I made my grand daughters Christmas crackers in which we would put some money for them to spend after Christmas, however I thought that my grand sons would prefer something a little more manly. I have made them little tool boxes which could be hung on the tree. They are printed using a My Craft Studio Papercraft Library CD ROM. I then used tattered lace dies to cut out the letters for the names.
I used a Spellbinders holiday tree die to cut the core'dinations trees for the tags. These were matted onto white card which had been inked with distress ink. The Father Christmas stamp was from a Creative Stamping magazine and I coloured them using Promarkers and added glitter to the fur on the hats and coats. These were shaped slightlly before attaching them to the tag with glue gel. Two silver snowflakes were then added to each. The tags were attached to the tool boxes by tinsel.
I would like to enter these into the following challenges:
