Toile Tidings Large Chocolate Truffle Box

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the Large Chocolate Truffle Box that I made during last nights Facebook Live.  I do a Facebook Live each Wednesday at 8 pm CST on my Facebook Business Page.  This is a large box that's holds a half a  bag of Lintz or Moser Roth Truffles.  This box measures 7" x 2" x 2", so you can see it's a great size for gift giving.  For my project today I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box.  Here's a look at my project.

As I mentioned I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box today.  The base of the box was made with cardstock.  I used either Real Red or Garden Green for the base and then the other color for the mats for the designer series paper.  I used the same color of the box base for the designer series paper.  With the Toile Tidings it was super easy to pick which color to use.  There are only three colors in the designer series paper; Very Vanilla, Real Red, and Garden Green.  The same pattern is on each side of the paper but in either Very Vanilla and Real Red or Very Vanilla and Garden Green so it makes creating super easy.

The Real Red version was the first one that I made for my Facebook Live.  I used the 1" Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie the box close.  This box uses one full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to make the base.  I scored the base cardstock on the short side at (on the 8 1/2" side) at 2, 4, 6, and 8.  On the long side (11" side) I scored at 2" and 9".

The box was decorated with three pieces of cardstock (cut at 6 3/4 x 1 3/4) for the front, top, and back.  The two side mats were cut at 1 3/4 x 1 3/4.  The Designer Series Paper for the box was cut at 6 1/2 x 1 1/2" (you need three) and 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (you need two).  To add a little more decoration I used ribbon to secure it close.  I used the Garden Green Double Stitched Ribbon and the Very Vanilla & Copper Classic Weave Ribbon on the Garden Green Box.

Holiday Argyle Christmas Tree Window Card - Sneak Peek Country Club Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a fun little holiday card that uses some products from the upcoming January-June Mini Catalog, as well as some Holiday Catalog Products.  I created today's card with the Country Club Designer Series Paper and the Argyle 3d Embossing folder, along with the Pine Tree Punch.  Yes, I am using the Country Club Paper for my card I love the Argyle pattern print in this fun pack of paper, and I think it's perfect for a fun little Christmas Card.  Here's a look at my card today.

This is a super fun card and I think that anyone would love to get it in the mail.  The argyle pattern is just a fun playful pattern and adds so much fun to this card.  I paired the argyle with the copper foil to add a little shine to the card.  The Ho Ho Ho came from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set which matches the Pine Tree Punch.

Christmastime is Here Square Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a super cute square card that I made the other night during a YouTube Live.  I used the Christmastime is Here Suite of Products.  Which came out on November 1, 2019 and is while supplies last (as of this post the products are still available to purchase.)  Here's a look at my card.

I based this card from a sketch that I found in the November 2019 Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine.  You can change this up to make a full size card and make some super quick extra Christmas Cards if you need some.  I used a 2 1/4, 2 and 1 1/2" circle punches to punch out the circles from the designer series paper.
