Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

3 Dec
Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Hello and happy holidays!  I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season.  This week we have started focusing on Christmas projects at The Cutting Cafe.  We had a few files to choose from but I chose this cute Christmas Shapes Milk Carton!  It was so easy to do and can hold different kinds of treats or just look cute on your desk or shelf for decoration.

I used old DCWV paper and chipboard snowflakes and tag.  The large snowflake at the top is a chipboard piece from last year’s dollar bin at Michaels which I sprayed with Heidi Swapp tinsel color spray and added additional bling.  I backed the cutout with silver glitter paper.  There are actually many different shaped cutouts you can choose from.  I like the way it turned out.  Here are a few more views…

There are many wonderful Christmas box files and other projects from the design team will feature the Stocking Box and the Candy Cane Box Set.  There is also a set of Christmas Bag Toppers that you can use.  Head on over to the blog on tomorrow afternoon to see all of the design team projects.  Make sure you leave a comment as each week a name is drawn from the previous week’s post comments.  The winner gets three free files of their choice.

Also, a design team call is open.  If you would like to be a part of the team, here is the information.  You have until December 15th!  Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by!  Before you go, here is my video…

2012 Christmas Trees

27 Dec

My husband and I love Christmas and decorating for it.  We usually put up anywhere from 2-6 full-sized trees and a few miniature trees.  I also usually do a 3 ft. tree in my office at work.  This year we only had time to get up four trees so I thought I would share.  Next year we are going to decorate a small 3 ft. tree with ornaments made from my Christmas paper stacks!  I have to put all my stash to use after all!

Christmas Cards 2012 and Merry Christmas to You!

24 Dec

WOW!  The past few days have been crazy busy.  I waited until the last minute to do cards and I did 50 of them in two days!  That is the fastest I have ever made cards.  Dimensional stickers and glitter tape were my friends this season.  I was able to make some very quick cards with these two items.  I wanted to share a few of the cards I made and the two videos I posted on YouTube.  Thanks for visiting and you have a Merry Christmas!
