Had enough time this year to make one special project.... A matching box and card set...
Took many hours of sweat and toil to successfully pull this one off... but I think the results were pretty darn good... :) I deserve some cookies and milk for this...
The box...
It is constructed similarly to the hard box in a previous post but this one had a cut-out element of a christmas tree to enhance its plain appearance....


As for the card.... This is definitely a multi element card .....
The front has an embossed stylised snowflake design with hand written greetings....

I used opaque white emboss to bring out the details of the stamped design....

Inside was a pop-up christmas tree which was really a pain to construct.... It took make tedious hours of cutting, assembly and attachments to get it to look like that... there is also a cut-out detailing on the based for the added dimension....

How it works...

In full view...

Many sleepless nites went into this.... Good? What's your thots?
Love it! I have to try an "outline" tree like this.
