The paper pad that I used to decorate the box and the card was from Craft-Work cards 'Christmas Post' and its so lovely to work with too. After preparing everything needed, I distressed all the edges with Vintage Photo before adding my papers etc. I used a piece of Acetate on my box front so the six Yankee candles could be seen, the scent from these candles is wonderful, and they are called Christmas Memories. My poinsettia on the front is the two smallest SB die and I glittered them up a bit to suit the gold ribbon. I hope you like what I've done, the only drawback they do take time and lots of card and paper, but so worth it when finished I think anyway. Hopefully you are all keeping clear of this awful cold virus that's doing its rounds at the moment. I'm off to visit some of my favourite blogs now. Thank-you again for the lovely comments left on my blog, and everyone is appreciated... Hugs Rita xxxxx

What a fantastic gift, Rita! The card is beautiful and I love the idea of the box being part of the card. Your tag is beautiful too. The lucky person who receives this gets two gifts in one!

They're enchanting, Rita... the papers are lovely, and I just love the tag insert and gentle distressing. The little baubles are so sweet too. What a beautiful way to gift wrap a lovely present.

Oh wow Rita, both the outside and the inside look amazing! I love these tea light cards and yours is so pretty with these gorgeous papers. Love the idea of the tag pocket in the flap too. A stunning make!

What a beautiful gift Rita,just gorgeous.xxx
Rita, it is a rather ugly sight but I do believe I am sitting here with my mouth agap! This is astonishing not only in its beauty but the fact that you created this, from beginning to end without re-cycling a box. What a treat to open this and see a beautiful gift nestled inside and the pockets you created for the tag.
Whoever receives this will feel very special.
Wishes

Yankee Candles are some of my favorite, and I especially love the one you chose for your gift. This really is awesome and looks like it would take such a long time. The recipient is sure to know in what high regard they are held when they open the beautiful card, and the lovely box. You are a master at creating these gorgeous creations. Stay warm, thanks for your visit to my blog, and if there's ice about in your Scotland, do be careful. We're expecting some thunderstorms in So. Fla., but so far, just rumbles. TFS & many hugs
An utterly beautiful gift Rita. Those Yankee Candles must make it smell divine and you've definitely made them even more special. Jenny x
Very fun idea Rita, it sure turned out beautiful. What a wonderful gift idea.
