Top Note Box

I made this cute little Top Note Box and used the little horse and Santa Sleigh stamp from the Stamp Set; Yuletide Christmas that Judy gave me (thanks so much Sis')..stamped with Soft Suede Stamp Pad. I used Christmas Cocoa DSP to cover cardboard (I used the backing that comes with the long die cuts for packing), cut one edge so it would be straight and attached to the front and back of the little pizza box I made with Soft Suede CS and used the Small Oval Punch to punch out the stamped image and layered onto a piece of Soft Suede CS punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. I used Wide Double Stitched Blue Grosgrain Ribbon around the box and tied into a bow. The tutorial came from Splitcoast Stampers.

Christmas Creations 2009

I made some gift card holders and a tag...used the Designer Specialty Paper Christmas Cocoa. Scallop Circle, Top Note Die, Christmas Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations Stamp Set along with Red CS and Soft Suede ink for sponging. The tag was punched with the Bigz Two Tag Die and the ribbon is the White Satin and there is a brad on the tag from the Pretties Kit and silver stretch cord for hangers. I got the Top Note Die idea from Inking Idaho and the other envelope looking idea from somebody's blog, but for the life of me I can't find it (so sorry) ~
