Craft Consortium, Winter Woodland, Deer Gift Box

Just a quick post today!

I love making gift bags, tags and boxes - I really do. 
So when I saw this "oh so very pretty" deer topper on the Premium Paper Pad double front cover of Craft Consortium's 'Winter Woodland' collection I knew exactly what I was going to make...
A gift box!!!

It's a very simple idea using a craft box die, one birch tree die, some raffia, ribbon, sequins, gems...   and of course some of those gorgeous papers and the deer topper itself - along with some Pearl Glue.

It really doesn't sound like a lot, does it?
But put it all together and you get this...





As always, I've turned the deer topper upside down, drawn around it a few times and then cut and glued the 'cut outs' into place behind the topper for extra strength.  I also love the way this helps the image to 'pop' off the page a little... 

...  and I've cut around double the amount of those pretty red flowers that you can see, cutting into some of them more than others before layering them up and adding the Rhinestone Gems. 

As for the Pearl Glue?
If you look very closely, you should see that each flower sequin has a tiny drop of it in its centre...  and if you carry on looking closely you should also catch just a hint of it all around the edge.

    1. Lol... it's a box front. Made the box from double thickness papers from this new range. Used spray adhesive - love this stuff!
      I'll amend the post to make it crystal clear... thanks for the heads up!

  4. That deer... yes, she is so very dear! Looks very much like the Altenew one that is silhouette. Really love the speckled coloring on your darling one... do your deer look like this? Ours are pretty, but very plain. Wonderful gift, Donna!

    1. I've checked online for you, Michele!
      In the U.K. there are six different types of deer (who knew)? This pretty patterned one's undoubtedly inspired by the Fallow Deer. If you get the time you should do a quick search online. You'll see for yourself just how pretty they really are. X
      Sending hugs of thanks to you, lovely, xxx. 🤗
