Boxes FULL of Christmas



What a Fantastic Event.. How Awesome were the projects?

Everyone LOVED them!!!!

This was the TEASER I sent out to all my customers to get them interested in coming to the event...

I took some close up photos of some of the elements on each project and used my PhotoCollage App on my phone and wallah here is the teaser. Too easy...



 And here is all the Projects we made on the day.... We played Christmas Carols all day...
                             And we raised money again for the Angel Baby Boxes....







This Three Times a Reindeer Card was inspired by Margaret Johnson photo I found on Pintrest... www.stamphaven.ca.












This project - Christmas Tea Time Box was a SMASH HIT.. Everyone loved it.. It is such a simple project and easy to mass produce... And it is so DANG cute!!!

I found the cute little spoons in the bargin shop they were $2.50 for a 20 pack... the Measurements in this project are in the instructions in the PDF attached to this blog... If you would like to reproduce... You could make these for gifts for teachers.. for birthdays or just for thank you's...

I found this fantastic idea and was inspired by Franz - www.franz-z-blog.blogspot.com.au ... I changed the measurements slightly...


 

This Wooden Block Christmas Perpetual Calendar  was another hit.. It was pretty easy to make although we did come up with a better way to cover the blocks.. Rather than trying to sand off the excess we learned that it is MUCH quicker to use a craft knife to cut off the excess and then to sand the edges...

My talented Hubbie made the blocks and the stands...
We were so grateful for this GORGEOUS project!!!










The little Mini Jingle Bells are so cute as holly Berries.. and the fine silver thread is just such a nice touch to embellish it a little more...  If you stick the embellishment onto a wooden peg you can change it to something else with ease.





Christmas EXPLOSION Box ... This was fun to make.. a little intricate but could you imagine your loved ones of friends opening it up to find all the wonderful pockets full of pictures and journaling...













Here's a close up of the BEAUTIFUL tag on the outside of the box made with our lovely new Cheerful Tag Framelets... 141838




This is the Box opened up.. It's pretty impressive when you take off the lid and it all folds out..

If you wanted to you could also take out the inserts and put them into a scrapbook album no problem... 

Here is some photos of the individual inserts










And a close up of the Christmas tree...






















I LOVE this Jolly Jumper Card.. How cute is he??
Punch Art is always my favorite things to do with paper craft.. .. and this little CUTIE is made from only 2 punches... (Cookie Cutter Builder 40396 and Jolly Hat Builder 141847) TOO EASY.. FANTASTIC for us AUSSIES!!!  A little Kangaroo!!!


Here is the instructions for how to make this little cutie!!!!

The original Punch Art was created by Carolyn Bennie - www.carolynbennie.com....

I love that Stampin Up demos share their FANTASTIC Creations.. So we can all look super talented and creative!!!
Here is a list of the products I used for these projects... if you don't have all of them you can always substitute... I did do a lot of prep for this class almost everything was cut out and ready for my customers as I knew it was an ADVANCED class... But it was so worth it.. Everyone went home feeling uplifted and feeling that they had made some BEAUTIFUL projects.. Money and time well spent.. for the day of FUN... Plus we supported a worthy cause and as always Satmpin' Up sported us with a FANTASTIC box of Product to raffle off...

We had 7 ladies attend and 4 who couldn't make the day and purchased the kits to take home.. So with our botique class we raised a total of $120... A fantastic effort...
