December Colour Inspiration

 

Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination


Reach for the Seasonal Labels Dies if you need some last minute tags for Christmas gifting this December. Layering multiple die cuts gives you lots of flexibility with layouts. These fun shapes will really step up your wrapped presents!

Foliage and pine cone elements were stamped with the Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set using Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Real Red Classic Ink, and die cut using the coordinating dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Extra texture was added to the Garden Green tag using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. You don't have to limit yourself to Christmas patterned paper for festive projects; the He's the Man Designer Series Paper was used for some of the label layers in two of these tags. The sentiments used are from the Christmas to Remember Cling Stamp Set. To finish off each tag, ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green ⅜" (1 cm) Ribbon Combo Pack was added to the top.

Milk Carton Treat Boxes

 



I've been playing around in my studio lately trying to come up with this year's treat boxes for my craft fairs. Every year I sell out of these treat boxes as they make great gifts for teachers, bus drivers and coaches.  I design them so a gift card fits nicely into the box as well as some candy or chocolate.  I was trying to find a milk carton design for this year but couldn't find one that would work for me.  I felt a little like Goldilocks as 1 was too small, another was just a little too big but also required a 12 X 12 piece of cardstock, which cut into my color choices.  Turns out I was going to have to do some math and come up with my own size. HERE'S WHAT I CAME UP WITH!


Treat Box Instructions

   Here's what you'll need:                    

                                           

              
1.  On the long side of your cardstock score at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches.
      Score short side at 2 1/2, 5 and 7 inches.

2. Trim as shown being careful to keep the 3/4" seam at the top of the cardstock.
     Cut along bottom score lines on 10 1/2 " side.


3.  Burnish all score lines. 

4.  Find mid point of 2nd and 4th 3/4" blocks and score down to 1st score line.  From that point on the score line score additional lines diagonally to 2nd score line, creating a scored triangle as shown.


5.  Use Tear & Tape or another adhesive to attach sides together to form box.

                                        

6.  Glue   4 DSP pieces to center blocks and the 2 smaller DSP to blocks without scored triangles.

7.  Fold in the 4 bottom panels and glue the bottom in place. (I glued all 4 panels to each other as I folded.

8.  Sit box on it's bottom and fold in the top of the carton pushing into the triangles to create milk carton shape.


9.  With top closed mark 2 spots for ribbon placement.  Create holes with Crop A Dial or other hole punch.


10.  Thread ribbon through holes and tie.

11.  Attach scalloped circles or other embellishments to finish box.  

 
                                       

Finished!  Don't forget the candy!
