Bauble and box

 Hi Everyone, today I have a bauble, box and a card I made for the youngest member of our family, Iris. It's her first Christmas. I have made one for each of her siblings in the past, mostly to remind them that they have part Welsh blood, their Grandmother, my niece, is Welsh, the children's parents are English and Scots.

I added the reindeer and the sentiment to the front shape for the card, then print and cut the shape. The gold mirror card was also cut into the same shape and layered under the reindeer layer. I had some bows in a little box, that had been cut a long time ago. I decided to add them to match the bow on the reindeer antler. The box was cut. Then paper was cut to size and added.

I bought some fillable baubles and also print and cut a Welsh girl with Nadolig Llawen, Welsh for Happy Christmas. I filled it with faux snow and hung the girl inside, next I cut Iris's name and the year, I used a bold font as her name is short and I wanted it to show up. Also added are snowflakes from permanent vinyl, adding them to the closed bauble. I hope she will like it, when she understands. Her siblings add theirs each year to the tree, which is lovely to think their parents help them to do it.

What a beautiful gift and so wonderful to have a reminder of her heritage. I make a Christmas tree decoration for my grandchildren every year and put their name and year on it. Sometimes I wish I hadn't started it because as the years go by it is becoming more of a chore! xx

I love this Faith!!! I love that you have made this heirloom so the kiddo's know they are part Welsh. I think it is a perfect gift for the new little ones. The little Welsh girl is so cute in the bauble. I also love your sweet box to house the bauble in. This family is lucky to have you in the family to make them such wonderful gifts. Hugs, Brenda
