Winter Wishes


K Andrew Designs


For my project I made a snowman and snowwoman winter wonderland shaker box that doubles as a gift holder!
The paper is from My Mind's Eye. The box was cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and I used my Gypsy to fit it to the mat. I also removed the square window and replaced it with a circle from George and Basic Shapes. I used the same circle, copied it and made the second a little bigger to make the frame around the window. I curved "Winter" and "wonderland" from Winter Wishes to fit around the frame, and then I attached the frame with foam tape. The "snow" on the inside is MS carrara marble glitter. The snowflakes are a MS punch and I added the pearls.
Once you remove the ribbon, the box opens to reveal two snowpeople ornaments resting on a bed of white felt!
I cut the snowpeople at 5" for the ornaments. I cut one shadow in cardboard, then attached another shadow with foam tape to give them some strength. I attached fishing line between the shadows to hang the ornaments. Frosty Kisses from the Winter Wishes stamp set finished them off. This was a fun project and I will definitely be making more to give as gifts :)

I have BLOG CANDY!! I am giving away a K Andrew Designs Winged Things stamp set!
 
All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is:
  1. Be a follower of my blog
  2. Leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about Winter (and a way to contact you)
That's it! Easy peasy! I will announce the winner on Wednesday, November 23rd. There is still time to enter my blog candy giveaway from the Fantabulous Cricut Harvest Blog Crawl! Click HERE to enter before Sunday, November 20.

Now you can hop on over to your next stop: the super-fabulous and super-awesome Janis of Pause, Dream, Enjoy!......

Hi Lisa,
LOVE ,OVE LOVE your project. This is so clever and cute. I love shaker cards. But to turn it into a gift box, WOW, a fabulous idea!!
The best thing about winter to me is that it is not humid, the air is crisp, my hair does not frizz and hopefully there will be snow!!

This is so cute Lisa! I love the shaker card/box and the snow people are adorable! Hmm, my favorite thing about winter... I love the snow but I don't like to drive in it so that can't be my favorite thing... I like winter clothes! Sounds funny probably, but I love big bulky sweaters and warm fluffy socks :)

Lisa, you are so amazing! This has to be one of my favorites! This is just so awesome! I love the shaker idea and the paper you chose is perfect! Those adorable ornaments inside will look fabulous hanging on someones tree! My favorite thing about winter is hands down the smell of fireplaces in the air.

You don't make things easy for me, do you? Winter and I are old enemies, so naming one thing I like about it is brutal! lol! :) Well, if I must choose something, I would say I like those cold, cozy days where I can curl up in front of the fireplace with a warm coffee and a good book. :)

Love your shaker card, and those ornaments are GORGEOUS! I may have to lift that idea from you. :)

That is so cute! My favorite thing about winter is when it is snowing outside and I can stay inside drinking hot chocolate :)

smyiow said...

As usual your card is fabulous! You do such amazing work! Of course I am already a follower, and my favorite thing about winter is heavy snow fall days with nothing to do. I hate it however when I have lots of snow and have to drive!

So cute Lisa! I personally hate winter (living in MN will do that to you) but I do love Christmas and all the family time.

Cards and Crafts by Sheree said...

Beautiful project Lisa! I have not had the nerve to try to make a shaker card. You make it look so easy! I love the idea of using glitter for snow! My favorite thing about winter is somewhat different...it gives me the chance to make soup! Split pea and ham soup, beef vegetable soup, potato soup with cheese and bacon in it...I am getting hungry!

You know what's funny? Randomly I realized today that I forgot to tell you last night my favorite thing about winter! Ha! You made me forget as I fawned over your sweet snowy shaker. ;) My favorite thing is admiring all of the Christmas lights beneath a blanket of snow, then heading home and sharing hot cocoa and a cupcake with my sweetheart. :o)

Hugs and blessings! :o)

Absolutely LOVE Your projects!!! Your gift box is too cute and your ornaments are absolutely ADORABLE!!! :-)

My favorite thing about winter is snow (not goin out in it) but being stuck in the house all day while having the curtains opened getting to watch the beautiful snow falling while sipping hot cocoa and relaxing in the warm heat :-) Since moving down South I don't get to enjoy that all that often, but when it does happen it's just BEAUTIFUL!!!

TFS! -Samantha :-)
