Candy Countdown Christmas from the 2010 Holiday Mini Catalog is great way to count down those days to Christmas with little ones (or the young at heart!)<br />The kit contains 25 fast-fold boxes, printed die cuts, ribbon,rope, and little clothespins to hang your treat boxes. These would make cute ornaments or party favors as well!<br />Other ideas...<br />TEACHERS: Turn the numbered die cuts over and use as a gift tag for each of your students' names!<br />MOMS: Fill with treats or trinkets as little gifts for your child's class!<br />OR, keep on hand at home filled with cookies or other baked goodies for holiday visitors, carolers, or neighbors!</p><br /><p>You can call me with your order or order online <strong><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120926&dbwsdemoid=2012592" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong> now!</p>Lisa Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02567775631707785203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872518063018036358.post-72835488605898070322010-11-19T13:00:00.001-06:002010-11-19T13:00:04.388-06:00Fabulous Friday: Fabulous Stampin' Up!

The image is adhered to the back side of the tag with <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=110755&dbwsdemoid=2012592"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tombow Mono Multi</span></a> glue. <br /><br />Next, the self-adhesive rhinestones were placed over the stamped berries then colored red with a permanent marker. :) <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120992&dbwsdemoid=2012592"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seam Binding Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler</span></a> is attached on top.<br /><br />Although this particular hardware is no longer available; our <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=111325&dbwsdemoid=2012592"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Styled Silver</span></a> or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=112454&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Styled Vanilla</a> </span>Hardware has some beautiful pieces which you can also emboss in gold!

This went together quickly using the Bells and Boughs set from the Holiday Mini Catalog with some ribbon and Big Designer Buttons as accents.<br />Try using this scrap method next time that 12 x 12 looks a little too big...you'll have it put together before you know it!

Found the directions on a stamping friend's blog, Sharon Johnson.<br /> You’ll need 12 x 12 designer paper... full sheet for the box bottom and 1/2 sheet for the box top. <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Box Bottom, using a full 12 x 12″ sheet</span>:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Score at 2 3/4″, repeating at 2 3/4″ intervals. You will have four score lines with a 1" tab left to adhere the box together.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Turn the paper and score once at 2 3/4″.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Cut your slits as you would for any box, removing the narrow piece under the tab.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong></strong> Fold and adhere box bottom and sides together using Sticky Strip.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Box Top, using a 6 x 12″ piece</span>:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">The box top needs to be slightly larger than the box bottom for a smooth fit. Score the box top at 2 7/8" intervals along the long side. Turn and score at 2 7/8" on the short side. Cut slits and adhere box top together.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I tied a piece of "retired" Stampin' Up! ribbon around the top and created a tag with the Two Tags Die embellished with the snowflake stamp from Winter Post and a Big Designer Button in Real Red. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">This would be a great box to give filled with votive candles or wrapped candies. Create yours now and be ready for the season of giving!</p><p style="text-align: left;">Supplies:</p><p style="text-align: left;">Stamps: <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=111780&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Winter Post</a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Paper: <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120809&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Candy Cane Christmas Specialty</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=119940&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Real Red 12 x 12</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=111352&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Baja Breeze</a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Ink: <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=102283&dbwsdemoid=2012592">VersaMark</a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Accessories: <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=109132&dbwsdemoid=2012592">White Embossing Powder</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=100005&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Heat Tool</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=105021&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Signo White Gel Pen</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=115954&dbwsdemoid=2012592">Two Tags Die</a>,<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=113439&dbwsdemoid=2012592"> Big Shot</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=109052&dbwsdemoid=2012592">5/8" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon</a>, crochet thread<br /></p>Lisa Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02567775631707785203noreply@blogger.com0
