| Graphic 45 Gift Box |
Hi friends, it's very ,very hot in Bangalore right now and I have not been crafting or blogging as my craft room with my computer is on the top floor of our house and it's literally a furnace there !!
But I had to make a
Christmas themed project for my DT post at the
Rudolph Days Challenge and so here I am burning the midnight oil [because it's slightly cooler at night]!!
 |
| Graphic 45 Time to Flourish |
My crafty mojo has been near absent and to try and rectify it I went craft shopping and picked up my first
Graphic 45 paper packs!! Woo Hooo am I in love or what!!!
 |
| Chocolate Box |
I altered this box [ which housed chocolates gifted to us by a kind soul!] with my first
Graphic 45 paper and added lots of my favorite elements including snow[ using
whipped spackle ], cute birds, a chipboard candle stick and chipboard giftbox !
 |
| Graphic 45 Gift Box |
Added a gorgeous fabric
flower trim [gifted to me by my crafter friend Remya] around the box decorated with cute penguins from the
Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holiday paper stack. Loved adding a metal clasp to the box and tiny snow laden ribbon roses.

I am in love with the
Spellbinders Magnolia die and keep adding these handmade Magnolias to all my projects these days!!

Isn't the sparkle just awesome on this festive project? [achieved by spraying with
E6000 spray glue and dusting
Dress my Craft sparkling dust]

The "Deck the Halls" is an additional element from
Graphic 45 and propped up on foam tape and dressed up with a gorgeous resin crown!

| Christmas Box |
And now comes my absolute favorite part of this project...the glittering sparkling
Cookie Cutter tree cut from foam and shimmering white paper using a gorgeous
Poppy Stamps die gifted to me by the super generous Maureen the host of our Rudolph Days Challenge!

On opening the box..at first it looks like a regular box with handmade goodness inside!
 |
| Shaped Box |
I made some simple tags using Graphic 45 and Debbie Mumm papers and the
Poppy Stamps Pinpoint Main Street Tags die[ my favorite die for tags!]
 |
| Shaped Box with Tags |
And hehe there are more magnolias and some gorgeous burlap sticker elements!
 |
| Shaped Box with Tags |
On unlatching the clasp on the box....voila...the box swings open into a 3 tiered gift box! The box is sturdy enough to hold tags, decorative chipboard elements and chocolates!!

| Shaped Box with Tags |
I had so much fun altering this box and I think it was just right to get my mojo back! When I am feeling more clever...I will whip up a Tutorial for you!!What do you say my friends....?
