Twisted Thank You

The minute I first saw this box on Pinterest I knew I needed to try it for myself.  I have made several different prototypes using different types of paper and have learned quite  a lot throughout this process.  I first tried cardstock wit DSP cut and added to one triangle on each side.  I was not happy with how the DSP wrinkled and came unstuck around some edges during the twisting process.  I tried stamping directly on cardstock and then putting the box together and twisting.  Finally, I tried some thick specialty DSP .  The first try, I forgot to score the diagonals before putting the box together.  The box was impossible to twist, but I chalked it up to operator error and thought I'd try again from scratch.  These pictures show the final result. I would recommend adding a little of your treat in the bottom of the box before twisting and then filling the top with treat once it is twisted.

Here are the dimensions I used for the box:
DSP 10" x 8.5"

Score on the long side at 1/2", 2 1/2", 7 1/2", 9 1/2"
Score on the short side at 1/2", 2 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2"

Lay paper with 1/2" score line running from top to bottom on left side of paper.
Score in the large rectangles diagonally from top right to bottom l

Santa's Sleigh Is Still in the Air?

Is Santa still in his sleigh flying around? Tradition would suggest NOT.  Tradition would suggest he finished his deliveries on Christmas Eve and then Google showed us he made it back home and was relaxing in his chair with Mrs. Claus.  I checked Google today to see if it gave me a glimpse of what is going on with the Santa and Mrs. Claus, but it is silent.  So, I guess I have to use my own imagination.  I think Santa takes a vacation to recover after his Christmas Eve deliveries around the world.  And, maybe, he takes his sleigh along with gifts for Mrs. Claus where they can celebrate and relax after the Christmas Eve deliveries have been made before work begins in the workshop in preparation for next Christmas Eve.

 

I love the Memories & More kits and how fast and easy it is to make multiple gorgeous cards in a matter of minutes.  It certainly helps out during those times you need one (or more) last minute cards.

Video: December Online Class Featuring Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set--Week 4

Believe it or not, here we are at not only the last card of the month, but also the last card of the year.  For most of the year, I created one Christmas card with each of the featured stamp sets.  This month, we made three Christmas cards and this is the one non-Christmas card made with this stamp set.  I think this could be perfect for a Valentine card since who knows if there will be snow out the window on Valentine's Day.  :)

Check out the online class video below:

Don't forget you have a few more days to take advantage of the Year-End Closeout, so head over and get your favorites before they are gone.
