Cuttlebug Challenge 3

I popped over to the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog earlier just to see what the challenge was this week and I got carried away and have finished my item already!

This weeks challenge has been set by Trudi and is 'to create something other than a card or to alter an item using your embossing folders'.

I'd already decided that I am going to make little Christmas gift boxes which will either contain hand made choccies or biscuits so I've been saving little cartons and boxes to be decorated. I thought this was the ideal opportunity to make a start on these and this is what I've come up with. There are 3 different views so hopefully you can get an idea of what the whole tin looks like.

I've used a small cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss a sheet of metal and have then cut this out and stuck it in the top of my tin.

Other items used are:

Paper from Dovecraft 'Christmas Traditional' pack

Skittle-de-doo Sizzix Alphabet

Penny Black 'Xmas Kisses' stamp water coloured with pencils

Green ribbon from 'Anitas'

And of course a custard tin!

I wonder if I'll be the first to post my creation on the cuttlebug blog??!!

Post soon
