5 Challenges in 1 and another look at the boxes

The theme at Secret Crafter this week is '4 Seasons'. You can use all 4 or choose 1. I've made these WINTERY boxes using my latest purchase of the XL Box die. I told you to expect more of these didn't I!!! They are designed with my little cousins in mind and what they'd like too and so they also match Allsort's 'For a Child' challenge this week. They will obviously be filled with sweeties for the children before they are handed to them.

The Snowman one is made using a black textured base and navy SU card. The all the stamps and white ink are from Elzybells. The snowflakes and Snowman means that the box fits in with Cupcake Craft Challenge's theme of 'Snow Much Fun'.

Here's a close up of the Snowman. Being a Snowman (and a Robin in the next one), I think these boxes qualify for Charisma Cardz's 'Merry and Bright' theme.

Here's another variation using red and brown. The sentiment that come with this Elzybells set are great and match the images perfectly. It's been really well thought out. I bought a similar stamp from Elzybells before they were an online store which had the robin with messages around the outside but now that the clear set has been released, it can be mixed and matched with other saying and images - how cool is that!

Rather than using ribbon as an opener as I have done in the past, I've used my SU Tab Punch to cut a curve out of the side piece to make it easier to open.

Being as these are little gifts, they also fit into One Stop Crafts theme.
