I’ve used my Sizzix Bigz XL Carry All box die (SZ656279) for this idea
![sizzix tool box 2 sizzix tool box 2](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_XoSZgECZC_k/TMCsxvNsAcI/AAAAAAAAJB4/Tj3v5PSiEfM/sizzix%20tool%20box%202_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800)
The die has quite a few parts, but is a doddle to put together

I decided it would be a lot easier to embellish the box while it was flat, so I added a snow scene, using white glitter paper and doodling a few snowflakes using a white gel pen for the sky.

The penguin embellishments are from this years Accessorize Christmas range (£1.75 per pack) to which I have added tiny googly eyes.

They are so cute!

Once all the twiddling and fiddling was done, I put the box together.

Adding just a few small, clear flat backed gems to the sky for a bit of bling.

I’m going to fill these boxes with either Cadbury Snow Bites or white bon bons to go with the snowy theme.
