First off I have to say this is a 100% case from the NEW STAMPIN UP CATALOGUE!!!!! Yes, you read it correctly, I have my new catalogue!!! I saw this and right away thought I have to make this for my Grandma for Christmas! (Did I mention from the new catalogue???)
Sorry, okay back on task here! I made her 10 cards with matching envelopes in this super cute little box. I will wrap it in cellophane, tie it with the matching chocolate grosgrain and make a mini 3x3 card with Baroque Motifs and Snowflakes as part of her gift this year.
Recipe:
Colours: Soft Sky, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip
Stamps: Baroque Motifs (just for you Cindy and Christie!)
Other: Chocolate Grosgrain, Tag Punch, Vintage Eyelet, Vanilla Taffeta
The box is simply made from a 12x12 sheet of celery. I scored it at 3, 7.5 and cut it off at 10.5. (same dimensions in both directions) I cut off the corcer tabs (so you make a addition sign or "the plus sign" as Mark says) and fold the sides up. I taped on the Soft Sky top piece and the ribbon and voila a box to hold the cards and envelopes!!!
Back to the whole new catalogue thing....I think I'll be casing a bunch of things from this catalogue there are some super cute samples! Let me know what you think!
I had decided to CASE the catalog too! Lots of cute stuff this time and lots of GREAT setiment sets I thought. But, I didn't see this little box and now I am going to CASE your CASE!! :)

Wow I love that project, it's great. I'm so jealous of people that can just whip up a pattern based on a picture. I so wish I was that good!!! LOL Thanks for sharing, I'll be stalking for the pattern! :)
