When I saw this idea of Countdown to Christmas Boxes on page 12 of the Holiday Catalog, I knew that it was something that I wanted to make for my grandkids.
These are so easy to make because the boxes are ready to decorate. The stamp set 25 Days, Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Old Olive Cardstock, the 1-3/4 Circle Punch & Memento Black Ink are the only other things you need.
Here's a close up of a few of the boxws.
What would you fill these boxes with? I am on the hunt for little items for both boys and girls so if you have any suggestions please leave me a comment. I am almost as excited to fill them as I was to make them!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

The Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge by the talented Margaret Moody has me playing today.
Looking out my window, I have been seeing quite a few birds lately and decided why not use them for my inspiration today. Luckily, the stamp set Beauty of the Season works..
- After stamping the image twice with Memento Black Ink, I used both the Cherry Cobbler & the Neutral Blendabilities to color the bird and the tree. A touch of the Daffaodil Delight Blendabilities was used for the beak.
- One image was cut out with the Circle Framelit, colored with the Blendabilities and popped up with a double layer of Stampin' Dimensionals. Notice how it lines up with the base image,
- Because this is a Christmas card, I matted the image on a thin layer of Gold Foil. It gives my card the richness that I had hoped it would. If you look closely, you cn see that I also used my Cherry Cobbler Marker to create some splatter.
- My sentiment – also from the Beauty of the Season, was stamped with Memento Black Ink and banner cut. A trio of Pearls provides an anchor for the banner.
- Of course, the banner is curled and edged with Cherry Cobbler Ink.
- Tying the inside to the outside of my card was accomplished by stamping a branch from the same stamp set in 2 corners, The branches were also colored with my Blendabilities.
- And, another sentiment was stamped on the inside of my card.

Sep 17, 2014 | Congratulations, Masculine |
This is the last card in my trio of congratulation cards for my fellow Pretty Pals who earned Founder's Circle. This one is for one of my good friends Brian King.
I picked the color palette of Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky, & Old Olive. I felt that this palette is regal and befitting the royalty of a "King" who has earned Founder's Circle.
- My card base is a standard sized Rich Razzlebery & it is embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
- The polka dot theme is continued with the piece of dsp from Sweet Taffy. It is mounted on a layer of Old Olive.
- The next layer is a piece of Old Olive cardstock that is embossed with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. I thought it fit for a Star performer! It is matted with a layer of Pool Party c.s.
- The next layer is the sentiment from Bravo stamped with Rich Razzleberry Ink on Whisper White c.s. This is matted on a layer of Old Olive cardstock. Check out the Rhinestone at the end of the exclamation point.Two banners peek out from the layer above. They are cut from Old Olive & Pool Party c.s.
- The star from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack was used to punch 3 Pool Party Stars. A Basic Rhinestone was placed in the center of a couple of these stars – reminds me of the jewels in a Kings' crown!
Rich Razzleberry is a beautiful color but it can be tough to photograph. My card did match better than it appears in this picture…..
