Day 3 - Dec WMS Sneak Peaks - Open Me First!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Sneak Peeks!  Today we are working with a wonderful set called Ornate Ornaments - and boy!!!  are they ever ornate!!  Check out this lovely detail!

I used the largest ornate ornament in the set which includes 4 beautiful ornaments, 10 sentiments, and a snowflake piece that you can use to make an ornate snowflake!  The ornaments can be hand cut or they also fit the Spellbinder 2010, 2011 and 2012 Heirloom Ornaments!  This large ornament fits the Heirloom Ornaments 2010

I love boxes, and I always need some for those little gifts given at Christmas. So today I made this lovely Angle Top Label Box - It's a freebie Template in the WMS Shop designed by Claire!  This beautiful ornament fits wonderfully on the top of this pretty box. This box would fit a roll of cash, a gift card, jewelry, or some sweet treats!

 When I stamped the ornament -  I stamped it twice, die cut them both and layered them together to create one ornament stamped on the front and back.  I adhered the ornament to the box with just two foam dots so that it could be easily removed and the ornament could be hung up if desired.  Here's a pic of the back with the foam dots on it.

When I made my box - I used two purple top pieces cut with Labels 16 Nestabilities layered together - but before I adhered them together - I placed tinsel string from front to back between the layers.  I brought the tinsel string on the back down under the bottom so it could be tied in the front to hold it closed.  I also layered a smaller Labels 16 die cut in gold over the top and bottom piece.  Here's a pic.

and here's how it looks from the back when it's tied in the front.

 

The box base is a 2 1/2" square.  This shows the tinsel string tied in a bow in front.

 I dry embossed the side gold panels with the Square Lattice Embossing folder by SU, then wrapped a sheer gold ribbon around them.  This box works up in a snap so you could easily make several of them!

We'll all be back tomorrow for a DT Blog Waltz as we celebrate the new release - and all of the stamps we've been previewing will be available to purchase!  Whoo hoo!!  Which ones are YOUR favorite??  Woodgrain Backgrounder, My Heart, Woodenheart Alphabet, or Ornate Ornaments???

The waltz will begin at 2 pm EST tomorrow - to allow Claire time to reset the store with the new sets.

Now I'm off to see what the other DT ladies have created with these beautiful Ornate Ornaments!!  Are you coming with me???
