M & M Christmas Poem Tags and Gift Box

My sister drafted me into doing a crafty project for her.  She found this printable Christmas poem and wanted them made into tags for gifting M & M candies.  I found this printable at ucreate.com.  Go here to find the pdf file to print: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/m-christmas-poem-free-printable/

Afer printing, I adhered to heavy white cardstock and trimmed.

Next, I used a hole punch in the corner and added some twine.  Of course, no project is complete 

without a little glitter!  I traced over the M & M title with my clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.

One more thing......scroll down......

Before I give these to my sister, I decided to create a cute little gift box.

I used my We R Memory Keepers score board/trimmer and just pulled

it all out of my head.  A score here and there, hole punches, some washi

tape on the inside seam.....before you know it, I had a pretty cute little

gift box.  I usually experiment, rather than go by a template or guide.  

I'm kind of stubborn that way.  And yes, I know you've heard me say that before!

One flower, 3 different looks

I've been working on a set of coordinating cards and thought I'd share with you today.  The stamps I'm using are Spellbinders Celebra'tions "Just Because" (with matching dies) and "Tape It" set, which are washi tape-like in design. 

You can see each card has a distinct look, but similar format.  I just finished with the gold, so I'll tell you a bit about what I did different.

I wanted to use one color and veer more towards a masculine design, or at least be a bit more gender neutral.  The ink is also Spellbinders, Golden Glow from the Celebra'tions collection.  I used the generation stamping technique, stamping once, then re-stamping without re-inking.  I did this multiple times with the circle stamps from the Just Because set.  It has 3 different size circles.  The flower from the same set was inked and then cut with a matching die using my Cuttlebug.  I then painted with Clearsnap Goldrush Smooch Glitz. 

The tag was stamped with the striped washi stamp using the Tape It set.  I then stamped the sentiment, from the Just Because set, and used my Wink of Stella clear brush over it so it would stand out more.  I think this is my favorite of the 3.  

Which one do you like the best?
