Ornament Gift Box

 I always laugh when I hear the term "Summer Vacation" because Summer is anything, but a vacation for me. Between traveling, teaching at a summer program for Gifted Kids and CHA, Summer is my busiest season. You may notice fewer posts on the blog, but I'll try to make up for it with really good projects :)

This little Christmas treat box was super easy to make, and I think it came out so cute. A small ornament would fit inside, a gift card or even a cookie or two. I like to make Christmas cards and gifts all year long so the holidays are not so overwhelming.

Life's a Circus Gift Box

Epiphany Crafts and Vintage Street Market teamed up in a fun product exchange. This Circus Tent gift box was my project showcasing VSM papers and the Epiphany Crafts tools. I recycled an oatmeal container for the base and made a removable lid with my Cricut.

Be sure to visit Epiphany Crafts on Facebook here to see the great projects produced by the other DT members and Vintage Street Market's blog for what their gals did with Epiphany Crafts tools.
