A Gift Box encased in a frame

 




A Gift Box encased in a frame
This is a from a live tutorial Susan Tierney-Cockburn made a few years ago and one I loved making.
Adding DSP Christmas papers from my stash and chocolates as a small gift inside the boxes. The boxes pull out.
Poinsettia die designed by Susan was also used, coloured one with copic markers and the red one with oil pastels. [not as red as I would have liked]. Cut, coloured, shaped with speciality tools and placed in the corners. The pine cones are artificial from my stash.
One design I made a few years back with the same design I used here is the purple one
These are my makes over the last few days as the weather has only been good for ducks outside

Challenge:
A Cut Above anything goes with a die cut [poinsettia metal dies by Spellbinders]
Congratulations on their two year anniversary

Wow, this is spectacular Annie! The red/gold make for a traditional, festive feel to this box of chocolates. What a fantastic gift idea. The clusters of pine cones and branches are beautiful but the poinsettias steal the show! Thanks for sharing with the July Anniversary Challenge at A Cut Above. Happy to have you play along with us.

Two delightful projects, Annie - as a self confessed choca-holic I think they are marvellous
The ducks are enjoying the weather this side of 'the ditch' also...

Impressive craftsmanship shines through your framed gift boxes, and the way you combined Susan’s tutorial with your own touches makes each piece feel special. The Christmas DSP, the chocolates tucked inside, and the beautifully shaped poinsettias create such a polished presentation, and the mix of copic and pastel coloring gives the flowers lovely variation while the pine cones add a perfect finishing accent.
