Christmas is less than a week away!! We are all working on those last minute tasks, hoping to get it all done before the BIG DAY. My project today is a quick and unique treat holder that can be put together quickly with just a stop at your local grocery or convenience store. I used products from the PAINTED CHRISTMAS SUITE, but you can use whatever holiday paper you have in your stash.
The PAINTED CHRISTMAS SUITE includes two amazing bundles, both so beautiful for making traditional holiday projects. But the star of this show is the stunning DSP.
1)Start
with a piece of EVENING EVERGREEN card stock cut at 7-1/4in by 11in. Score
on ALL SIDES at 1/2in, 1in, 1-1/2in and 2in.
On BOTH SHORT ENDS, score at 2-1/2in and 4-3/4in to the SECOND SCORE
LINE ONLY. Do your cutting before you
fold on your score lines. Below is a
template of the shadow box after cutting and before creasing the score lines.
2)Crease all the score lines and put the box together using sticky strip and TOMBOW for the corners. Check out the video tutorial linked below to see how the box comes together.
3)For the slide on lid, start with a piece of coordinating DSP cut at 7in by 8-1/2in. If you have a directional paper, be sure it is in a portrait orientation. I used a piece from the PAINTED CHRISTMAS SUITE. Place the completed box face down in the middle of the DSP and fold the paper around the box, lightly folding at each edge. Remove the box and use your bone folder to crease these lines and make sharp edges. Wrap it around the box again and using STICKY STRIP, close the slide on lid in the back.
4)To decorate the front of the box, I used a 2-3/8in STITCHED CIRCLE with coordinating LAYERING SCALLOP and adhered them to the left side. I stamped a mistletoe, greenery, pinecone, and berries image on BASIC WHITE card stock and cut them out using the coordinating stamps and dies. Adhere them on the circle with TOMBOX and DIMENSIONALS. Finish off the circle with a silver bow from the SIMPLY ELEGANT TRIM using a GLUE DOT.
5)Finally, stamp the “MERRY
CHRISTMAS” sentiment in REAL RED INK on a 3/4in BASIC WHITE card stock
strip. Cut the banner end on the left
side and adhere to the box using DIMENSIONALS.
