Make My Monday challenge week 26

This week's challenge from the ladies at the Make my Monday Challenge is to make a decorated box in a Christmas style.
I have made this box which was inspired from a tutorial onYou Tube at http://www.wunsaponatime.com/. Please excuse the quality of the photo, it is quite difficult this time of year to get any natural light. These would look good on your Christmas table . Itwould look even better if there were some chocolates inside.

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
