12 Sundays of Christmas - Week 06

-

 On the 6th Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me... an ornament treat holder. Can't you just imagine seeing these all over the tree when your kids or grandkids gather around?



Consumable Supplies/Measurements (full list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post)
  • Real Red cardstock (8" x 5-1/4", scrap)
  • Painted Christmas DSP (eight 1-5/8" squares
  • Snowy White Velvet Sheets (scrap) - optional
  • Vanilla and Gold Satin Edged Ribbon (15-16")
Directions (refer to the diagram below for Steps 1-4)
  1. Beginning with the long edge against your base ruler, score at 1/2", 2-1/4", 4", 5-3/4", and 7-1/2".
  2. Turn and score at 1-3/4" and 3-1/2".
  3. Remove the four small rectangles that are in the corners of the cardstock.
  4. Adhere the DSP squares to all but the four corner squares of the cardstock (refer to diagram).
  5. Cut the remaining score lines that are on the long edges just up to the first score line they meet. Do this on both long edges.
  6. Burnish the score lines.
  7. Apply a thin layer of glue to the un-DSPed squares and adhere them to the DSPed square adjacent (on the long edge) to them.
  8. Fold back along the middle score line, and cut from the middle score line to the opposite side of the square you are working on. You'll do this for all four squares. It's important to get a clean, straight line, so you may want to use a ruler and pencil to give yourself the right path to cut.
  9. For the two small flaps that will come together, punch two holes for the ribbon to pass through. You may also cut the corners of each a bit to give it a softer look. Note that if you want your corners rounded, you have to do that BEFORE you start forming the box.
  10. Thread ribbon through and create a loop on the back side, then tie a bow on the front side. Trim ends.
  11. Punch or die cut a 1" circle (or 1" square) from Real Red scrap and adhere to the center of the box with a dimensional.
  12. Handwrite recipient's name. Alternatively, you can die cut an initial from Snowy White Velvet using the Playful Alphabet dies and adhere to the Real Red circle.

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 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.
