Christmas Shadow Box Card or Gift Box






This is a Shadow box card or gift box.  It is a technique that I learned at Irina Blount's workshop and on Camillas blog.  I had so much fun making the Halloween theme that I decided to make a Christmas theme.  There are so many possibilities.

Halloween Treat Bag Front Back and Sides



The treat bag is a small paper bag from Michaels (there are 12 in a package).  I used Tim Holtz dies and stamps.  The distressing colors are gathered twigs, spiced marmalade, and black soot.  The bag is folded in up about two thirds of the way and score tape on the side to make a small pocket for the lollipops. There is another pocket in the back. I made 12 for my grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. Inside there are lollipops, gummy bears, candy bar, peppermint patty, and toy.  In some, I put a small color book and a toy in place of candy bar, plus lollipops.  Some of the children are allergic to corn syrup and nuts. The lollipops are Yummy Earth Organic Fruit Lollipops and Annies Organic gummy bears.
