It's our last day of the My Creative Time 12 Days of Christmas! I hope you have been as inspired by all of the projects from Emma and the rest of the design team as I have been! For my final project, I used a super cute 3D Bookplate Box file by Lori Whitlock, which I purchased in the Silhouette Studio Store. My patterned paper was created by printing the music note pattern from the Cricut Imagine Vintage Papers cartridge on kraft cardstock. I love the soft effect this gives.
I embellished the box with some pretty grosgrain ribbon from Stampin' Up. The little tag was made with My Creative Time's Curly Label Die and Stitched Curly Label Die, stamped with a sentiment from All Around Christmas. I tied it to the ribbon with a wood veneer snowflake and some thick kraft hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.
One of the things I love about this box is the little bookplate! I personalized this for my sister, using letters from MCT's Just Simply Live. After the holidays, she can keep this little box on her desk to hold knickknacks. It's a pretty good size - 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"!
For now, the box is filled with Christmas tags. Every year, my sister holds a Christmas tea for all of the ladies in my family, and we usually exchange little gifts. I'll be giving everybody one of these boxes of tags. I have 45 tags made; now I just have to make 4 more boxes! If you need any tag ideas, I'll be posting lots more in the next week or so!
