Santa's Workshop Box

In my Santa’s Workshop examples, I showed a Santa Box, made using the Santas Workshop speciality DSP. It is super super cute, I must confess that I CASEd the idea from Scrimping Mommy she made an amazing castle box. Whilst mine does not look like a castle the basic design is the same. The dimensions mean that the largest die cut (the Santa and list) will fit with a boarder. I had planned to do a video but haven’t got round to it (someone stole all my spoons again.)

I used the dies to cut out Santa, the elves and Mrs Santa (Mrs Claus sounds better) from the DSP. Of course you could use the stamps and colour using blends or Stampin’ write markers. It works with either option.

The dimensions are:

Box:(Poppy Parade) - cut card to 8 15/16 x 8 15/16 score on all four sides at 3"

Lid:(Poppy Parade)- cut card to 4 1/2” x 4 1/2" score on all four sides at 3/4"

4 x Decoration Panels: 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” (5 if want to add panel to top of box.)

I hope you like the box. I love it. I hope to create a video soon.

Santa's Workshop Cards

One of the most amazing suites in the Autumn Winter Catalogue is the Santa’s workshop suite. It is a large suite with stamps, dies, a punch, ribbon and other embellishments. It is gorgeous collection, I have shown you the cards which I made using the Santa’s Workshop memories and more Cards. I have already created cards using the Memories and More pack, so I decided to play with the other items in the suite.

I had so much fun, it is so cute. one of the other Strawberries is not keen on the elves, I think they are amazing! I love the ones carrying presents and think that they make super simple, super cute. The papers can be fussy cute or some of the pictures can also be cut out using the dies, It is the perfect paper to put in your cutting machine. There is no glitter on the paper! so it is easier to scan the lines in!! But it is also easy to fussy cut.

The video below shows the examples which I have made and also gives a close up of the suite.

You can find the images in the gallery, I still have lots of ideas for this suite. I love the small santas sacks, I have cut out a few too many.

Jelly Bean Pouches for table presents and gifts

Firstly I must apologise that I missed Thursday and Saturday this week, I am not sure if I have previously said but i am a ‘spoonie.’ I have a chronic illness which in my case is Chronic Pain, it effects my tierdness the term was originally penned by Christine Miserandino who entitled her theory ‘The Spoon Theory.’ I have had an odd week and so apologise for not posting.

My video today is a Jellybean pouch created to enclose a 40g Jellybelly pouch, I love them, I have made them for craft fairs and also used them as table presents and a little present if I am giving money or a gift card.

The video below shows how to create them. I did make an error the sheet is 4 1/2”

I hope you like them, I would love to see pictures of yours if you make some, these are definitely craft fair must haves.
