Here's one of the little boxes I fixed up for the 2 people I nominated. I hope they like the contents.
The only stamp on the whole thing is the "Merry and Bright" from one of the retired AYC sets. Oh well, sometimes stamps are optional, right?
I had trouble the with sticky strip holding the ribbon so I ran some Crystal Effects along the area where the ribbon joins in the back - that stuff really holds!
You can't see it in this picture, but I used my Crop o Dial and punch holes in the "v" of each pointy tip at the bottom edges of the lid. I then wove the gingham ribbon though it and used the gingham to secure the striped ribbon bow.
