MERRY LITTLE LABELS - BOXES #CHRISTMASPUNCH

I've been busy making lots of little boxes lately using the Merry Little Labels set and the matching punch.  #christmaspunch.  


The boxes are very simple to make and I've done a quick tutorial to show you how easy they are.  They can be left open at the top or closed as in the Christmas example below. 





 This example uses Crumb Cake as the base and stamped with leaves from Colourful Season and Jar of Love. The jar was cut out of the front using the Jar of Love Framelits and then stamped over it with the jar image.  The lid was added on an embellishment.  Clear Acetate has been put behind the jar and then you can fill it with all sorts of goodies - I've added some of our Sequin Assortment.

The leaf has been made with the Seasonal Layers Thinlets.  The tag has used the cut out of the jar and I've stamped one of the sentiments from Merry Little Labels on it and added some Linen Thread to the top.



 This is a slightly different example using Old Olive as the cardstock.  The leaf has been cut into the front.  I've used the same leaves from Colourful Seasons to stamp on the cardstock with Versamark.  A brad attached the label which has been punched out with the new matching punch - #christmaspunch.







 This is a Christmas version using Night of Navy and Silver Embossing Powder.  I've used the snowflakes from Colourful Seasons and a touch of Metallic Edge Ribbon in silver.  The Let It Snow is a perfect accompaniment and looks so lovely embossed in silver.







I'm adding my boxes into the following challenges:

SU Only challenge - which is asking us to use our favourite punches or dies

What a clever idea to stamp the greeting on the jar cut out. Great set of boxes, and so useful for the giving season. This is so so perfect for our shape up challenge. It's wonderful to see your project in our lineup for SUO CHallenges!! Thank you!!
