Christmas Decorations

Hi Blogfriends, I have been making this little house for a dear friend though I found it rather difficult to part with it and might end up making another.
The wooden money box house was from The MDF Man and I used a variety of dies and card, Lavinia stamps, Gesso, Artist Spackle, a text stencil, a Martha Stewart Icicle punch, some white acrylic paint, stickles glue a decorative star and bow.

I started by stencilling the text using the Artist Spackle and then covered the whole house with Gesso.
While this was drying I cut out the dies and then stamped the snowflakes onto the house.

 

This is the finished box showing the house and tree die by Memory Box which was added next and the fir needle branches were placed along the bottom.

I then added the rest of the die cut shapes and finshed off with the stickles glue, the birds, ribbon and the star.

 

The round things inside are chocolate snowballs.

 

These photographs show the sides and back of the box.

 

Hope you liked this?

Back soon,
