such as chocolates for my family for Christmas and when I saw that Becca Feeken had made a video demonstrating how to make this box I had to make it. You can see the video here. I had a lot of fun making this and decorating it with various dies from Amazing Paper Grace.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
I have made the box according the the instructions from Becca Feeken up to adding the gold dies. You can see the video here. I did inlay some of the gold accents in the large outer decorative die and added some gold pearls to decorate them. I also added the ribbon but left the bow and decorated the top of the box with floral elements for a festive feel.
To decorate my box I have die cut several foliage elements from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies and Petite Floral Potpourri Dies from green, red and brown cardstock to create the base.
The lantern is also from the Holiday Label Motif Dies and made from gold mirror cardstock and I have used Copic markers to colour the flame on the candle. This was added using foam squares.
The poinsettia is from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettia Dies and I have used Copic markers to colour the flowers and leaves before assembling the flower. I then used some Moonlight Gold Lunar Past for some golden sparkle and the stamens have been made from yellow Nuvo drops and I have added a dot of red in the centres with a red Copic marker.
The white flowers are made using the flower die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 – Elegant Infinity and after shaping and adding the stamens I added some Crystal Stickles to the petals for some shine and sparkle.
To finish the box I added a gold ribbon to the sides of the top and finished it with a gold pearl.
