Assembling the Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration

Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration

Love how this little tree-shaped decoration with the pull-down drawer mechanism turned out!  It's ready to dispense a holiday treat! The Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration design can be found at the Silhouette Design store HERE.

Here is how you assemble it:
Fold all the perforated score lines up, flip over and add adhesive to all the tabs as shown.


Begin assembling the box....


Flip over....  Keep going!







Cut the little drawer covers in your choice of colours and add them to the front of the pull down drawer.


Assemble the boxes in a tree shape.  Add ribbon pulls to each drawer.
Fold the star and adhere back to back at the top.  Apply the on-lay in your choice of colours. 
Fill and enjoy!

Easy Christmas Cards with the Twiggy Wreath Monogram Font

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with two Christmas cards I created using the Twiggy Wreath Monogram font designed by Suzanne Cannon and available in the Silhouette Design store.  Super easy and super quick!!






Just print the word Joy onto cardstock and embellish with pens and fine glitter glue to add colour and texture.  Mat on one or more layers of cardstock, put onto a card base and you're done.  Try printing with or on different colours.  White cardstock is handy but I think the kraft looks kind of classy.  Wasn't that easy?   Merry Christmas!!

Supplies Used:  cardstock, Twiggy Wreath Monogram font, Sakura gel pens, Rangers Stickles glitter glue, Close to My Heart embossing folder, cheesecloth.

Robyn barely here recovering from Thanksgiving food coma and advent decoration frenzy!
My Son outlaw's nickname is bear-as in the brown variety

Hanging Ornament Boxes

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here with you today...sharing two fun Christmas ornaments.
I have used both the
Snowflake Mittens Hanging Ornament Box,
and the Christmas Star Hanging Ornament Box

We'll begin with the cute Mittens one:


Isn't that cute? 
The photo below shows all the cut pieces.


It's such a cool design, and really easy to put together.
You begin by adhering the sides and the bottom of the box.
Then you adhere the red mittens to the insert piece,
and then adhere the mitten cuffs in place on the red mittens.


Next, you slide the insert into the box, and slip the sides into the slots.
It's almost finished already!
Now all you have to do is adhere the top flaps in place, over the loops.


I really like how the insert sides poke out of the box sides.
I used the red snowflakes that were cut out of the mittens
as extra embellishments on the box.


Here's the back of the ornament.
It looks exactly like the front!


Now here's the Christmas Star Ornament:


I went a different way with the paper choices on this one.
I thought the star paper, and the shade of green would work perfectly with the fabulous new
Acanthus Teal Gilding Powder.


This Ornament Box is put together the same way as the last one.
It has a star layer, which I heat embossed in Acanthus Teal,
before adhering it in place on the insert.


The lovely embossing turns this into a very elegant Christmas Star Ornament Box!
