Christmas Exploding Box #2 - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share my next Christmas exploding box I created!

2Crafty Products used:

Card word packs - Xmas

Christmas Lights Strands
Presents
Blitzen
Foliage Set 3

Crystal Snowflakes

For the outside of the box I layered some die squares & circles with the chipboard presents and some fussy cut Christmas images.

I always prep my chipboard with gesso then set about to alter them.  For the presents I painted them green then added some red glitter!  I love shiny things at Christmas!

The inside flaps I layered the painted and glitter chipboard - Foliage Set 3 and Crystal Snowflakes with some handmade poinsettias

I painted the Blitzen chipboard, added white glitter and a touch of gold around his antlers and nestled him with a few more poinsettias 

And for the box lid I layered the Christmas strands enhanced with more glitter with another larger poinsettia

Best Gift Ever - Laura Gilhuly

 Last year we were given some photos of my hubby when he was young!

I am having a lot of fun looking through these and planning projects!

"Best Gift Ever"

You can see my absolute joy on their faces how happy Jon and his brother were to receive this gift.  They are both grown men now with kids of their own and they still remember this day!

8" Christmas Trim

Presents

Christmas Coin Set

The title is perfect for this layout. 
 I wanted it to stand out from the busy background paper so I heat embossed it in a dark green!

The 8" Christmas Trim is so pretty and absolutely completed the layout

To achieve the look I wanted on the trim, presents and coins I sprayed with green
 and red mists in 2 shades of each then inked the outside with green ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by
