12 Days Of Christmas – Day Five crafty ideas for Christmas

December 5, 2010 By Michelle Last

Day Five On the fifth day of Christmas……………

I created a table gift for all the men in our lives.  I have stuck with the same theme of blues and browns to match my decor and used the beautiful and most popular patterned paper Elegant Soiree.

This time I have made a box to hold some After Eight mints, I was inspired to make this when I received a swap from one of my downline  Peg at one of our quarterly training events.  It is really easy to make and I have included step by step photos to make your own but I have not included measurements as your contents may be a different size so you can adapt it to suit your contents.

 

So here is today's offer, if you place an order with me today you can receive free p&p.  Today only and the minimum order has to be over £20.

Here is what the box looks like on yout place setting.

After-8-box

This is what the box looks like opened and the contents.

After-8-box-inside

You need to wrap a piece of cardstock around the contents horizontally so that it is open at the top and bottom.

After-8-inner

Then cut a piece of patterned paper and wrap around the inner vertically.  Glue the front and back of the inner to the patterned paper.  Border punch a piece of cardstock and stick to the inside of the patterned paper so that it shows on the outside.

After-8-paper

Stamp a bauble and stick to the front of the box but make sure that you only stick at the bottom of the bauble so that you can tuck the flap behind the bauble to keep the lid closed.

After-8-closure

Using a circle punch cut out a half circle on the front of the box to make it easy to remove the contents.

Table-gifts

And here are the table gifts together.  Hope you are enjoying my blog inspiration and come back tomorrow for more…..

It’s catalogue launch day and I have a pretty pop up card to share with you using one of the lovely new bundles from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The Tile Garden Bundle caught my eye straight away. I love its gentle prettiness and all those lovely little floral details. Although I made mine as a birthday card, this style of pop up card could easily be adapted for thank you's, Christmas, congratulations or lots of other occasions....

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
