Christmas Tote

Okay, sorry I kept you guys in suspense -- or just kept neglecting my blog. Anyway, I am going to start posting the things I made for my Super Saturday display.

This first item is a simple tote made by using the same technique as you would to make a 2,4,6,8 box and then adding a ribbon handle. I used decorative paper to cover some of the sides to make it more exciting and stamped "Holiday Greetings" on the side. This would be the perfect little gift to give to a co-worker or friend. I filled it with cinnamon jolly ranchers candy.

To create the 2,4,6,8 box bottom, take a normal 8.5 x 11 paper, score at 2,4,6, and 8 inches (width wise -- the 8 should leave you a 0.5 strip at the edge). Then score at 2 inches from the bottom lengthwise. Then you cut up to the 2 inch score line on the lengthwise side to create bottom flaps. The little 0.5 inch edge piece is used to fold it into a box shape. Then you close up the tabs to for a bottom and tada -- an easy box. Okay, so those are confusing directions if you have never seen this done before. I am sorry. If you are interested and confused, zip me a comment or email and I will help you out as best as I can.

Oh, and one more thing, we went over 10000 views to my blog page! Thanks so much for your support! I appreciate it!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones!
