Christmas Diorama Shadowbox by Shellye McDaniel<\/h2>\n

From the moment that I saw the Deep Square Matchbook Box, I knew that I wanted to make a light-up Christmas Diorama coupled with the sweet Christmas Magic Collection.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Christmas<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

To begin, I traced a battery-operated tea light onto the top (inside) of the box and cut out with a Xacto knife.  Next, I used the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/4″ <\/a>around the base of the light and inserted it into the hole.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Christmas<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

To cover the box, I used one of the red\/cream striped papers from the collection kit and adhered it with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/2″<\/a>. Make sure to create an opening in the front of the box.<\/p>\n

For the fun part, I cut apart matching journal cards and layered the cut-out portion to the full rendition with 3D Foam Squares White Mix<\/a>.  Two bottle-brush style trees were added to the inside with Adhesive Dots 3D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

When I want to turn on the light, I simply slide the box out and flip the switch!  Adorable in a child’s bedroom or end table and what a fun conversation piece! On my blog, I have a step-by-step tutorial so CLICK: Christmas Diorama Shadow Box Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wonderful Christmas Keepsake Box by Teri Burson<\/h2>\n

I created this lovely decorative box with compartments for storing your favorite keepsakes, craft supplies or jewelry.  The beautiful patterned papers from the Twelve Days of Christmas Collection were used to cover the Ivory Book Box.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderful<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I fussy cut some of the rose clusters and decorated with my Dual Tip Glue Pen<\/a> and crystal glitter.  I also added a chipboard button embellishment with burlap string, using the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix<\/a> for my button layers.<\/p>\n

All of my paper was trimmed and adhered with my E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand Refillable Dispenser<\/a> and inserted E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand Ultra Strong Refill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Wonderful<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Inside my box, I created a faux mirror, using the silver foil in the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit<\/a> and running it through my die cut machine with an oval-shaped die.  A sticker is adhered just below the mirror, popped up with a strip of Crafty Foam Tape Black<\/a> for added dimension.<\/p>\n

Additional glue from my Dual Tip Glue Pen<\/a> is used to edge my box, with gold glitter generously applied. The final accents to my decorative box are the Graphic 45 Antique Metal Door Pull, plus mini floral ribbon wrapped around my base.<\/p>\n
