This week, Karla asked us to make a Christmas ornament. I thought on this a long time. This wasn't an easy theme for me this week! But, I did what I know and do best - I alter things! I started out with a bangle jewelry box. I covered it with a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock. I then ran a couple pieces of Copper Foil Sheets and the Blizzard Thinlits Die through the Big Shot. I carefully extracted the snowflake pieces and set them aside. I cut the die cut sheet into the size of the box and adhered it over the Merry Merlot. After that was done, I adhered a piece of the Merry Merlot and Copper ribbon to the outside of the box. I also used a few other pieces to make the hanging piece and bow.
I took the punched out snowflakes and layered them. I had small copper brads, so used them to hold the pieces together. I then randomly placed them on the front of the box, using dimensionals. You can't tell, but I sometimes used 2 or 3 dimensionals, stacked on top of each other, to give the snowflakes different heights.
It's a bit much, but it's done! I can't wait to see how it looks on my tree this year :) Thanks for looking and please check out the other SISer's ornaments

Have a wonderful day and a wonderful holiday season!
