Holiday Boxes for craft fair!

I am feeling "ok" and I have had a burst of creativity today!! And I am very excited with the results! Its been a good day so far! I hope the creativity continues!

These projects are really cute in person! I don't know where I bought the boxes. NO CLUE! they were in a box on my shelf. I am trying to use up stuff I have collected. All paper, stamps accessories are Stampin Up!

These boxes are going to be sold empty for others to put a gift or holiday goodies in. I used the idea from the tag Shellie showed at convention on box #1. Altho this isn't a tag it's just a decoration.

Techinques vary per box- 2 step stamping, embossing, sponging, direct to paper, paper distressing and others were used.

For the 3rd box- I used wire, flowers & beads from the pretties kit. The only box that has a "tag" is box #3 the holiday box with the flowers.

I may still make a tag for each of the other boxes, but now, its time for a break!

I am out of boxes like this- phew! The designer paper is 4" wide x 12" long and takes 2 strips to go around! So you can see the are NOT small boxes by any means. I have been working on these about 3 1/2 hours- give or take a few minutes. They will sell for at least $8.95 each at the craft fair.

Supplies include,

Designer papers: Apple Cider,Cerise, Wintergreen

Inks: choc chip, really rust, certainly celery, silver, gold, real red, handsome hunter

Wide gross grain ribbon: real red, choc chip, certainly celery

Stamps Sets: Season of Joy, true friend, bronc buster, Baroque motiffs
