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:
