This is my first design for Christmas Cards All Year Round January challenge which is 'anything goes' (Christmas, of course!). Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and we would love to see your entries.
I wanted to make my mum's Christmas present look a little bit special for her, so I altered a gold box by covering top and bottom with some sparkly wrapping paper. I made a simple matching tag, using some of the paper and also some poinsettias from Hobbycraft, adding a couple to the corner of the present, securing the box with some red stretch cord and a pull bow.
This is also for:
