Beautiful Baubles - Large Gift Box and Card

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a Gift Box and coordinating card I made for a friend's Christmas present :o)

I think if I remember right, that the box was about 6½" tall, 5" wide and 2⅝" deep.

I stamped the sentiment using the Stamparatus - firstly in Merry Merlot ink and then again straight over the top with Versamark. I then embossed it using Clear powder.

The Box opens at the top - which I added as a separate piece. I also created two side tabs. These help the lid to stay flat and closed.

I decorated the front of the card and the box in the same way, using the Detailed Baubles thinlits and the Sprig punch.

I used both Copper Foil and some of the Copper Glimmer from the Joyous Noel Glimmer pack - I love the mix of these two textures!

The background paper used is from the coordinating Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series paper pack.

Detailed Baubles - Gift Box

Today's project is this beautiful, very large Gift Box.

It measures 6½" square and is 4" tall. I wanted to cover the sides with the lovely stitched stripe paper from the same set, but sadly I didn't have quite enough left - so I kept the bottom of the box completely plain. The paper is from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series paper pack. Not Christmas paper, but I think it still works for the Holidays :o)

The base of the box was cut from our standard Night of Navy card but I had to use a 12" x 12" sheet to cut the lid.

The beautiful Silver Foil circular frame was cut using one of the Detailed Baubles thinlits dies. I cut the centre circle from Glimmer card.

The sentiment comes from the Warm Hearted hostess stamp set.  I stamped this using my Stamparatus with Night of Navy ink and then again over the top using Versamark ink. This was then embossed using Clear powder.

And ... this is what the box will hold - four large Christmas Tree Ornaments. My daughter is giving these to her friend as a gift.

I created dividers inside the box to stop the Baubles moving about. They are glass and very fragile, so I didn't want them breaking.

The dividers are half the height of the box. I have one going the full length and then two shorter ones dividing the sections into four.

Christmas Card - Using Beautiful Baubles - Video Tutorial

Today I'm sharing a Video Tutorial with you showing you how I created these cards.

I used some of the lovely papers from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper pack for the backgrounds.

The large Bauble was created using one of the coordinating dies from the Detailed Bauble thinlits set. I cut it from Gold Glimmer paper and backed it with a Gold Foil circle punched out using the 2¼" Circle punch.

The twine used for the tops of the Baubles is  from the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine pack. You get Very Vanilla as well as the Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow ... and it's beautifully soft, perfect for Bows! 

This second card is the one I create in the Video ....
