It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

 Christmas decorations and the tree are all up, it snowed this weekend...finally it's looking like Christmas.  We don't get much snow here in Boise, so it's always a treat when it actually stays on the ground for a while.  The only downside is it came Saturday and if it was Friday we probably would have had a snow day from school!  *Ü*

 
For the first few hours after decorating the animals always have to check things out.  Sarah has taken up residency under the tree to watch it snow outside.
 
 
Eric has taken a real liking to these little trees...and all things fake schubbery actually!  He has a branch he LOVES!
 
 
He lays for hours and loves all over this fake evergreen I used for the photos in the 12 Days of Christmas.  Silly cat!
 

Finally the day she's been waiting for...SNOW!!!  She loves to bury her ball in the snow and dig it up for hours and hours on end.  You would think her feet would be freezing - but the love for the ball and snow wins!

Suzanne Barnard from Australia send me a picture of her creations from the 12 Days of Christmas 2013 tutorial.  She has created the Book of Lists from Day 5 and  the Tray of Boxes from Day 7.  Looks awesome Suzanne, thanks for sharing a photo!!

Merry Little Coffee Cups



It's hard to tell the size and scale of things in a picture, so I'll start by telling you these are tiny taster size cups. 
Top Diameter: 2 1/2"
Bottom Diameter: 1 3/4"
Height: 2 3/8"
You've seen them on my blog before,

here, but today I'm going to show you how to make this cute little carrier for them.
 
 
The cups and lids are from www.webstaurantstore.com.
 
Cups - 4oz. Paper Hot Cup 50/ $2.89 order number is 9994W
 
Lids - 4oz. Hot Paper Cup Travel Lid White $4.39 Order number is 999L4W
 

 
So cute with candy or hot chocolate, marshmallows and chocolate shavings, tea bags...the possibilities are endless!  The handle leaves enough room on each side to tuck a gift card in. *Ü*


 
I used Chocolate Chip cardstock.   
  1. Box is 4" x 6-3/4".  Score all 4 sides at 1". 
  2. Cut on two opposite sides of the score lines up to the intersecting score line. 
  3. Cut the corners off on the diagonal to avoid any pesky hang overs and then assemble into a box.
  4. Handle is 1-7/8" x 11".  Score at 1-1/2", 5-1/2" and 9-1/2".  Fold in half and secure with adhesive.
  5. Use the small oval punch to make an hole for carrying.
  6. Fold the flaps out and secure to the inside of the box with Sticky Strip.
 

 
The Designer Series Paper for the outside of the box are cut to (2) 4-1/2" x 3/4" and (2) 1-3/4" x 3/4".


I added the Merry with the Expressions Thinlits to the front, tied up with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and some tiny jingle bells.

Team Tuesday


 
This week I'd like to introduce you to Inking Everything team member, Chris Twing who blogs at For The Love of Paper.
 
 
 Chris has created for us a Star Mini Book Album just in time to show for Christmas gift giving.  This is a great way to showcase picture gifts for loved one and Chris has a video tutorial on the project HERE.
 
 
Chris is new again to Stampin' Up! and I'm so excited she's back!  Some of you who have stamped with me for a long time may remember, December 2010, when I used Chris' idea for the coffee cups for one of my creative gift packaging ideas.
 
 
Later this week I can't wait to show you this same project in miniature!!!
