It's that special time of year - again! How quickly Christmas rolls around.
Using Meg's latest Christmas collection, in delightful damask patterns and vintage tones, I created a treasure box to store all things Christmas in one convenient place.
Inspiration came from an old box I found during a spring clean up, previously the home to a jigsaw puzzle. A quick light sanding and it was primed and ready for a new release of life.
The front, back and spine are Meg's beautiful damask papers and embellishments, perfect for Christmas or any occasion when a touch of elegance is required.
A chipboard frame is the hero piece, painted gold with deep crackles adding to the aged vintage feel.
A fan of all things interactive, this box was not spared. Using another damask design, I created a pocket within the frame. Inside I have tucked a gift tag made from a Christmas Vintage Journal Card and embellished with beautiful elements from Meg's Garden.
Just like Cut & Create collections past, the Christmas pages are stunning. Detailed, intricate and beautifully vintage.
With ample room inside, uses for the treasure box are endless. I have chosen to fill it with Christmas cards, and will pop in ribbons and Art Tags ready for Santa and his elves!
The gold Christmas ribbon embellishment and Cut & Create images inspired the colour scheme for this card, proving that colours and styles other than traditional are just as merry.
Make sure you have a stroll through Meg's Garden and pick up all your Christmas card making supplies, for a very merry handmade Christmas!
Beautiful Julia,I especially love you crackled/ distressed chip board frame.fantastic idea!.
