12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS TREATS: Olaf the Snowman Curvy Box...

Time for my Christmas Bunco, so I needed to come up with some Christmas treats for the ladies!  I went with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit.  I just love that die - so many fabulous options come to mind!  For this project, I decided to make this little snowman box and I filled him with Lindt Snowman Truffles.  My daughter says his face looks like Olaf from Frozen, so I'll go with it!  LOL  I went with a simple punch art design since I had to make 12 of these.  Later this week, I will share another Curvy Keepsake Box!

The snowman's eyes are made with the 1/2" Circle Punch and the large and medium circles on the Owl Builder Punch.  The mouth is also the medium circles on the Owl Builder Punch.  The nose is the wing from the Bird Builder punch, trimmed down just a bit and then outlined with the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.  The little tag die is one of three that comes with the Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits.  I had to emboss it with Iridescent Ice (Dazzling Diamond Dust technique) for a little sparkle!
