Santa's Workshop Gable Gift Box. Number 54 of #100things

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all having a great week so far.

I have another Christmas project today, this is a cute Gable Gift Box decorated with the gorgeous Santa's Workshop characters.

The gable boxes come and ready cut and scored, so you just have to build them - quick and easy!!

Using the Dashing Along DSP cut two pieces that measure 3 7/8" x 1 7/8" and two pieces at 1 7/8" x 1 7/8". Using snail add these to the flat sides of the box. I used this DSP as I had enough scraps to fit, but you could use a plain pattern from any paper pack.

Fussy cut some images from the Santa's workshop DSP sheets and arrange these around the box.

Create two bows from the Poppy Parade textured weave ribbon and stick with a glue dot to either side of the box on the sloped sides.

On a scrap of whisper white stamp the season's greetings sentiment from the Wishing You Well stamp set. Fussy cut of a layer onto a piece of the Dashing along DSP. Add this to the front of the box on to sloped section.

Graceful Glass Bookmark. Number 47 of #100things

Good Morning Everyone,

Today I have this cute little bookmark for you. I tend to read a lot of books, so a bookmark is a must for me, so I thought I would make myself a pretty little one using the beautiful Graceful Glass Printed Vellum.

These are really quick and easy to make, and would make a great little gift or packaged up could do well for a craft fair.

Take the printed vellum pack and find the design that has four long thin panels. Cut down this piece to create four even panels approx. 5" x 1 1/2" each. Pick one of the designs for your bookmark.

I used watercolour pencils to create a softer look, but nay colouring medium will work. Turn the panel over and colour in the back side of the vellum. Add colour using the watercolour pencils, then blend the colour together to get rid of the harsh lines.

Add small dots of liquid glue to a few places and them adhere to a piece of whisper white of the same size. Usually you have to be careful with glue and vellum as it can show through but with the colouring on the back makes the adhesive less noticeable.

Cut a piece of old olive cardstock that measures 5 3/4" x 1 3/4". Round the corners of one short edge using the detailed trio punch. Also cut a hole using another function on the punch. Use this hole to thread a length of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and secure this in place with a small length of baker twine tied into a knot.
