Today’s project is an Essential Oil Shadow Box featuring the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set!

This shadow box looks like a “normal” gift box from the outside, but the inside is a shadow box that holds a 15ml bottle of essential oil!

If you are looking for a shadow box to hold a 5ml bottle, check out my tutorial HERE. Here’s a closer look at the decorated box:

I love how you can still see the “Thinking of You at Christmas” sentiment through the Sheer Ribbon! And here’s a closer look at the shadow box with the 15ml bottle of essential oil:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal-to-go feast just the 4 of us (actually several feasts – LOL!) and video chatted with family!
