Small Gift Boxes

For the table on Christmas day I like to add a little handmade gift box to each place setting, containing some chocolate mints and a lotto ticket .  Here are samples of the ones I have made this year , the box is cut using my Silhouette machine and I have decorated with die cuts and stamped poinsettias. They are white and blue for the boys.

And red and white for the girls, I have also added name tags and some bells although you cant see the red ones on Fran's in the photo :0( .

 I had fun with these but now I need to get on and put up some decorations !!

I am adding these to the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says "Gift It".

Stencils!

Virginia's second challenge is underway and this time its to use stencils,  I have a couple of new stencils but have found it quite a challenge to use them, I can't really get the look right.  Never mind, I have made this one card for the challenge, I am not sure I am truly happy with it but its a start!!  I will also add it to the Simon Says Birthday Challenge.

I am happy with this card, my friend is going to a wedding this week and asked me to make a card for her, I decided to have another play with my Silhouette machine and came up with this simple white design.

Have a great week.
