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.

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."

Today's tutorial is a technique that has been around for some time.  I've been using this one for years with rubber stamps.  I think that it is always good to bring back old techniques as they can sometimes be pushed aside and forgotten.

Today rather than using rubber stamps I have used Impressabilities to create a textured background.

Instructions:

Step One:

Cut desired shape using your Spellbinder dies.
