...a little glitter...and viola'...:)

A very 1st project ever...love my new Pazzles!

I picked what I thought would be the easiest Christmas box, and it was fairly easy, for a 1st cutter like me...! Wink

I added the glitter to the flap, after I glued the wrong side of the flap...luckily glitter is good for a multitude of ~oopsies~! Smile

)

I used a piece of 'foil' for the buckle, and forgot to chalk the belt...it would have helped it stand out...

(btw...the white flap part isn't exactly a mirror of itself...it only fits one way:))

I love the Glitter! No one would have known! The foil on the buckle is really pretty. What foil did you use! Awesome Job for first time!!!!!!

Thank you...it was fun to accomplish a 1st project...looking forward to many, many more! Smile

The foil, was a 'recycle' or re~purpose...the foil on the top of the plastic coffee canisters are sealed with a sturdy foil...I cut the rough rounded edges off to make a square, it cut really easy...it's about the same thickness as the Medium Cardstock, but could have probably used 1 extra pass to get the little points. It stuck very good to the mat, and glued good too.
(Folgers & Maxwell House have it for sure.)

Oh, and I didn't have rhinestones, so I embossed little black 'holes' with black embossing powder.
Thanks for the nice comments...:)
