When
we were little we put out nuts candy and carrots for Santa and the
Reindeer! So I thought I’d combine that
Christmas tradition with non-traditional Christmas colors, this time Bermuda
Bay with the Merry Little Christmas
Paper.
So
you make 3 boxes – easy peasy
– cut the paper 10 ½ x 5, score on the long side 2 ½, 5, 7, 10 and 2 ½ on the
short side.
Fold and burnish. Trim the tab off the corner that is ½ x 2 ½. Cut the tabs up and notch 2 of the tabs. Make into a box.
The
tray is from Basic Black 9 x 3 ¾ - score at ½ on each side. I almost made mine in sliver foil.
The
lid is 4 1/16 square for a tighter fit and 4 1/8 square for a looser lid. Score at ¾ on each edge. Trim the tabs, notch and make into a lid.
The
designer paper is 2 ¼ x 2 ¼. At first I
didn’t really like the black and white paper, but now I really love it! It
pairs with the traditional reds and greens and also the non-traditional colors
as well. And you can sponge or spritz it
any color.
The
last step on your lid is to poke a hole with your paper piercing tool. Not too big.
Now push an ornament into the hole, it’s tight but you want it that way. Ever since I did this with the Candy
dispenser (see Day 1) I’ve been using these ornaments for all kinds of
decorations!
I
filled my boxes with Lindt chocolate balls.
Do you love the scoop? So cute, I
found mine on Amazon – search “mini scoop” and you’ll see these wooden one, or
clear or metal. The wooden ones are $1
each (10 for $10). I thought they really
added something to this project.
Last
of all I cut a piece of Whisper White 2 x 2 ½, folded in half and stamped Santa
from the Oh What Fun set (mask the “from” with post it notes) and put on the
ink pad, remove the post it notes and you have “Santa”.
Happy Stamping MaryKate
