Global Design Project #GDP167 | Theme Challenge

Hello friends! I hope you are having a fabulous day! The sun is out here in Melbourne and I've spent some time in the crafting corner to try and get through my list of things I have to create before Christmas. I may or may not have gotten a little distracted with this weeks challenge over at the Global Design Project #GDP167 and thought I would join in and play along.

This weeks challenge is the theme : 'Tis the Season. Anything for the Christmas season. I've made a party favour that I plan to put on the table on Christmas Day, when my in-laws and my husbands family come around for lunch. They will also act as a place setting as well. It's nice to put in the little extra touches to make the table look extra special on Christmas Day. I plan to fill the pillow boxes with a little treat that each guest can take home as well. Lucky there will only be 16 of us in total on Christmas Day for lunch. I wont have to make too many. Phew!

I've started with the Kraft Pillow Boxes. These gorgeous pillow boxes come pre-printed and are the perfect size, being 12.7cm x 7 cm, for for gifts and goodies. How cute do they look as place settings?

All the DSP used comes from the Dashing Along DSP pack. I love the old style newsprint mixed with the other patterns. The DSP circle was punched out with the 2-1/4" Circle Punch and then the Gold Foil Circle was die cut with the Layering Circle Dies. For some added texture I embossed the Gold Foil Circle with the Corrugated Dynamic Embossing Folder. Jut run the gold foil through the Big Shot with the Corrugated folder just once otherwise you will crack the circle and it will tear apart.

To finish off the pillow box I die cut the jumping deer from the Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies. How festive does the deer look die cut with the Gold Glimmer? So sparkly and pretty! I'm such a sucker for the gorgeous sparklyness (if that is a word. HA!) of the Gold Glimmer.  Pretty! 5 made, 11 to go!
