Not a Christmas card but a Christmas Treat Box !

I am still in a Christmassy mood but instead of a card this time I have decided to make a little treat box. I found the idea here. It's so easy and fun to make that I have already made two and started another one ! Here it is...



I made the box with the "Noel" paper pad from Papermania, added some flourishes - cut out with a Sizzix die - some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and made the "handle" with one of the Fancy Label dies from Spellbinder.
My little box will enter the challenges ""Christmas in July" with Fun with Shapes and More, Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge, Totally Gorjuss and Sweet Stampin Challenge, as well as the challenge "Anything but a Card" with Crafts 4 Eternity "Anything Goes" with I love Promarkers and "Free and Easy" with Allsorts. Happy Crafting !
