Challenges by AR-Holiday Fun

With the holidays fast approaching, everyone’s mind is turning to gifts and festive home decor. So, our theme for the latest challenge at Challenges by AR is to create a 3D project with a holiday theme.

I used Adela’s Golden Nugget Box template to make this pretty little seasonal package. The template is cut from light blue cardstock. I made the belly band from turquoise cardstock and covered it with a coordinating snowflake patterned paper.

The box is decorated with some turquoise satin ribbon and a pretty felt snowflake that I cut using a CutUps die from The Cat’s Pajamas. For a little sparkle, I attached blue crystals to the snowflake. It’s set on the box with a button at its center. I stamped the “merry wishes” sentiment from the TCP Merry Wishes set on a turquoise oval in turquoise ink and attached that to the box.

To join the challenge, all you need to do is create a shaped card or 3-d item with a holiday theme and link it to the challenge post on the Challenges by AR blog. One lucky participant will receive a template of their choice from Creations by AR.
