Decorating a box with tanjaak

Hello and happy sunday! Today I would like to show you how I have decorated a cardboard box I found from IKEA. These cute boxes where sold in sets of three and the one I am decorating here is the middle size (about 10x10x7,5cm). So let's get started!

You'll need:

 some pieces of cardstock (9,3x9,3cm and 8.9x8.9cm)

dp (8,5x8,5cm)

your image cut into a circle shape (I have used Henry Christmas Mouse) and corresponding scalloped circle cut out of cardstock

ink and a corner stamp + some accessory stamps (I've used snowflakes from WoJ's 2009 winter stamp kit)

distress ink

ribbon

self adhesive pearls

Magical Tag metal die

adhesive

...and the box of course

First go through all the edges with some distress ink.

Then stamp the edges with your corner stamp.

...and now add some snowflakes where you want to.

Next adhere your ribbon to the lid, place the ending into the middle of one side as next you'll cover it up with your tag.

Cut the Magical tag in two and adhere it to opposite sides of the lid. Now all you need to do is assemble the layers of cardstock and your ready coloured image and add some pearls as a finishing touch and your box is ready.

Here's my box finished and ready to be given to that special friend. I have to admit I bought several sets of these boxes so I guess a lot of my friends and family will be getting their Christmas presents in these boxes. You don´t really need much of a gift as these boxes are so cute, maybe hide some candy inside and your set to go!

Have fun!
