Once dry I added white snow hill to the bottom of the panel. I used the Merry Christmas from the SugarPea Designs Oh So Jolly Sentiments Stamp Set and stamped it directly onto the panel. I used the SugarPea Designs Hey Winter Stamp Set for all my images. I stamped them, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. I arranged all the images on the card and fixed them in place with foam pads. To finish I added a few pearls to the sky.

Doodlebug Shadow Boxes

Hi crafty peeps! Today I thought I would share some sweet boxes that I made using Doodlebug Designs Collections that were featured in Crafts Beautiful. These are actually little shadow boxes that you can use as Christmas tree decorations or just little hanging decs. I love how cute all Doodlebug products are...

I then die cut a window in the front of each box using Time For Tea Designs Square Label Dies, Circle Dies and MFT Square Dies. I used Doodlebug Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Petite Prints Papers and coordinating card to create the box, outer and inner panels. I punched a hole in the top and added a ribbon handle. I added glitter card inside each panel to create a snow effect. I decorated the inside and outside of the boxes with Doodlebug Icon Stickers & Mini Stickers.

I used the new Tall Alpha Stamp Set to spell out the word 'Family'. I used the 'Memories' word & 'Location Symbol' from the Creating Memories Stamp Set. I used the Memory Keeping Essential Dies to create the 'Lol' word & heart shapes. You can view all the products from the latest collection here.
