Combining passions

I have always loved creating. I enjoy pairing patterns, colour and texture, seeing what works together, and sometimes, those pairings can be surprising.
Sitting at my desk this morning with papers spread in front of me looking for inspiration for day seven of my 12 days of Christmas, I immediately saw a quilt. I knew it would be easy coming up with a card for a close friend using the Candy Cane Lane DSP and Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp sets.
The Stitched Shapes Framelits makes it super easy, too- a few runs through the Big Shot, and I had all the pieces ready to go. I love how the stitching on the Crumb Cake cardstock makes it look like suede The Stitched Shapes Framelits are so versatile- they come with square, round and oval- and quickly add that little bit of something to finish off a card quickly and easily!

The sentiment came from Tin of Tags, and the Reindeer is from Cookie Cutter Christmas. I cut out the squares, adhered them to a piece of white cardstock, and then decided it needed something to finish it off, so I ran it through the Big Shot using the Seaside Textured Impressions embossing folder. I then stuck it onto a piece of Real Red cardstock and added the sentiment and reindeer (stuck on with dimensionals). 

Just a quick reminder that until the end of the month, select stamps that coordinate with the Stitched Shapes Framelits are 25% off. Send me an email or message me on Facebook for more information (stampinwithandrea). 

Happy Crafting!

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
