This was a quick and easy project for a cute Christmas gift box. I had a bunch of cardboard containers that a friend and I picked up at a crafters yard sale earlier this year.
She scored a black bag full of boxes of various shapes and sizes for just $5…. and I am sure we have all seen them at the craft store and know just 1 box costs more than that usually. She had so many because they were stacked inside each other too, that she kindly split the bag with me.
I colored this image last week and couldn’t decide what I wanted to use it on… till now.
I popped it on some foam pad, covered the container with a sheet of 12×12 and then decorated the lid with black ribbon and some random holiday wreath parts.
Great project to do with your kids for candy, cookies and other fun Christmas gifts.

Pens and markers: Chameleon Pens and color tops NU0 “Sand”, NU00 “Nude”, YO2 “Mello Yellow”, YO3 “Warm Sunset”, BR3 “Cinnamon”, GR2 “Dark Sage” and YG3 “Spring Meadow”. I used Chameleon detailer & colorless blender pens for extra detailing. Finished off with Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll and Glossy accents for a touch of subtle bling and 3D texture
