Snowman gift box

I made this cute snowman gift box with a digi image called Catching Snowflakes #21304 from the QKR Stampede store. I opened the snowman digi image in Silhouette Studio DE software, did mirror right to flip it.  Then opened the gift box (Silhouette cut file #69938), aligned the snowman image with the circle, grouped the pieces, turned on registration marks, then printed it and cut out all the other pieces with my Cameo.  Colored the snowman with Copics.  Printed the Merry Christmas saying and cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Christmas Wishes


I need to make a lot of holiday cards by the end of the month, so it looks like I won't have time to color images for most of them.  I need this group to be quick and easy designs.  I recently bought a paper pack called North Pole by Kaisercraft and in the package was a page of scrapbook die cuts.  I thought I could use up those die cuts to make some fast holiday cards.
