Lustrous White Mini Gable Box - Christmas Gift Box

Good Morning everyone! WOW!!! It's December 20th already! I had my last class of 2018 yesterday and now I'll have a little down time to celebrate Christmas with my family. Christmas is my favorite time of year...I love to decorate, bake, send cards and make gifts...but this year I just ran out of gas! My cards are waiting to be signed and mailed and my pathetic little tree (my husband and son bought it at Tractor Supply...UGHHH) sits, waiting to be decorated. Today is the last day of school so I think I'll bake tomorrow with my daughter...YAY!!! I can't let this happen next year!!!

Well...I want to share another project we made at my December classes with you today!

For this project you need a Lustrous White Mini Gable Box. Cut a 12" X 2 " piece of Under the Mistletoe designer paper placing a piece of Tear & Tape adhesive at each end. Start wrapping the designer paper at a corner, creasing at the corners as you wrap and ending at the corner you started at! Next tie a bow around the box using Granny Apple Green 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon (I LOVE this ribbon)!! Using the Stamparatus and the Labels to Love stamp sets, stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock in Real Red and Granny Apple ink. Punch it out with the Everyday Label punch. Punch a second label from Real Red cardstock and emboss it using the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. Punch a hole in both the stamped tag and the embossed tag then tie it to around the Granny Apple Green bow with Linen Thread! VIOLA...you have a SUPER FUN & CUTE gift box! I rolled up a pair of Christmas socks to put inside...it doesn't always have to be candy!!

14 Days of Love - Day 13

Oh my goodness...it's February 1st and I forgot to put my husbands Day 1 treat out for him...YIKES!!! I thought I was so on top of things! Well...Happy FEBRUARY anyway! I hope you didn't forget to surprise your special someone! I have mine sitting by the coffee pot for when he comes home from work...or maybe I'll move it to his pillow!

I have Day 13 to share with you today! Have FUN!!!

I love the new Silver Mini Gable Boxes in the Occasions Catalog! You get twelve boxes for $8.00 (#145568). I cut a 2" X 12" piece of the Painted With Love Specialty Designer Paper and wrapped it around the box....scoring the corners with my fingers. I adhered it with a piece of Tear & Tape adhesive to both ends to hold it in place. Next I stamped the LOVE sentiment, in Berry Burst, with the Labels to Love stamp set. I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch to cut it out and layered it onto a Silver Foil circle cut with the 1 1/2" Circle punch. I wrapped the Berry Burst 5/8" Crinkled Ribbon around the box, tying it into a bow. Last I tied a wooden heart from the Hearts and Stars Elements around the Berry Burst bow using Linen Thread. This comes together really quickly and has lots of room for some FUN treats!
