On the SEVENTH Sunday of Christmas...

-

 On the seventh Sunday of Christmas, Sharon shared with me...a Christmas tree-shaped treat holder! And it's so adorable in pink. I'm pretty sure it's adorable in any color, though. I need to give a shout out to fellow demonstrator Brenda Quintana who had posted a larger version. I suppose I should give a shout out to God for giving me math and problem-solving skills so that I was able to resize it to a smaller version.


Measurements for Smaller Tree (fits about 6 Hershey Kisses)
  • Bubble Bath cardstock (5" x 5" piece for tree front and back), 1-1/2" x 8", 1-1/2" x 7-5/8")
  • Basic White cardstock (scrap for ornaments and star)
  • Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper (Berry Burst, 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" for garland and star)
  • Adhesive Sheet (slightly smaller than the Berry Burst Soft Shimmer paper)
Diagram for Sides



Directions
  1. Stamp tree in Fresh Freesia ink twice on the Bubble Bath square. Die cut.
  2. Stamp ornament trio once in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White scrap and again in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White scrap. Die cut ornaments as well as the detailed star (not stamped, just die cut).
  3. Apply Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Soft Shimmer rectangle and die cut garland and solid star.
  4. Decorate one of the stamped trees with the garland, then add the ornaments and star using glue.
  5. Beginning with the larger strip of Bubble Bath cardstock, score on the short side at 1-1/4". Rotate and score at 2", 4-7/8" and 7-3/4" on the long side. Cut notches/ends as shown in the diagram. Fold and burnish.
  6. On the shorter strip of Bubble Bath cardstock, score on the short side at 1-1/4". Rotate and score on the long side at 1-7/8", 4-5/8" and 7-3/8"). Cut notches/ends as shown in the diagram. Fold and burnish.
  7. Beginning with the longer strip (this gets attached to the decorated tree), join the ends with glue so that the 1/4" tab is on the inside of the triangle. Apply glue to the 1/4" folded portions of the side and adhere to the back of the decorated tree. Take the time to center as best you can. 
  8. Repeate Step 7 with the smaller strip, except adhere to the back of the stamped-but-not-decorated tree.
  9. Fill box with Hershey Kisses.

ALTERNATE DIRECTIONS FOR LARGER TREE
Measurements for Larger Tree (fits 12-13 Hershey Kisses)
  • Bubble Bath cardstock (5" x 6-1/2" piece for tree front and back), 1-3/4" x 10-3/4", 1-3/4" x 9-7/8")
  • Basic White cardstock (scrap for ornaments and star)
  • Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper (Berry Burst, 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" for garland and star)
Directions
Same as above except score the strips at the following measurements:
  • Longer strip gets scored on the short side at 1-1/2" and on the long side at 3-3/4", 7-1/2", and 10"
  • Shorter strip gets scored on the short side at 1-1/2" and on the long side at 3-5/8", 7-1/4" and 9-5/8".

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...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

 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...
