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...

Snowman Poop Mini Tic Tac's Tree Decorations with FREE Tutorial

Hello!

Apologies for my lack of blogging the last couple of days, I have been busy finishing off my Christmas shopping, making and sending the last of my Christmas cards and gifts and trying to tidy to get ready for guests over the festive period plus throw in a couple of extra shifts at work and there went my blogging time ;-)

So, to make up for my lack of blogging I have a little tutorial for you today :-D

I purchased some mini Tic Tac's at the airport on the way back from Spain again this year and as I still had a few left I decided to make a little tree decoration with my Tree Punch to send to a few kids I know (just in case I got bored with all the other things there are to do at this time of year, you see! lol!) So, I thought you guys might have a ton of time on your hands right now as well so you can make some too ;-) Grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy - it's picture heavy!

Here it is...

And this is what you'll need to re-create these hangers: all supplies will linked be at the end of this post :-) The only extra I forgot to photograph here was the Lost Lagoon ink pad and a blender pen.

 I stamped the little snowman and some snow fall from White Christmas onto the trees I punched from Under the Tree DSP (but you could use plain Kraft card too)

 and coloured his scarf and hat with the blender pen and ink pad and the snowy parts using the white gel pen

To colour with your blender pens and ink pads:

Press the bottom of the ink pad up to the lid (it's much more flexible than trying to press the top)

 and you'll get a "pool" of ink in the lid when you open it up, pick up this with your blender pen, I recommend using ink from the outer edges first as it can be quite dark from the centre. Colour your image and then scribble out your bender pen till it runs clear again. Your blender pen is now ready to use with a different colour.

 add a dimensional to the bottom of each of the punched trees

 add one tree to the front of the box, levelling up the bottom edge of the tree to the bottom of the tic tacs

 add the other tree to the back

 add a glue dot to the top of the back tree

 and add your loop of twine to this

 add a drop of crystal effects to the twine at the very tip of the tree

 like this

 then pinch it together, I used a bulldog clip to hold it securely for a few minutes while it dried a bit

 Ta-dah! there's your little snowman poop tree hangers

 and here they are on the tree!

.. looking pretty :-)

You can easily swap out the mini tic tacs (as I've not seen them anywhere but the airport for sale) try small wrapped mints or individually wrapped chocolates like Celebrations or Quality Street maybe?

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll be back tomorrow with more Christmas cards for you.

Stampin' Hugs for now,
