CKC host Jo (Jo Blogs) has Vicki Ruta (The Craftacular Creator) as her elf this month. I've met Vicki online via Craft Roulette - she has made several appearances on the show & often creates with Lawn Fawn products. Since Die Cut Divas has Lawn Fawn as our sponsor this month (November Critter Challenge) & Vicki loves Lawn Fawn, I'm mainly using Lawn Fawn here.

I die cut the box card from plaid paper and assembled. I added some stitched hillside strips to the spacer panels & plaid layers (cut from a different plaid) to the scalloped panels. Next I added die cut snowflakes from two Lawn Fawn sets & a sentiment from the stash. The "Merry" is a Spellbinders die cut. The "Christmas" was trimmed off a Betterpressed strip; I rounded the edges & shaded it with a BG000 Copic.

Next I stamped, die cut and colored the scene elements. Adhered them to the hills. It looked a bit bare to the back so I decided to die cut some of the trees from Neenah white and leave them unstamped. I adhered them directly to the back of the box. Originally I didn't plan on having the snowballs in the scene but I had glued my penguins with gifts too far to the right. The snowball stack filled in the space perfectly. I used the trio of stars die in the box card set to cut stars for the stamped trees & added snowy Stickles.

Here are a couple more views - top and flat. For the flat view I held the front & right side panels down. When you let them fold up over the scene, it fits perfectly into an A2 envelope.

That's it for today. I'll also share at Darnell's NBUS Challenge #80 since my critters are newly used & at Merry Little Christmas #65 where Anything Goes Christmas. I'm also playing at the We Love Stamping November Challenge where they're doing Anything Christmas (along with Anything Goes option).

Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!
