4th Sunday of Christmas

-
On the 4th Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me...a cute, little, skinny bag! This bag is made from just a 6" x 6" square of DSP and will hole a few small candies, lip balm or even jewelry items. What's better, just by tying the bow a little differently, you can create a loop to hang it on a Christmas tree!



Measurements for consumable items (complete list of supplies at the bottom of the post)
  • Painted Christmas DSP (6" x 6")
  • Soft Succulent layer (1" x 3-3/4")
  • Evening Evergreen scrap (large enough to fit all four letters of NOEL)
  • Foam Adhesive Sheet (slightly smaller than Evening Evergreen scrap)
  • Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (12-18", depending on bow size and if you want to hang it from a tree)

Template indicating Steps 1-2 of Directions



Directions
  1. Score at 1/2", 1-1/2", 3-1/4" and 4-1/4" on one side, rotate and score at 1" on adjacent side (this will be the bottom of the box).
  2. Remove the 1/2" x 1" rectangle in the corner, as shown, and cut along the other three 1" score marks to form the bottom flaps of the bag.
  3. With the right side (outside) of the DSP facing down, add strips of Tear and Tape to the two longer bottom flaps on the wrong (inside) sides.
  4. Still with the right side (outside) of the DSP facing down, fold the 1/2" tab to the inside and add Tear and Tape.
  5. Remove adhesive backing from the 1/2" tab and fold DSP along the middle score line so that the 1/2" tab adheres to the opposite side of the bag. It should line up beautifully if you've scored correctly.
  6. Pinch the tops of the narrow sides of the bag together and insert into the tag punch as far as it will go, making sure the bag is centered in the punch left to right. Punch.
  7. Adhere Soft Succulent layer to the front of the bag.
  8. Adhere the foam adhesive piece to the back of the Evening Evergreen scrap and die cut the letters NOEL.
  9. Remove adhesive backing from the letters and adhere to Soft Succulent layer.
  10. Open bag up and form the bottom of the bag by removing the adhesive backings, folding the two smaller flaps in first, then folding in each of the larger flaps. Insert a bone folder or eraser end of a pencil into the bag to help secure the flaps to one another and create a well-adhered bag bottom.
  11. Insert gift into bag, then slip the ribbon through the tag holes and tie a bow. Create a loop in the ribbon first if you'd like to hang from a tree.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
