Print the images and labels you intend to use on cardboard. I made a table with sections 3.5 x 4.5 measure your boxes for measurements. I wanted a slight gap around the edges of my labels. (Animal images are stamps by 'Simon Says') You will need labels for the outer front, inner back (where you will write) and images for each layer of the inside picture. (stars, trees, animals and accessories will all need to be separate) IF you want to use an embellishment pen and embellishment powder on the image outline. Colour them in and cut them all out .

Using foam tape mount the front label on the space left on the front of the box. Using double sided tape NOT FOAM attach the writing section to the back of the inner box.

Cut out all the little animals, stars, trees, and accessories. Starting with the background ( trees) mount and layer up the image using and extra layer of foam tape as the image comes further forward. use a dab of glue on the back of the foam table that attaches to the box as the tape won't like to stick to the glitter. Add stars, pompom, ribbons, to decorate your image
