Here is a gift box I made using a JustRite Stamp box.  If you've been a fan of JustRite Stamps for awhile, you probably have a few of these boxes lying around.

Products Used:

Bazzill Basics Cardstock:

2-245E Phoenix

15-255G Tomato

Spellbinders:

S5-055 Layered Poinsettia

NEST-001 Nested Ovals

JustRite Stamps:

JB09925 Peace on Earth

Other Materials Used:

Micro Beads

Glossy Accents

Ribbon

White Pigment Ink

White Embossing Powder

Christine Re Printed Paper

White Paint

Tip:

When covering the box with paper you have to keep in mind that the lid is already a tight fit.  I covered the lid only and painted the base, sanding first before painting.

To add depth to the box and to stop the lid from covering the base completely, I inserted some foam tape inside the lid to make a lip and keep the lid sitting a little higher.

Spellbinders: 

S5-059 Ironwork Motifs

NEST-005  Nested Circles 

Other Materials Used: 

White glitter 

Spray adhesive 

Silver cord 

Plastic gem

Instructions:

Step One:

Cut out four large snowflake shapes, fold in half, unfold, fold again in half and unfold, then fold once on the diagonal.

Step Three:

Fold inwards on the diagonal fold so it forms a triangular shape, adhere each to a circle of cardstock, lining them up so the tips all meet in the middle. Adhere a plastic gem to the centre.

Tips:

 Repeat these steps and glue both together to form a 360 shape for your Christmas tree.

Try different colours and glitters or even gold and metallic paints.

You could cut the shapes from foil board or glitter papers and skip the glitter steps.

Today I have a card made using Ironwork Motifs. The large element works very well as a snowflake.

Here is a lovely idea for a framed layout. I love how the ornaments hang from the photo.

"One of my favourite things to do is make frames with my Nestabilities. I use two consecutive dies to cut a thin frame. I have stitched it to my layout here. Sometimes the die that's the next size up is just too big and would leave a border that's too wide. When that happens, I glue my shape to the next colour cardstock and carefully trim around it with scissors."

To create a lace border that goes the entire width of the page, I left one end of the spellbinder hanging out over the edge of the plate when cutting.  After the first cut I lined up the border and put it back through the Grand Calibur leaving the opposite end hanging out.  This is a great technique for extending the length of the the Spellbinder border dies.

Here is a lovely page in blue and white.

"This page uses just two colours and shows how versatile spellbinders can be in creating interesting shapes on a page. I have cut the navy on the diagonal into triangles which then fit through the Grand Calibar and allowed me to cut out random snowflakes."
