Holiday Hugs

I'm loving all the different makes for Power Poppy's 12 Days of Christmas and am trying to do a few at least. I've had a few gift boxes pinned for a while but just not made any yet, so this was the perfect excuse.  I always like to have a little something to hand for Christmas in case of unexpected visits.  
I have used part of the image 'Poinsettia and Pomegranates' to decorate the front panel. The box felt a little plain even after adding the twine and charm, so I used the leftover doily from making my gift card holders to decorate the top of the handle each side. 

Products used:

• Kraft card
• Doily
• Twine
• Candy Cane charm
• ProMarkers - Holly, Lush Green, Bright Green, Leaf Green, Shale, Burgundy, Cardinal & Ruby

I am entering my treat box into the following challenges:

2. Cupcake Inspirations - #435 Holiday
3. The Corrosive Challenge - #12 December Anything Goes

Gingerbread Gifts

Christmas makes always seem never-ending to me.  Just when I think I'm done, something else comes along!! 
This year money for holidays has been requested, so I thought it would be the perfect thing to use my new Power Poppy 'Gingerbread Family' images. I don't often give gift cards or money but when I do, I like to put them in something pretty. 
I've followed the instructions on the blog to make these and kept them simple. I love using Kraft card and thought the doilies were a perfect match to accent the gingerbread girl and boy. 

Product list:

• Kraft card
• Doilies
• Crafter's Companion clear stamp
• Memento ink - Tuxedo Black
• Sharpie pen - fine black
• ProMarkers - Burnt Sienna, Cocoa, Raw Sienna, Ginger, Black, Cool Grey 5, Crimson, Berry, Lipstick, Pine, Forest, Apple, Pumpkin, Gold & Tulip
• Sakura Gelly Roll - White
