Origami Box


I had to make a new Origami Box for my
Workshop this weekend.

We'll be making some Ornaments (which I have posted below - only we will use flat glass ones) and this is the perfect Box to give your Ornament away!!!

For this Box I have used River Rock CS and the Holiday Harmony DSP from the "Holiday Mini Catalog". I also used the Satin Pomegranate Ribbon - love the super soft feeling !!!

And that's all..... you also can decorate the top like I did with the Scalloped Circle Punch. I think that gives the Box it's finished touch.

The Origami Box was posted by http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/2007/05/box-instructions.html
Kristina made some really cute Boxes....
Also you can get some good instructions from this:

Hope you like my Box and try your own - you'll have fun making them!!!

Frosty Ornament


I am a big Snowman Fan...I might have mentioned that before and I keep buying Snowman images!!!
Once I have seen the beautiful Ornaments everybody has created on SCS I knew exactly what I wanted to use for my Ornaments!!! FROSTY....

I still had some Transparent Sheets left from my projects last Winter, so that was perfect....and this is what I did:

* Stamp the image with Basic Black Ink on the
Transparent Sheet.
* Color the scarf, hat, buttons, nose etc with you
favorite Markers. (I have used Real Red and in
between I have used the Dazzling Diamond Glitter
for some "Sparkle")
* Use your Circle Coluzzle and cut around your image.
DO NOT CUT all the way thru !!! You will need to
leave a little handle on top so you can move your
image once you have placed it inside!!!
* To place the image inside you have to roll it very gently and place it inside your Ornament
and let it unfold...you can position it with the little handle you have created.
* I filled the Ornament with some Scintillement Brillo Glitter (Crystal) to give it some more
"Snow" affect... - I bought this Glitter at Michaels just in case you need to find some.
* For the string I have use the 1/4" Real Red Ribbon from SU and you can cut it any lenght
you like.

Have fun making it!!! It's a great project for your kids too. I can't wait to make some more.
Matter of fact I'll be making some this weekend for my workshop!!!

Have a great day and I'll be creating somthing new soon.....

I almost forgot to mention this great blog from Hollie Lisk aka PrideStampers from SCS she made a couple of beautiful Ornaments please check out her blog:
