Chocolategifts

WARNING: LOTS of pictures - and hopefully not so much text ;)

This is my last entry in Hjertebodens Julebloggs challenge of makeng 3 christmascards each month - I've managed the whole year now! And I'm NOT tired of making christmascards AT ALL! I still have many creative ideas to find time to...
I have made three giftboxes with a chocolatebar inside.
I made the boxes of Kraft cardstock, then decorated them with panels cut out of Papirdesigns "Vintertid" with norwegian santas drawn by Kjell Midthun.
I think these papers are absolutely fantastic! In an ordinary bookshop I bought some cards and tags with the same images to have even more possibilities with these papers.
(I've even seen mugs with these santas and little figures of them...)
All edges, both on the box and on the panels are distressed, but that is pretty much all I've done with it - the papers and images are so beautiful itself I feel I don't have to do much with them - almost feel a little afraid to run them through the cutter...
The "lids" on the boxes have a magnet, to close properly.
On the backside I used a cutout from the paper, with lines on, where we can write a little greeting.

I'll try my luck in the following challenges with my chocolategiftboxes:

The next pictures show the boxes in front, opened and the backside, three pictures of each card, if you'd take the time to see :)

...if anyone still is with me, I can tell you that this is the gifts that we (the children and I) made to give to their teachers on the last day before the schoolholiday - but don't tell them, it's a secret ;)
