Christmas Photo Gift Box

We had our first Stamp Club meeting today, and the girls wanted to do this box.  We got the idea from the Idea Book & Catalog, but went with a sturdy, paper mache box instead of making one out of cardstock. 

This is my box lid - everyone's was different, depending on which square of designer papers they had left.  Some had the white poinsettias, some had the red ones, one used the bells - they all turned out beautifully!

We used a lot of different accessories, and everyone's was just a little bit different.

Stamps:  Delightful Decorations

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake textured, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Deck the Halls designer series papers

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke

Other:  Ornament/Designer Label/Curly Label/5-petal flower/ 3/4"/ 1"/ 1/8"/ 1/16" punches,  Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, Cherry Cobbler & Always Artichoke seam binding, Glimmer Brads Basics, Antique brads, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, bone folder (to curl up the edges of the flowers to make poinsettias)....I think that's it.  Oh yeah - and Sticky Strip.  You need a strong tape to attach the cardstock to the box lid and bottom.  Those paper mache boxes don't want to adhere to mono-adhesive very well.
