Gift Box and Gift (updated with more pictures)

All the paper used in this project is from the For the Record Collection by Echo Park, except for the cupcake/ornament holder which is cut from a piece of scrap cardstock.

 

The ornament is decorated with leftover cuts from the box. I shortened the sides of the cupcake holder so the ornament sat lower in the box.

Cricut Cuts:

• Gift Box Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge (lower section made from  Lace Stripes, and the lid from Table Cloth).
• "Ribbon" around the lid made from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake cartridge borders welded together (Newsprint).
• Button Stars from Gypsy Wanderings (twine from Papertrey Ink)
• Flower Handle, made from George &amp Basic Shapes, three flowers cut and glued together to make a handle.

Cuttlebug Card

Cuttlebug Folders: Plaid (Inked on the debossed side) and snowflakes (on the snowflakes)
Cricut Cuts: Snowflakes: Snowflakes from Gypsy Wanderings and Reindeer from Very Merry Tags.
Scrap and Stickles.

Hip to be Square

The challenge was to scraplift something from the Circle Blog. My personal challenge was to do it without going out lol. The project I chose was Kristen Swain's Snowman made with round paper mache boxes. I didn't have any of those so I made some square boxes out of kraft cardstock. I spritzed it with Tattered Angels Marshmallow Glimmermist, which got clogged in the middle so I poured it into a mini-mister and spritzed the rest Easy Peasy. I used Cosmo Cricket Material Girl Calico paper to make a scarf.

I cut the face out from the Snow Friends cart and covered the eyes and nose with Stickles. The snowflakes are from Gypsy Wanderings.
