12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Latte 12 weeks Header

I have some exciting news for you.  Over the next couple of months.  I will be bringing you ’12 weeks of Christmas’.  I have teamed with some other creative ladies in our team to bring you some exciting projects to help you in your Christmas preparations.  Each week I will share a project with you that either myself or one of the other clever ladies have made.  Today is the first project!

Today’s project is brought to you by Leonie Schroder.  Here is the project and then I will tell you about it.

W1-StarBoxStack

Leonie has created a Star Box Stack.  This stack comprises three Star Gift Boxes all tied up with the gorgeous Silver Satin Ribbon and star frame tags from our Foil Cardstock. These would be great to give to someone if you were giving them small things like jewellery or chocolates, Or maybe use it as a Table Centre piece or Decoration.  These could be made any time of the year for any occasion.

Do you want to know how to make it???  Here is a video for you.

We have a special bundle put together to create your own Star Box Stack.

TAG BOX TUTORIAL!

Yesterday I showed you the projects I made for the Stamp-A-Latte Blog Hop using the Snowflake Thinlets.  If you missed it just head back to the post before.  I didn’t have time in that post to show you how I made the Tag Box so I thought I would show you that today.

Here is the cute box to show you again.

P1140518

Here is inside the box showing the tags I made too.  The green strip of DSP from the Nordic Noel DSP is not a Belly Band.  I just added it to the top of the acetate and adhered the ends inside the lid.

P1140519

You can decorate this however you want to.  The finished size is 9cm x 9cm x 2cm (3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3/4″). But how did I make it?? Here is the Tutorial for you.

TAG BOX

For the Base

NB: If you intend to stamp your box then do so before you assemble the box!!

Cut your card to 13cm x 13cm ( 5 1/8″ x 5 1/8″).  Score on each side at 2cm (3/4″).  

Fold on all score lines and cut up the 2 tabs on one side and again on the opposite side.

P1140461

Place adhesive on the small tabs and assemble the box.

For the Lid

Cut your Acetate to 13.4cm x 13.4cm (5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″) and score at 2.2cm (7/8″). 

Fold on all the score lines.  You may want to use the Bone Folder to burnish (press down) the score lines more.

Cut up on the 2 tabs on one side and then again on the opposite side.  Place adhesive on the tabs and adhere together.  I used Fast Fuse or you could use Sticky Strip.

This lid is a little snug.  You just need to jiggle it in but it works fine.

Decorate your box as you like.  I lined the base of this box.  The paper size I used was 8.5cm x 8.5cm (3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″).

These fit the tags in just nicely.  The tags are punched with the 1 3/4″ circle punch.

Don’t just think of them for tags though.  Why not add some chocolates???

Enjoy making them. 🙂

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER BOX!

I have had this idea in my head for a while now so I had to just do it!!  I wanted to create a little box using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

P1110831

I have used the Sale-A-Bration ‘Sweet Sorbet’ DSP.  I know Sale-A-Bration is done with BUT I HAD TO USE IT!!!  I used the new Spiral Flower Die that has just come in to my possession.  I am having fun with that little die 🙂  I have seen the twine loops around the blogosphere and wanted to have a go with making them.  It was a bit tricky at first as I didn’t know what I was doing but I think I worked it out in the end.  The leaves are from the 2-step Bird Punch.

I wanted to share the Tutorial with you to make your own little box (AND it is in Metric AND Imperial)

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER BOX

Metric

Card – 29.5cm x 21cm.

Along the long side score at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm and 28cm.

Along  the short side, score at 7cm and 14cm.

DSP for wrapper – 3.5cm x 29.5cm.

 

Imperial     (Finished size for this one will be slightly taller than the Metric box. There is a photo below showing the difference in size).

Card  – 8 ½” x 11”.

Along the long side score at 2 ½”, 5”, 7 ½” and 10”.  (Trim ½” off on the small tab section so there is not so much excess to adhere down).

Along the short side, score at 2 ½” x 6”.

DSP for wrapper – 1 ¼” x 11”.

 

DIRECTIONS TO ASSEMBLE THE BOX FOR BOTH METRIC AND IMPERIAL.

1. After you have cut your card to size and scored it. Cut off the small tabs, one at the top and one at the bottom leaving the middle section.

P1110821

2. Punch out each tab on the long side using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.  To do this slide the first scored section into the Punch.  You will need to wiggle it gently in under the punch.  Centre it in the punchI line up the card section between the rectangle on the top of the punch and then punch.

P1110826

 

3. Gently slide the card along to the next scored section.  Line it up in the same way and punch out again.  Repeat this for the next 2 sections. Trim off the excess card between each punched section.

4. Cut up each score line at the bottom until it meets the horizontal score line.

5. Fold on each of the score lines. Fold over the top Scalloped section and adhere down with Sticky Strip.

P1110828

 

6. Add Sticky Strip to the small tab at the side on the right side of the card.

7. Assemble by folding the scored lines in to form a box shape and adhere together onto the side tab.

8. Add Sticky Strip to the bottom tabs and adhere down.

9. Adhere the Wrapper around the box and decorate as you would like.

I made another version using DSP (Sweet Sorbet again!).  This one was using the Imperial measurements.

P1110839

This is slightly larger than the Metric version.  You can see them in the photo together below.

Enjoy making your own.  🙂

A NEW DESIGNER TOTE BAG!!

I have been wanting to create another Tote Bag for a long time but I haven’t had a chance – until now!  The ‘Large Tote Bag’ has been my most popular post over the last 2 years but I wanted to freshen it up.  Here is my new Tote.  Below I will share all the details for you.

P1110771

Here are a few other views. 

I have used the lovely Venetian Romance DSP and Baked Brown Sugar Cardstock.  I added the Soft Suede Candy Dots to the tabs.  They match in so well I think.  I added a flower to the top to hide the join.  I will tell you about that below.  The greeting is from ‘World Treasures’.  I coloured the words with markers (Baked Brown Sugar and Crisp Canteloupe) and cut around the inside of the border.  I cut a piece from Baked Brown Sugar with the Apothecary Framelits and layered this under the greeting and then cut another in Crisp Canteloupe and cut this one in half to layer underneath.

Let’s move on with ‘HOW TO MAKE THE TOTE BAG’ 

The original post for the Tote Bag with step-by-step instructions is HERE.  These are in metric.

** Edited to add: I have since updated that post to have Imperial measurements as well.

If you would like the tutorial emailed to you then drop me a comment.  

Let me tell you the modifications.

1. Omit the card strip for along the bottom edge.  Punch 2 circles in Baked Brown Sugar with the 2 1/2″ circle punch. Cut them in half.  You then have 4 pieces.  Fold each one in half and then adhere these to the corners of your bag.

2. For your handle, Omit the 2 card strips and the steps to prepare your handle.

Cut 2 pieces 3.5cm x 25cm (1 3/8″x10″). Join the 2 strips.  Adhere the handle to each end of the bag.  I used Sticky Strip for strength.  Cut small tabs to add to your handles.  Cut 2 pieces 4cm x 3cm (1 5/8″ x 1 3/8″).  Round the corners on the bottom edge.  Adhere these to the ends of your bag.  Add the Candy Dots or Brads for decoration. (If you are using Brads then place them on your tabs before you add the tabs to your bag).

3.  For your Bag Closure: Cut your card 5cm x 16cm ( 2″x 6 1/4″).  Punch one end out with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.  Adhere the other end to the back of your Tote Bag.  Gently bend the closure over and mark the point on the front.  Place a Brad on the front to that will hold your closure.  I used a Candy Dot on a Brad.

4.  To cover the join in the handle I added a punch flower.  I punched out 3 flowers using the Pansy Punch and curled them a little.  Join these together by overlapping a little and adding Sticky Strip.  Add a small flower punched from the Boho Blossoms punch.  Adhere a large Adhesive Pearl to the middle.

I hope you like this version.  I hope you can go and make a Tote Bag yourself.  I hope the instructions are clear.  If you have any problems then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Have a great day. 🙂

SO MUCH FUN WITH THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!

Two posts in one day but I can’t help it.  I am having so much fun with the Envelope Punch Board that I JUST HAVE to show you what I just made with it.  There are lots of fun little treat holders in the blogosphere if you look around.   I came across this cute little one yesterday and had to make it today.  Check it out!
P1100541

For my box I used black cardstock and wrapped around some ‘Modern Medley’ DSP.  The “For You” tag was stamped from ‘Chalk Talk’.  I die cut a Melon Mambo label from the Chalk Talk Framelits and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The box measures 12.5cm x 3cm.

I found this cute box on Pinterest and went to the blog.  You can find the tutorial for it here on Jen’s blog.  This was for a chocolate treat holder.  I am not sure if our size chocolate bars fit in this.  I will have to investigate that one.  After I finished this box I searched out some ideas around the house for some little gifts that will fit in it.  It does fit the ‘Summer Roll’ bar and fits 6 mini Hershey Chocolate bars.  For the young girls it will fit 2 little eye liner or lip gloss sticks.  I think you could find some other low-fat ideas for this little box.

So have you got your Envelope Punch Board yet??? You have to have one you know.  Contact me if you need to order one and haven’t yet got yourself a Local Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

Maybe I should try and make some envelopes with it now!!! LOL

CHOCOLATE TREE!!

Ok, one more Christmas creation before New Year.  I just really wanted to show you this one. I found the tutorial for these recently on Brenda’s blog here.  It is really clever. Just after I saw this I found the Kisses and Mini Hershey bars at a local discount store.  I was so excited because they are really hard to come by here and YAY! now I could make them!!

Here is my Chocolate Tree.

Here is a view from the top.

P1070496

Do you like it? Once you get the folding right for the triangles in the middle they are really easy.  They would make a really nice gift to give at Christmas.  A bit late for this year but maybe file the idea away for next year!!!

Wishing you a Very Happy 2013.  Stay safe as you celebrate.  I want you all to be healthy and well for another year of creating and sharing.

See you next year!

FOLDED PAPER CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT

Did you enjoy the Christmas boxes I shared with you last week?  I hope it might have inspired you.  If you missed them just head back to the previous posts.  I showed a different box each day for a week.  Today I want to show you a Christmas Ornament I recently made.

P1070261

I quite like all the curls on this.  I found the idea originally on Pinterest.  The directions for making this can be found here.  (Just a note: It is in Chinese but it has photos and is fairly easy to work out).

This was made with the “Be of Good Cheer” DSP. I added some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and Lace to finish it off.  I have been debating whether it needs a Christmas sentiment but I didn’t want to hide the curls.  Maybe a little one down the bottom???

I hope your plans for Christmas are coming together well.  Most of the presents here are wrapped.  A couple of things I ordered On-line still haven’t arrived, so I think I will be making some ‘IOU’ tags.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

BOX WEEK – BOX #6

Here we are in Box Week at Box #6.  These boxes are getting bigger now!

P1070306

I found the template for this box on Becky’s 12 Days of Christmas 2009 edition.  You can find the details here.  This was the Bow Box in the collection.  If you scroll down the blog and look in the Right Hand column you can see the 2009 projects there.  You can purchase the Tutorial there too.

My box was created in Cherry Cobbler.  The frame on the front was stamped using “Memorable Moments” and then cut with the Labels Framelits.  The greeting is from “More Merry Messages”.  A little Candy Cane stamped from “Scentsational Season” and cut with the Holiday Framelits finishes the front.

Here is the top view.

P1070309-1

The top was cut in Gumball Green and DSP strips (from “Be of Good Cheer DSP pack”) were adhered to the edges and top.  I cut 2 snowflakes with the Snow Flurry Die in Silver Glimmer Paper and Very Vanilla.  These were layered together.  The Cherry Cobbler circle in the centre was punched out using one of the small circles on the Owl Punch.  An adhesive pearl finished off the centre.  I cut a piece of the Cherry Cobbler Tulle and gathered that together and wrapped some thread around the centre to hold it all in place.  Once all the layers were adhered together they were fixed in place on top of the box with Dimensionals.  This box stands at 10.5cm or about 4 1/4″ tall.

Thanks for looking today.  We have our last box for our Box Week tomorrow so be sure to stop by.

BOX WEEK – BOX #5

I have made a lot of these boxes over the last couple of years.  I found the idea here when I first made them.   This is made from the Scallop Envelope Die.  I added a Christmas touch to this one.

P1070284-1

P1070288

Once again I added my little mate from “No Peeking” like on yesterday’s box.  He was coloured with markers and added on the greeting panel cut from the Apothecary Framelits.  The DSP is from the “Be of Good Cheer”.  Mmm this DSP is featuring a lot on these boxes!

Another cute box to fill with some little treats.

Come and visit me again tomorrow for Day 6.  I think these boxes are getting bigger as we go through the week. 🙂

BOX WEEK – BOX #4

Have you been enjoying the different boxes this week? I hope so.  Today I have another box for you.

This one is made using the Fancy Favor box.

P1070283

This is another easy box.  I have wrapped a strip of the “Be of Good Cheer” DSP around the box and then ran some of the Gumball Green Satin Stitched ribbon around the DSP.  The greeting panel was cut from Very Vanilla Card using the Apothecary Framelits.  I pierced an edge around this with the Piercing Pack.  The greeting is stamped in Gumball Green and is from the “More Merry Messages” set.  The cute little penguin dude is from “No Peeking” and coloured with the markers.  I love that little guy! I added some Rhinestones just for Bling factor.

Here is the side view.

P1070424

All you need to do is add some chocolates in a cello bag or add a little gift and you are done.  It wouldn’t take long to whip up a few boxes like these.

We are over half way through the week now.  Stop by again tomorrow for Day 5 of Boxes.
