Alternative wrapping..

Hi, Carol with you today, sharing with you a different way to wrap your presents…

For this post I have used two empty containers that I salvaged from make up freebies - the boxes were painted with some dylusions white paint - the containers I used here are very fragile and to add too much paint wouldn't allow the lid to close and would also be too heavy - so a very light brushing of paint with a dry brush was used on this occasion - I then stamped with distress ink and added a faint covering of creative expressions gilding wax, I applied this with a small piece of cut and dry, and added it to the edges of my box…





The top was decorated by cutting out the poinsettia die and a swirl die from some white cardstock, a piece of bling was added to the middle of the poinsettia….some smaller flowers and embellishments were also added…




These smaller boxes were made in the same way (excuse the photography on the smaller box, the light isn't helping!) - the poinsettia die is so versatile, by using different layers you can change the size, therefore, making it suitable for all sized projects… the same swirl was added and a few sparkles.

These are great Carol. That die is certainly proving to be very versatile. Merry Christmas x
