Hello Creative Friends,
Awhile back I shared a gable box by altering the Sizzix Box #2 Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine just a little.  Basically, I added a second lid/flap and adhered it to make both the front and back of the box match.  

Today I’m sharing another box done the same way.  Actually this was the first one that I did.  I just have had it set aside for awhile till it got closer to Christmas.  I used the Stampin’ Up! punches to turn this into a gingerbread house. 

Punches Used:
Scallop Circle Punch (Bushes)
1 Inch Circle (Roof)
Wide Oval (Door)
1/8 Handheld (Lights Across Roof-line)
1/8 Handheld & 1/2 Inch Circle (Wreath–Punch center out first with smaller punch)

The windows are 3/4 inch squares.  I sponged the edges of all the pieces with White Craft Ink and the little “lights” along the roof have Crystal Effects over top of them to give them a shinny look.  The details on everything are just drawn on with a white gel pen (uniball Signo).

You can see I decorated all the way around the box.  Below you can tell how I just wrapped the bushes on around the little house by overlapping them.  I used approximately 48 punch cut-outs for the roof.  It all depends though how much you overlap the rows and how close each row is.  I found that mine weren’t exact.  If you end up with roof ”shingles” hanging over the sides, just cut them off with scissors.

I used Jumbo Eyelets on each flap to put my ribbon through.    This  makes a great little box to hide a gingerbread treat inside.

Hello Creative Friends,
Hope you are all having a good week.  Today I’m sharing some little Thanksgiving boxes.  I love things for the Thanksgiving table and these would be fun little favors for each place setting.

I made blank note cards for the inside that I decorated, then  scored, folded up, and tied with Linen Thread.  This project could be used as little gift boxes for you to write a special “thank you” note to each of your guests.  I always think it’s a wonderful thing when you tell someone what a blessing they are and this is a great time of year to do so in a special way.

You could also keep the notes blank for your guests to take home and write their blessings down.    Add tags with names to the boxes to make them into place holders.

The boxes are made with the Stampin’ Up! Matchbox Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and are decorated with the Gifts of the Earth and the Autumn Days stamp sets.  The worded image is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set and the Designer Series Paper is Autumn Traditions.

I wanted the stamped image with the pumpkin (top box) to look aged so I stamped it with Really Rust Ink on Whisper White card stock.  Then I inked up my Brayer with Creamy Caramel Ink and rolled over the stamped image and sponged the edges.  I put faux stitching along the edges of that one.

Have a great day,

Hello Creative Friends,
Hope you are having a great week.  Today I’m sharing another Breast Cancer Awareness project.  These are 3 x 3 cards placed together with envelopes into a little gift box.

I made these with Pretty In Pink  Card stock and placed a piece of Whisper Whitecard stock on the fronts.  I used the Texture Backgrounds 1 plates to make the Swiss dot texture on the Whisper White card stock.  The stamp is the Ribbon of Hope, which is one of the $10 and under stamps.  The Wide Oval and Scallop Oval Punches are used to place the ribbon stamp image on.

The box the cards  are placed in is made with the Sizzix Box #2 Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  I left the lip-flap straight up and cut off the side tabs of the box.

These cards are  great for little thank yous to your group members for your Relay To Life events or just for encouraging someone.  You can make the ribbon stamp in any color to correlate to the cancer that you are highlighting awareness for.

 Don’t forget, 3 x 3 cards have to be hand delievered as they are too small to meet US mailing guidelines.
