Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 4-1/2" x 6" of one of the designs from Painted Christmas 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" square from Basic White Cardstock
Pick out the pillowbox die from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. Put it on top of the designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Fold the box cut out on the straight line across the center of the box bottom pieces only.
Put a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the inside of one of the slightly curved edges on each side of the box bottom. Remove the protective backings and adhere the two sides of the bottom of the box together to make a pouch. Keep the Tear & Tape Adhesive as close to the outside edges as possible to give you move room to insert something into the pouch created.
As you are ready to stamp using the stamps in the Love, Santa Tag Kit, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "special delivery" sentiment from the Love, Santa Tag Kit on the block. Ink it up using the Night Of Navy Ink Spot in the kit. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the long skinny piece of white cardstock.
Pick out the long, skinny label with rounded ends die from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered top to bottom in the die and slightly closer to the right side. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out to the center of the front of the pouch.
Mount the gift image from the Love, Santa Tag Kit on the block. Ink it up using the Night Of Navy Ink Spot in the kit. Stamp the gift in the center of the square of white cardstock.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the stamped gift by hand.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional from the Love, Santa Tag Kit to adhere the gift cut out to the front of the pouch at a slight angle so it overlaps the upper left side of the sentiment label cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Real Red 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot from the Love, Santa Tag Kit to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the pouch so it is right below the gift cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a gem from the Love, Santa Tag Kit making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the right end of the sentiment label cut out.
Insert handmade tags or some other small treat (wrapped cookie, gift card, jewelry on card, wrapped candy, etc.) into the pouch and give it to someone to make them smile!
