Gold Box using Glimmer and Wax seal

 

Hello!

 Welcome to my little crafting place!

This month the Spellbinders club kits will help you on the way with your Christmas crafting!  I'm concentrating on the Wax Seal of the Month today, but the Glimmer of the Month club will also feature - as I can't stop using it!

First, here's a quick photo of the seals I've made so far - not all perfect as you can see!  In the photo you'll also see the wax bead mix which is part of the club kit, and the seal itself - albeit upside down (oops!)

I recently 'upgraded' my melting spoons to these non-stick ones and they are a game changer! If you just let unused wax cool in them for a while, you can just lever the 'blob' out - like the green, white and gold blobs beside the spoon. So much easier than having to clean out the metal ones, and the wax blobs are easy to keep ready for next time

So, I thought I'd make a box to feature this seal on.  This box is made with a (very) old Spellbinders die set, but there are newer ones still available which would be perfect.  I just haven't got round to grabbing the die sets yet!  Plus these dies just don't go out of fashion, do they>

 

I'd already made some seals so I chose the red and gold one and made my box to match. I cut more ot the gold card for the decorative panels and foiled them with red foil and the Glimmer of the Month plate. 

I made a tassel from gold thread, added a length of red ribbon across the top of the box, then the wax seal and tassel and ribbon bow at the top.

 

Now I just need to buy someone a gift that will fit inside!
