A happy mail arrived today from Neat and Tangled that I ordered on Black Friday. And I just cannot wait to make something with the Box – Nice and Neat Die. This die is fresh out of the padded envelope and straight to my Evolution Advanced diecutting machine 🙂
I diecut the box out of Kraft cardstock and it is very easy to put it together (and fun!) Danielle showed how to create the box in a video here.
The background papers are from Old Hymnal Book and one of CTMH retired Christmas paper packet, Sparkle and Shine. I added some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress ink on the edges. I finished the card with wrapping it with White Ribbon Twine from American Crafts and a Star wood chip from Frackled Fawn.
A simple card for a joyful giving this Christmas.
So, do you give giftcards or prefer actual gift for Christmas?
Thanks for visiting today and have wonderful day!

Thanks for visiting, Monica 🙂
Oh my goodness this is just too cute! Much better than just giving a plain ol’ gift card!
Thanks Becca 😀 It is way joyful this say, right?
A beautiful holiday card and great gift card holder idea all-in-one Helen! I think the box might be able to fit those hong bao (red envelopes) in that we Asian love to give and received for the holiday! 😉 BTW, I have a special holiday freebie that I would like for you to grab over my post. A tree, aka “Tree of Kindness.” It’s only available until Dec 11th. Hope you can stop by. Wishing you a lovely weekend Helen.
Hugs, Christina
Thank You, Christina. That Hung Bao idea is great! I will try it 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing the freebie! I’ll check your blog.
