This was a fabulous challenge. I had so much fun. We were to make these treat boxes originally done by Qbee - if you open them up, there's a little window to see what's inside. She even has a template here on SCS for you to download and print from. What a sweetheart.
I saved the 2 on 1 page template and printed them off on So Saffron paper. After cutting it out, I stamped one with the small swirl from Priceless and the other with the largest snowflake from Papertrey's Snowflake Serenade.
I secured the box together with Tacky Tape and the windows were punched out with the 1 1/4" square punch. I filled the window with the acetate sheets my Papertrey stamps came on - punched out with the super jumbo scalloped square punch. They're glued and taped in place.
The Priceless box has "priceless" stamped in Soft Sky on Vanilla layered on Soft Sky. The Papertrey box has a snowflake from Snowflake Serenade stamped in Soft Sky layered over a circle from Holiday Treats stamped in So Saffron. It is punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and layered on a Soft Sky SU! scalloped circle. A rhinestone brad is through the center and the scallops are paper pierced. The boxes are wrapped with a piece of Vanilla 1/4" grosgrain.
