Week 8 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

I greatly apologize for the delay in posting week 8 of the 12 weeks of Christmas.  I have been experiencing downloading difficulties.  I am hoping to have these difficulties resolved by this week.  Thankfully we still have enough time to make it through the 12 weeks before Christmas arrives.  Thank you for your patience.

This week's project uses the Clear Tiny Treat boxes, designer paper and a few embellishments to create a WOW project to give to your friends and family.  I think this box would be a great addition to your dinner table this Christmas season as a gift for all of your guests to take home with them.   You can fill this fun box with treats or even a small gift.  Off the top of my head, besides food or candy treats,  I'm thinking jewelry, bath fizzies, a candle, a small toy...what would you put in it? 

I have listed the supplies used, paper sizes and score lines below, but be sure to click on the link below to watch step by step instructions on my You Tube video.

Coffee Cafe' Bundle from Stampin' Up!

Coffee Anyone?

Today's post isn't about a card.  It's actually about a craft fair project I am working on.  I have been in Florida for about a year and a half, and I  have finally found an indoor craft fair.  Paper does not do well with wind, rain and humidity.  And chances are, there's going to be one of those on any given day. 

I found some cute coffee scented candles at the store recently, and they smell delicious.  And they are so cute with the dome lid. I immediately thought of the Coffee Cafe Bundle and how cute this would be as a craft show item, or as a gift for someone you know who loves to drink those fun coffees that all the baristas are making.  In case you haven't seen this set, here it is:

 

 

 

Isn't it great?  There is also coordinating designer paper and some cute little corrugated elements that match this set.   I think this set is going to be great during the holidays to create a gift card holder for all of the special people in our lives.  I'm thinking mail carrier, teachers, co workers....But more on that later.  Check out what I did with the candles:

 

I created a box for the candle to sit in using cardstock and designer paper to decorate the edges.  I used the framelits and stamps to create a tag that attaches directly to the candle, and then one that I tied onto the gift bag.  I completed the look by cutting a paper straw in half and placing it inside the hole of the lid. What do you think?    Is this a gift that you would like to receive?   I hope the people at the craft show love this idea as much as I do. 

Here are the items that I used to create my project:

• Coffee Cafe Bundle (includes stamp set and framelits) item #145331
• Coffee Break Designer Series Paper item #144155
• Espresso Cardstock  item #119686
• Jute Twine item #144625
• Garden Green ink and Espresso Ink
