Stamping Sunday

Hello guys! Just a few more days left till Christmas!…. Are you ready? :)    I hope so. But, if you’re not quite there yet, here’s an inexpensive gift idea for you.   This little snow angel is a gift box that I altered to hold some snowflake shaped sugar cookies that the kids and I made. The nice thing about this type of box is that once the cookies are finished the recipient can keep the box as a Christmas decoration.

Here’s a before photo of the box, which was purchased from Hobby Lobby.  As you can see I removed the hat and added some wings.

I love the colors burgundy and green for Christmas, so I decided to mix a little of the Amber Road line with the Mistletoe & Co. on this.

Since it’s “Stamping Sunday” I pulled out my stamps for this project. The first stamping technique, is the pretty much the same one I used on my “Not so Scary” Halloween project. This time, I stamped out long  border strips, cut them out and then attached them to the edge of the jacket. To help the border curve around the jacket, I snipped the stamped border along the bottom edge before applying it.

The stars on the halo were stamped and then gold embossing power was applied to the images. I poured off the excess powder then used a heating gun to set the images. The stars were then cut out and adhered to the halo, a small piece of berry garland.

Here’s a picture of the box open.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Everyone!!!
