Tilda’s Christmas Gift Box


Good Evening Everyone, I wanted to show you my newest 2 Tilda’s, well it is new for me, I bought both in a sale and this is their first outing.  They are adorable!! I've coloured them with Pro markers. The full recipe for my card is below this post otherwise we could be here a long, long time. Lol






















My recipe:
Well where shell I start.  This gift box started its life been a kids shoe box.
I covered the box in white paper all over and then covered it in Gift Rap
I used a Martha Stewart Lace Punch and created a lace effect border with Silver Mirror card
I glued a Merry Christmas Silver and White ribbon onto the Silver Lace Mirror card border
I decorated all the sides of this box with deferent embellishments. 
I printed a Digi Sentiment that I layered on top of Red and Silver mirror card that I cut out with 2 different Spellbinder Nestabilities and glued it to the front and the back of the box
On the Left and Right ends of the box I added another layered topper with Red and Silver mirror card that I cut out with 2 different Spellbinder Nestabilities and added a White Rose I made from paper and added a red Ribbon
I covered the inside of the box as well
I decorated the inside of the lid with a Magnolia Tilda stamp that I coloured in with Promarkers then layered it on top of Red and Silver mirror card that I cut out with 2 different Spellbinder Nestabilities I also added another white handmade rose and some small red roses and holly leaves I punched out with a holly leave punch and added a double red ribbon. I also used the Magnolia Vintage Tag I cut out of Silver Mirror card.

I made all these white roses with a punch and finished them all off with Stickles for a bit of Christmas Glitz!
Last and not least I decorated the top of the lid.  I added my toppers to a layered Mirror card and wrapping paper that I punched the corners with a Martha Stewart Corner Punch.  Again with white handmade roses I made and green holly leaves and added small red roses.  I made 2 bows with white wired Organza ribbon and added a medium single rose in the middle of the bows.  I Stamped another Magnolia Tilda stamp and coloured her in with Promarkers. I Layered coloured Tilda on top of Red and Silver mirror card that I cut out with 2 different Spellbinder Nestabilities. 
I added white ribbon, added silver cored and finishes of with very thin red ribbon and glued it as a trim to the lid.

My recipe:
I had a lot of fun with this card.  I do like Vintage and Sepia and Pink Colours and make things look old and distressed
I made this an 8x8 to fit this lovely topper from my stash
I distressed all of the topper edges with my scissors rubbing it up and down and rubbed distressed ink on the edges
I tore the edge of the main card and tore another 3 strips and distressed the edges
I wrapped around the 3 strips apiece of ribbon and lace and added a single flower with twisted stem
I arranged flowers and added a bow to the top left
