Merry Christmas

Hi everyone! just checking in to share a little project I made today

for the TSTR.  The theme this week is

'Sweet Shabby Christmas'

and it has the most gorgeous inspiration photo!!!

 

they are sooo me, I could have these 3 little darlings on my bedside table to wake up every 

Christmas morning in a shabby, pastel, sweet mood!

adorable....

So you know how much pink inspires me and if it also need some glitter and shimmer

the happier I am!

I decided to cut the new Spellbinders Christmas tree in a satin pink cardstock

and then trim it like there's no tomorrow.

I also used Tim Holtz banner die to stamp and emboss in silver my Christmas sentiment

I just love how shabby it looks, of course some distress inking makes it stand out.

 

here's a closer look of how the front opens up!

Since the final piece of my tree made it so special

I decided to make it into a box.

Using My scoreboard I made a giant matchbox to open from the front.

I used a Melissa Frances tinsel trim for my pull knot.
It's home to a fantastic inspirational book:
"Everyday Comfort"
spiritual reflections for women

 

The box was made out of shimmer cardstock in pink, layered with glitter cardstock in a silver hue

and then topped with the card base in white.
Now if they made some mercury glass so Icould trim my paper tree...

 

I hope you have enjoyed my creation

as much as I did creating it!!!

 

Hugs
