Allsorts week #335 Christmas

Hello to all you lovely people.
Today, as you know, is Saturday which means a new challenge at Allsorts *woohooo*
The theme this week has been chosen by Susan and is 'Christmas'.
I hope to see lots of you joining in for this one :)
Here is my card for this theme.
Had to tone down the frills and whatnot as this card is for a male who isn't into the frills and fancies.
The dies used are Elegant Alpha by Tattered lace and the glitter ribbon is from Docrafts.

Merry Christmas Card Box

Good morning everyone.

This creation was originally supposed to be my post for Stamping Sensations

Guest Designer spot due to winning their June challenge (wooohooo go me)

HOWEVER dummy that I am created this and it wasn't until I had taken

the photos that I suddenly noticed it wouldn't be any good.

Why? Because Stamping Sensations as the name suggests is a

stamping blog *doh* I had been so excited to use my prize of the

Tonic Studios full set of  Pretoria Duo dies that I completely

 forgot to use a stamp *slaps head*.

For anyone who would like to try the Card box the tutorial

can be found here on youtube.

The papers are from my Christmas stash, I cut and inked all the

edges using a sponge and Promarkers Forest green and pear green.

I assembled the box as per the tutorial and then added my matted

paper layers.

Added all the die cuts and poinsettia corsage and lots and lots of

fine gold glitter dust.

Inside the box I have just added some sweets I had for the photo

but these will be removed and chocolate added when I give it as a gift :)

Dies used ..
