I've always loved the MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACKS and coordinating CARDS & ENVELOPES PACKS to make some quick and cute greeting cards. The BEARY CHRISTMAS PACKS are no different. But after an afternoon of creating last week, I found out that the packs make some really cool 3D projects as well. I think my favorite is the HOLIDAY MEMORY BOOK. The BEARY CHRISTMAS MEMORIES AND MORE PRODUCTS makes it easy to put it together.
To create the book itself, start with four envelopes. Adhere them together using TOMBOW. Place the adhesive on one envelope flap and line it up with another envelope's bottom edge. Glue all four together. Cut apart four card bases and adhere them to each panel of the book. Next, choose eight 4in by 6in cards and adhere them to the eight pages on the memory book. On the inside pages, adhere four 3in by 4in cards layered with four 2-3/4in by 3-3/4in panels of BASIC WHITE card stock. Using the sticker sheets from the kit, decorate around the picture panels.
For the cover, choose a 3in by 4in card and layer it on a 3-1/4in by 4-1/4in piece of NIGHT OF NAVY card stock. Place this panel on the front of the book using DIMENSIONALS so a piece of the IRIDESCENT RIBBON can be used to tie the book closed. Decorate with stickers.
If you want to add slider panels, I used NIGHT OF NAVY card stock cut at 4in by 5-1/2in and layer a 3in by 4in card and stickers. These panels slide inside the envelope pockets and allow you to add more pictures or journaling.
With the extra envelopes in the pack, you can make adorable little gift bags.
First, using your paper trimmer, cut off the curved section of the flap to make it straight. Next, on the three other sides, score at 3/4in and 1-1/2in. Crease the score lines well then create the gift bag by pressing on the bottom edge of the envelope to form the bottom of the bag. Squeeze the corners together to form triangles and adhere them to the bottom of the bag with TOMBOW.
Crease the pleats on the sides of the gift bag and fold over the envelope flap. Use some TOMBOW to hold the ends of the flap together. Punch two holes in the flap and thread a piece of silver trim from the GOLD & SILVER TRIM COMBO PACK through the holes and tie on the front. Finally, adhere a sticker from the BEARY CHRISTMAS MEMORIES & MORE PACK to the front of the bag.
For the gift box, start with a card base from the CARDS & ENVELOPE PACK. On the LONG side, score at 1in, 2in, 4-1/4in, 5-1/4in and cut off at 7-1/2in. On the SHORT side, score at 1in from each side. Below is a template of the gift box after the excess card base is cut away.
Using the smaller 4in by 6in cards, cut a panel at 4in by 2in for the card front and two coordinating strips cut at 3/4in by 4in for the flap. Stick the LET IT SNOW sticker to a piece of scrap BASIC WHITE card stock and cut it out. Punch a hole in the top and attach it to the gift box with the IRRIDESCENT RIBBON. Finally adhere the WARM WISHES sticker to the bottom right of the box front.
Remember, any other pieces you have left will be adorable holiday cards or gift tags. I love these MEMORIE & MORE products. So many possibilities. If you'd like to see how these three projects come together, click the YOUTUBE link below.
