Two Styles of Acetate Boxes For Christmas

Hello there,
I hope your Christmas preparations are going well? I have just a few more nights at work and a little house work to do before I can slow down a bit and enjoy the celebrations! But, the presents are wrapped and I feel like I'm getting there, slowly....
So, I think this may be my penultimate post for Christmas makes on here (unless I find something else I've forgotten about) and its a fun and easy couple of makes today making two different Acetate Boxes feel a little more festive. You could decorate these first, Tiny Treat Boxes, for the Christmas Day table as they are super quick to decorate with any festive DSP you have at home. For mine I used the cute Christmas Around the World paper...

I simply wrapped a strip of the paper around the outside of the boxes and filled them with celebrations choccies :-)

I added a layer of garden green card under a square of the paper and topped them with a mini gold glitter deer from the Card front Builder Dies.

And for the second box I used one of the Acetate Card Boxes and simply dry embossed it with the snowflake embossing folder (sadly it appears this is now sold out) but you can try this with any of your 11.4 x 15.7 cm (4-1/2" x 6-3/16" ) sized folders, extending this to something you can make all year round. 

It makes a lovely and quick way to package some cards (or chocolates or smellies etc....) as a gift :-)

Well, That's all from me for today,
I'll be back soon with those last Christmas makes!
'Till then, happy stamping :-)

Using the Popcorn Box for Gift Giving for Christmas (or Birthdays)

Hi there,
Todays project is perfect for those difficult to buy for folks in your life. I mean if they don't want SU! for Christmas unfriend them! he he, I mean this project might work instead!
I have a couple of teens here and they all like to visit the cinema so I purchased a gift voucher but I wanted to make it look a bit more special, so I turned to the brilliant Popcorn Box Die to make this...

I die cut the box and added a gold glimmer paper reindeer to the front after adding a black bakers twine bow-tie.

 I have filled the box with sweets and popped in a cinema gift voucher.
Sweet treats and ticket money all ready to go straight out - just choose a film!

I then popped the whole thing in a cello bag tied with gold bakers twine and added a tag from the tin of tags kit.

Feel free to Pin this idea for when you are stuck for gift ideas!

 I'd love to receive this for christmas, what about you?

Snowman Poop Easy Tic Tac Box using SU! White Christmas. Week 10 in the Crafty Christmas Makes Series with a Video Tutorial.

Hello and welcome to this weeks Crafty Christmas Makes post!
Now, this week I decided to make a cute and easy Snowman Poop Tic Tac box. This is an idea I first designed for Halloween some 3 years ago (you can see that post HERE) and I have updated it for Christmas using the White Christmas stamps in both a white and crumb cake colour way, take a look...

 So, here's a close up of the white version, I used thick white card for this so it stayed quite firm and plenty of Dazzling Diamonds glitter!!

 and the Crumb Cake version, I love how these trees look with the white gel pen, I made a lot of cards like this last year, (see them HERE)

So, lets see how to make these holders shall we?

For written measurements in cm please go HERE

Measurements in Inches: Card: 4+1/8" x 3"

Score at: 1+3/4" and 2_3/8"

Stamp before folding score lines! *Please watch the video for details* :-)

 The holders I have made so far, I have a whole heap more to make too ;-) I just need a night off work now...

 I used Dazzling diamonds on the white version instead of  gel pen, they are sooo sparkly in real life :-)

Picture to Pin...

 So, I hope you like today's post? Please feel free to use this code of you order from me this month. Please note: SU! are saying that due to shipping times slowing due to Christmas volume the 13th December is the last date to likely receive products before Christmas. So, if you want to unwrap SU! this year, please order in plenty of time :-)

Thanks as ever for looking today,
