Winter Wonderland Banner

Okay technology is not my friend today as this is the third attempt to post this so hopefully it will work!

I made this gorgeous banner from the Gift Tags from the Seasonal Expressions booklet. Hope it will inspire you to make one of your own :O)

Pillow Box chocolate Gift box

I know this is a little difficult to see but this is the best I can do - it doesn't matter what the background it - the box is clear and hard to photograph :O)

I used the Frosted Paper pack and the Stamp of the month from December - Special Care.

I covered most of the stamped image just leaving "Hugs and Kisses required" and then filled the clear CTMH Pillow Box with Herseys Kisses.

The red and silver wrappers for the chocolates were perfect with the Silver Shimmer Trim and the 

Ruby Mini Medley Flower.

A cute Stocking Stuffer for Christmas :O)

Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx

Hitomi's Christmas Tree Advent Calendar Cubby

Yesterday I saw one of my many groups of 'Lovely Ladies' and Hitomi shared a picture of the ADORABLE My Creations Cubby advent calendar which she had created.

Although the Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge has the box which fits the spaces in the cubby - many of my ladies don't own a Cricut - so I designed a box which could be cut using a paper trimmer 

& would fit the 2 1/2" spaces  - and then shared this pattern with my ladies.

Hitomi cut the boxes from the different colored cardstock and made the Christmas Tree design within the area - I adore the yellow cardstock #3 which forms the star for the tree and the brown cardstock #23 which is the trunk of the tree. 

Then boxes #8, #12, #13, #14, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20 in the green cardstock for the branches.

Hitomi used a blue cardstock for the rest of the boxes and as you can see decorated them with snowflakes and other Christmas images etc.

The box is made from a 7 1/2" square which is scored in a tic-tac-toe pattern every 2 1/2 inches.

Cut along one of  the score lines on each side - up to the center square and fold the sides up to make the box. Then use the CTMH 1 1/4" hole punch to cut a semi-circle out of one side :O)
