The Favor Boxes

Well I am getting a little tired of Red, Black& white but I am loving how things are turning out...I have been sewing for few daysa and making these favor boxes..I used the embassy black Cardstock at walmart 3.97 cents for 50 sheets..I used my Gypsy to layout 2 boxes from the Weddings Solution Cart to cut on one sheet., then I used my Expression to cutthem out. For a little more than 3.97, I got 100 boxes! A pretty cute favor at a great price...

The red is from a 5 color basic Paper Co package at Michaels and the White is GP white Walmart...the transparencies are from my stash...I used my SU 1 1/4" circle punch to cut red and white circles and cut them in half on my paper trimmer and I cut the transparencies at 1 5/8" square on my trimmer...cut 5 strips and then trimmed all five strips to 1 5/8" at one time...it worked really well, I have about 100 with white circles glued in place and about 25 of those have the transparencies in them. Next I will score all the lines folds, then I will make 50-100 with the red circle pieces if I feel like it..The DD's will assemble them and fill them with red, black and white M&M's and Nuts when they get home from college and after the Christmas clebrations...

Until Latere...Happy Stamping!

Snowman Box Tower

Last week Holly aka
"Toy" on SCS posted the cutest Snowman tower on her blog really you should check hers out because it is wonderful and I think She did a much better job than I did making her tags and Cards. I also noticed today she made another box this week of a Santa, (He's very cute too...hopefully I will be able to make one of them too!) When I first saw the snowman I immediately thought of several people I would like to make one for. I finished up my Monday projects and I worked on 6 of them all day Tues., I waited for the "Wedding Dress" to show up in the mail.

I used similar colors but different products than she did when I made mine. They do take a little bit of time to make. I wanted to show them to you yesterday, but DD called on Tues. evening wanting 50 more wedding announcements so I had to make 30 of them yesterday, before I could finish up. The most amazing part of it all is that I actually made all of these snowmen using up my Stash...I didnt have to buy anything...except some M&M's.
