I Brake for Rudolph!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing one final Christmas card. 

I made this for my daughter.

She's away at school and will be home by the end of the week but I know how she likes to get mail so this will go in the mailbox Monday morning.

I've used the reindeer from

I just love bling so I added some Wink of Stella to his nose (though it doesn't show well in the photo) and some yellow stickles to the stars.  He has the cutest face ever!!

I Brake For Snowmen!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a wintry card with you.  Not all cards like this have to be for Christmas.  I think this could easily be a birthday card for someone with a winter birthday.  It's also perfect as a hello for someone you don't always get to see.

I've used two stamps from I Brake For Stamps.

SNOWMEN TEXT

HOLIDAY SQUARES SET OF 4

I trimmed around the snowman because I only wanted him to be "peeking" from the side of the card.  I almost felt like the verse was the star of this card along with the snowflakes.  The snowman is just the end result of the falling snow.

Edith brakes for WINE!!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a wine gift box that I made. 

It holds two of the little single serve bottles.

I used 3 different stamps on it...all from I Brake For Stamps!

HOLIDAY SQUARES SET OF 4

WINE GETS BETTER

SANTA'S ELF, EDITH

The fun sentiment says "Wine gets better with age...i get better with wine"

I made a very similar box a few days ago and people have been asking how I made it so I decided to recreate it and make a tutorial to go along with it.

Supplies:

One 12x12 sheet of cardstock

patterned paper

stamps and embellishments of your choice

glue or double sided tape

  Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 3"x6"

One piece 4 3/4" x 6"

One piece 4 3/4" x 9"

Score the 2 larger pieces at the 2" mark across the width.

Score the side pieces at the 2" mark across the width and 1/2" on each side length wise.

Cut the patterned paper.

Two pieces 2"x 3 7/8"

One piece 4 1/2" x 3 3/4"

One piece 4 1/2" x  8 3/4"

Glue the printed paper onto the cardstock above the score line.

On the two small side panels I cut a notch so that I could fold it.

Glue the side panels where the notch was.

Now they're ready to glue the front and back on.

Adhere the front panel by placing the sides on it and carefully lining them up.

Here it is with both sides glued to the front.

Now you can place the back panel inside.  The place where it's scored will be on the inside bottom and will help reinforce the bottom by adding another layer.

Now you're ready to decorate it!
