G45 The Twelve Days of Christmas Layouts in a 12 x 12 matchbox

Wish you all a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season  :-)

Made this layouts to go in the 12 x 12 matchbox for a dear friend.

Had so fun working with this beautiful 12 Days of Christmas collection from Graphic 45.

Only used the 12 x 12 papers and because of the layering I for the most used 3 of each.

It is build up on medium weight chipboard and there is on side on the front and one on the back of the chipboard. All is distressed with white paint dabber and  White Pan Pastel. All the fussy cut outs are covered with Claudine Hellmuth Multi Matte

Decorated a 12 x 12 matchbox to store them in and it also create a frame around the layouts.
It can also be fun to make one LO each year and decorate the front with some more new papers for every new Christmas collection.

Here is the matchbox without the drawer. Decorated with a lot of fussy cut flowers,cheese cloth, seam binding . Magnolia die cut out lamp post and Marianne design umbrella die cut out.

Lot of layering here. On all the LO I cut out one frame with the flowers on the edge and one with  the plain frame. Layered with pop dots between each. Distressed all the edges with distress tool and scissor. Then I cut out some of the other left over flowers from the 2. frame and glued them on with pop dots.

 Sorry I don`t remember the brand of the lamp post
