First, I painted over the green with a burgundy. I then cut out some letters with my Cricut to use as a stencil and I stencilled on the letters (why 'candy canes' you ask.... no reason... just wanted it to seem like an old crate that candy canes were packaged in at the North Pole...hehehe). Then I distressed it a bit, you can see some of the green poking through. Inside the package is some Homemade Hazelnut Hot Chocolate mix, some mini marshmallows, a jar of candy canes, some homemade dipped pretzel rods, some gourmet milk chocolate squares and some wrapped cinnamon sticks. Of course I have some little PTI tags... I love the look of them as a nice little addition. I have to admit... I LOVE the look of this and kind of want to keep it for myself!
This is for the Simon Says challenge - yesteryear; Critter Sketch - anything goes; I did it creations - anything goes; The City Crafter challenge - Vintage Christmas; Papertake Weekly - anything goes
