Christmas Lifesaver Packs

 

I remember when I was a kid getting a Lifesaver Sweet Storybook for Christmas. The Lifesavers rolls were each different... 5 rolls per side. Nowadays, they still sell the Lifesaver storybook.... BUT... it has only 6 rolls in it and all the rolls are the same.

So, for a cute little nostalgia for me and my siblings.... I decided to create my own lifesaver pack with different flavor rolls in each! Cool huh!

I started with a plain white piece of cardstock 10.25x 5.75. I scored it on the 1", 4.75", 5.75" and 9.5" (lengthwise) and 1", 4.75" (widthwise). I cut on each score line (lengthwise) until the first score line (each side). Widthwise, I only cut to the first score line on the .75 end.

I used scrap Christmas DSP (Designer Series Paper) to decorate each side. The squares were a 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" and the ends were 3 7/8 x 7/8". I then rounded the edges for the box ends, so they could be tucked in easier.

I attached the 'Seasonal Chums' tag to each box top after coloring it in with the new Stampin Blends markers.  I do have to say that I love using them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Primrose Gift Box

I've wanted to try my hand at two projects that I've seen on the Stampin' Connection website from two very talented crafters.

The first is from Cristena Bagne and her box tutorial.  I used most of her dimensions, but I shortened mine to 6" in height instead of 8.5".  Her tutorial can be found here: http://gettincraftyclasses.ning.com/forum/topics/summer-time-gift-box-preview-video-5

The second is from Erin Mise and her Ornamental Rose tutorial. Her tutorial can be found here: http://www.shescraftycrew45.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
