You never know what you're going to find on sale just before Christmas and lucky for me I found these kraft colored doilies at Michael's and they were the perfect size to cover the front of some more of my recycled cheesebox projects. I first used my circle cutter to cut a circle of red cs and then adhered the doily over it. Then, using a Martha Stewart punch and some Gumball Green cs I punched out the branches for the wreath. After I glued them on, I took some red liquid paper and added dots to the branches for berries. The bow on this one was made from some red and white baker's twine and I added a few punched stars in gold foil and gold glitter paper.
Inside of these I put a watercolored image from the SU set Beauty of the Season and added my chopped paper "snow" to the inside seam.
On the outside of the box I added some vintage ribbon that I came across at a flea market in September. I knew when I saw it that I would use it at Christmas time, but I was thrilled that it was the perfect width for these boxes.
I made three of these for gifts and each one was just a little different from the rest. Since HWNSNBP liked them so much I think I have to get busy this week and do one up for us. I've got a few more boxes stashed away!
