Kinkade Christmas Box

I've been saving some packaging from Target's Archer Farms line because I loved the unique shape! You know you're a seriously addicted paper crafter when you start saving food boxes. (insert rolling eyes) This week's CHF Chick's challenge was to make a Holiday Gift. I love packaging my gifts in creative ways & this box gave me my inspiration. :)

I took the box apart and used it as a template to cut my cardstock. After layering on some Cosmo Cricket paper & a Kinkade image that I colored... this box was totally transformed! To open the box, simply untie the ribbon!

I wanted to show you a close up of this image, but my camera is just not able to pick up the details. It's actually much clearer in person & soooo sparkley! I used Glossy Accents to cover the pond & it's so shiny and slick. (you're going to have to trust me on this one) :)
