Christmas Wrapper Box

I found this tutorial in a recent magazine on how to make this Christmas Wrapper box which is perfect for a small gift or some yummies for the tummy.

Naturally I had to try to make one Stampin' Up style.  I have used the Scentsational Season stamp set and the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies.  DSP is Be of Good Cheer and cardstock is Very Vanilla, ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.

I the instructions on how I made it at the end of this post.

How I Made It

Start with a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock.

Score the cardstock at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10".

Fold the cardstock concertina style (valley fold, mountain fold, valley fold etc)

Measure in 1/2" from each end on both sides and put a small pencil mark.  Measure 2 1/2" from this point.  Find the centre of the 2 1/2" measurement at 1 1/4" again put a small pencil mark.  Measure towards the centre 1" and put a small pencil mark.  Draw a triangle (See diagram 1 for an example of the measurements)

 Diagram 1

Cut the triangle out, cutting through all layers.  This forms the diamond shape on the end of the wrapper.  See Diagram 2.

Diagram 2

Cut a piece of DSP 12" x 5 3/4" and adhere to the centre of the cardstock piece.  It should look like Diagram 3.  At this stage you can ink the edges if you wish.

Diagram 3

Join the sides together to form a box.  See Diagram 4.

Tye ribbon around the end pieces, this pulls the ends together to.  Finally you can decorate the box.

Santa's Sleigh

Santa's Sleigh made for a display at yesterday's Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event.  The template I found at www.papershapez.com.

Sneak Peak at the "Christmas Wishes" stamp set in the new Holiday Catalogue.  I antiqued Santa from this stamp set and adhered him to the side of the sleigh.  His reindeers are on strike at the moment, resting up for December.

DSP used to cover the sleigh is "Be of Good Cheer" from the new 2012/12 Annual Catalogue.  Embelishments made from the Silver Glimmer Paper.

This sleigh is perfect for holding the holiday lollies that we always seem to have to have around at Christmas time.  I have put minties in my sleigh.

Advent Calendar

As promised here is the tutorial for the Advent Calendar I made for the Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event held on 25 August, 2012.  I noticed after taking the photo that some of the little boxes are a bit wonky as they are attached with velcro and need straightening up after travelling around Perth yesterday on the backseat of my car. Oh well, it just adds to the charm.

The numbers do not show up very well, by they have been made from the new Champagne Glimmer Paper and give a sparkle to the Advent Calendar.

The little boxes hold a small Chocolate Money or Dollar piece.  If you are feeling generous a dollar coin also fits perfectly in these little boxes (this is Australian Money or course).

Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event

The Perth Heatfelt Stampin' Event was held today and what a great time everyone had.  I was constantly amazed at the creativity and the willingness to share ideas and techniques.

I was invited to demonstrate on the Stampin' Table explaining the new products in the 2012/13 catalogue and to answer any questions that people had on techniques or products.  A lot of fun was had and I hope everyone went away from the day having enjoyed themselves, I know I did.

As part of my participation I was asked to make several samples for display show casing some of the products in the new catalogue.

One of the samples that I made was a Chocolate Box that holds 3 Ferrero Rocher chocolates.  During the day I was asked numerous times on how I made the box so here is a free tutorial on how I made it.

This is a sneak peak at one of the new stamp sets in the new Holiday Catalogue, "Watercolor Winter".

Box closed with the band in place.

Inside of box showing the detail on the inside of the lid and the yummy chocolates.

I also made an Advent Calendar which I will post at a later date once I have written the tutorial.

I hope you enjoy making this little chocolate box.
