M & M Christmas Poem Tags and Gift Box

My sister drafted me into doing a crafty project for her.  She found this printable Christmas poem and wanted them made into tags for gifting M & M candies.  I found this printable at ucreate.com.  Go here to find the pdf file to print: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/m-christmas-poem-free-printable/

Afer printing, I adhered to heavy white cardstock and trimmed.

Next, I used a hole punch in the corner and added some twine.  Of course, no project is complete 

without a little glitter!  I traced over the M & M title with my clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.

One more thing......scroll down......

Before I give these to my sister, I decided to create a cute little gift box.

I used my We R Memory Keepers score board/trimmer and just pulled

it all out of my head.  A score here and there, hole punches, some washi

tape on the inside seam.....before you know it, I had a pretty cute little

gift box.  I usually experiment, rather than go by a template or guide.  

I'm kind of stubborn that way.  And yes, I know you've heard me say that before!

Over-sized Shaker card

This cute shaker card was made from the plastic packaging from an embossing folder.  Some crafters make shaker cards look so easy but for me, I tend to struggle with it.  Totally not my thing!  But I really wanted to give this a shot.  I think it turned out alright.  What do you think?
