N for Not A Card, DT project for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Hello crafters, ABC Christmas Challenge here trying to save
the summer with a brand new challenge for you.

The weather here at my place is definitely great for crafting-
better than sunbathing and swimming!

But hopefully the summer will come. Those of you having fine
summer weather, please send some of it my way.


Wilma is hosting this challenge and
today's letter is N and the theme is


N for not a card.


I'm so looking forwards to be seeing your
creations for this challenge.

If you are in need of some inspiration, please take
a look here and see what my talented teamies have made.

Stamp Fairy is one of our sponsors and has kindly
given the team some images to use for this challenge.

I decorated a round box, using papers from Maja Design
and Clementine Winter from Stamp Fairy.

Darling Clementine is painted with Distress Reinkers,
and there's a lot of Stickles on the snow.

She is cut out because I wanted to emboss
the white background with a almost
new snowflake folder from Cuttlebug.

For once I have distressed the edges on the papers.

The original box was wooden colour, so first I painted it white.

The red ribbon fit perfect for the edge of the lid.
The text says 'Happy Christmas'.
I guess you could translate it yourself.

Please bear over with me, I'm showing you a lot of
photos today, of the box from different angles,
but I really love how it turned out.

The beautiful swirl snowflake border is made with a
die from Memory Box. It was a bit difficult
to cut it out, but with a bit of patience I did manage.

The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and the round
one in the bottom of the box saying 'Best wishes for a happy
Christmas and a happy new year' is from Unik Stempel Design.

I had to find a place for my usual 'Handmade by' stamp.

We have to sponsors for this challenge.
