Christmas Ribbon Boxes

One of my favorite things to stamp (besides cards) is the Ribbon box, like these: See how the ribbon goes around the outside to keep the lid together? Well, my mom really likes these boxes too and asked me to make some for her. Below are the pictures of three of the boxes, but they are still flat because I had to mail them. You have to use your imagination a little...
Snowman Nativity with Ornamental Snowflakes white embossed on kraft paper
the vellum behind the white scalloped square is embossed with a cuttlebug folder

Basic Grey from last year with gold embossed disc. TAC ornament and sentiment. I used a gold leaf pen around the embossed edge of the oval
Snowman with paper pieced scarf - Vintage TAC
Basic Grey paper from last year

I love them. Making these boxes really kicked me into Christmas mode. I know I won't be able to mail out handmade cards to everyone this year. Mostly we are just doing a family letter that includes pictures of all the kids. I did make a few cards for the volunteers that help teach RE and Sunday Morning Preschool and for my co-workers. I guess now you know who is really special- haha. I'll try to share those next time. I'm sure it will be Next Year though! Our Christmas will be VERY busy with lots of family and no time to post, sooooo
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Happy New Year!!!
