Christmas Recycled

Hi all,

Today is a sad sad day, today I am announcing my last post for One Stitch At A Time. I have been with the DT for 4 yrs, I think. I just want to say how much I am going to miss them and want to Thank Stitchy and Jane and my teamies for all the years of fun, support and encouragement. They definitely have pushed me to try new things and broaden into other areas of crafting/art that I would have not tried. Being on a DT for that long it's like family. You get to know each other and make friendships that are treasured for a long time. I will miss being a part of such a fabulous team.

For this New Challenge at One Stitch At A Time I created a couple of Christmas items, a card and matchbox gift box. The New One Stitch At A Time Challenge theme - Anything Goes with Recycling. 

For this card I used PBD Christmas Flakes 3. I just love the beautiful Non-Traditional colors of 
this set. So soft and pretty, yet it still has a Christmas feel to it. This paper set is digital paper but
it is just gorgeous. For the Recycling portion of the challenge I used some Prima gems 
that I had placed on a photo frame a while back. I pulled them off and then glued them down
around my beautiful Christmas bulb image. And I placed the remaining ones inside the 
the little box I created with this beautiful paper. 


Here is close up of the Christmas card I created. I used the gems I recycled from a photo frame.
I added stickels to the Christmas bulbs and Christmas trees. One of the digital papers has these
pretty little holly leaves with pink berries so I fussy cut those out and adhered them to the card.
Another design paper in this set has the words Merry Christmas which I cut out with one of my 
label dies and popped up to make it look 3D. I just love how this card turned out so pretty. 

 Here is a close of the matchbox Christmas gift box I created. For the top of the box I used
the digital paper that had Merry Christmas and the bottom of the box  I used the blue digital 
design. I created a bow from the holly paper and fussy cut out the holly and adhered in the 
middle of bow and used a pink pearl for the centers of both of the holly's.

 Here is the inside of the matchbox and I covered the bottom with another 
one of the digital papers, and along the sides I placed gems.

Give Away + Graphic 45 Gift Box

Hi all,

***Reminder to join in my Giveway*** (check sidebar)

Today I have a little gift box I made for a friend a couple of months ago. It was made with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea, (which is my fav paper from G45), I also used Botanical Tea Stamp.
I got the box idea from mummylade.blogspot which was inspired by Lene Katrine. I made mine a little bigger so I did my own measurements. I will give those to you in case you all want to make one. I really liked this box once I got a handle on the measurements it turned out really pretty.
So I am going to show you the picture of my finished creation first than I will give you pictures of the measures and how to put it together. There will be a lot pictures. (sorry)

My finished gift box - I placed a couple of tea bags in the box for her.


***This is the front view

***Inside view

***I crated a flap that opens up

***I decorated the inside of the flap with the Botanical Tea tag showing. Added TH vintage photo and smooch paints to the wooden cup, Also attached a little rose and butterflies in the bottom corners as they connect with a magnet to close securely.
Well I hope you like it.
Now on to the pictures with the measurements and how to put it together. Please remember this is not my design of the box I cased it from Mummylade.blogspot and she was inspired by Lene Katrine, I give full credit to them for this beautiful design. :D Also remember if you have any questions please leave me a message in the comment box. If you go to Mummylade's blog go to Templates and she has a template that shows you the same design as my photo.

Picture 1 - Paper is 8x8 scored at 3/4; score @ 1 5/8; score @ 2 1/2. After you score measure from the edge of your paper go passed the 3 score lines and mark at 2 1/2 with a pencil. Do this on each end of the paper, that is where you are going to cut in order to get the diagonal cuts for your box.


Picture 2 - fold on score lines towards the inside of the box.

Picture 3 - Only glue down three of the flaps

Picture 4 -  This is going to be your cover. Just measure the one end of the box that is not glued down and that will give you a start for how long you want the cover to be, don't forget the little tab you need for closing in the front of the box.


Picture 5 -  After you score your cover to match the flap you can glue them together.

Picture 6 - Picture shows how to glue them to get the cover on. (end to end)
Picture 7- fold the glued flap down like the other flaps and then you will have your top cover for the box.
****See all done. Whew.... : D
