Christmas Star Shaker Card and Matching Gift Box

I held my Christmas in July card class yesterday and we all made my Christmas Star shaker card and as I still had all the supplies out on the table, I decided I would make a matching box to participate in the Case-ing the Catty Challenge #1 - Gift and Packaging and the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #117 Sequins.  I love Christmas time and it's so nice to get an early start in all the cards and goodies I make for family and friends.

Stamp Set: Be the Star, Petite Pairs
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack (available in the clearance rack ($11.95 reduced to $4.79)
Ink: Old Olive, Baked Brown Sugar
Accessories: Star Framelits, Gold Sequin Trim, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, 1/2" Circle Punch, Cellophane Bag, Kraft Gift Box




This was my inspiration for the gift box 
which is featured on page 10 of the Annual Catalogue.



My lovely Christmas Star Shaker Gift Box



Have a look inside the box, 
I used the star that I cut out of the lid and layered it onto a piece of cherry cobbler card stock.

Christmas in July...Star Shaker Card

Would you like to make this shaker card, come along to my Christmas in July card class on Saturday, 19 July at Woodside, you will make 4 different card designs including matching envelopes for $12 including a coffee and a piece of cake. This card was inspired by the talented Louise Sharp who I really love her work.

I have used the new Be the Star stamp set with the matching Star Framelits, I am loving that they are so versatile, I have ideas for a Christmas garland too, but that will have to wait until later, as it's time for me to get some dinner organised.
