Reindeer Pillowbox

Just stopping by to show you this cute pillow box I created using a file from Treasure Box Designs.

The reindeer was a freebie file that was in Treasure Box Design's weekly newsletter a few weeks ago. The freebies are a great way to try your hand at doing paper piecing if you are a beginner and are wanting to try it out.

I cut out all of the pieces and then chalked them to add dimension. I also added a few highlights here and there using my white gel pen and my black Pentel Slicci (0.25 mm) I love that pen. I can get the tiniest lash lines with it. I order them by the dozen through Amazon, as during my classes they somehow keep disappearing~lol.

I ran the white mat and the pink bow through my Swiss Dots embossing folder, using my Big Shot. I then added the whole piecing to my pillow box. It will be perfect to hold a small treat or gift to give for Christmas.
