Christmas is approaching very quickly.
Only 12 days until Christmas Day.
I'm going to celebrate with all of you.
I am holding a Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaway.
Each day beginning today, December 13th
you have a chance to win a prize,
but you have to leave a comment to get your
name in the drawing. Who's ready to play????
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Post a comment — you could be the winner.
I promised I would post directions for the
Chapstick Box I posted last week.
Here you go:
I used Emerald Envy cardstock and
Presents & Pinecones designer paper
Cardstock — 4 3/4" x 7"
Score 1" & 3 3/4" down long side
Score 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2" & 3 1/2"
Score at 4 1/2" only to the 1" score lines as shown
Cut off 2 1/2" each section on both sides
Snip tabs up to 1" score line — I like to cut the
small tabs at a little angle to lose some bulk
Trim the 1/2" piece at angle — this gets tucked
into the top to close box
Using the Lots of Labels Framelits
trim the top edge of the box as shown
Cut the designer paper with the next
smaller label framelit and attach to box
Top designer piece — 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Attach to box top and use Paper Piercing Tool
to poke a hole. I used Red Baker's Twine
threaded through a Red Mini Jingle Bell
and then threaded through the hole
and tie several times on the inside.
Trim the top 1" tabs to about 1/2" and
cut at angles.
Assemble box with Fast Fuse or
Tear & Tape (snail will not hold this box).
Continue assembling the box.
DON'T put adhesive on the 1/2" flaps.
These tuck into the box to close the
chapstick inside.
Designer Paper — 7/8" x 7/8" — 2 pieces
attach over these end flaps
Put chapstick in box and close.
You are ready for gifting this pretty present.
