Decorating is a piece of cake!

As I decorate my home .... I wanted to share with all of you one of my favorite Christmas projects!  These are simple and easy to make!

Perfect for decorating, practical for jewelry, gift cards, or other small gifts - these are a snap to make!  Get a jump start on your gift giving by making a whole bunch of these!  Ribbon keeps them tied closed and you can even "disguise" your gifts as ornaments and hang them on your tree.   Try these with your scraps of designer series paper - you'll need a piece that is 4 in. x 10 in.   You can get 3 of these boxes out of a sheet of 12 x 12 paper.   You could make these out of cardstock and stamp your design also.   I used two different pattterns from the Holiday Treasures dsp paper from Stampin' Up!.

• Cut your paper to 4 in x 10 in.  Crease in the middle at the 5 in mark.  

• Make a little tick mark for yourself at the 2 in. mark at the top and bottom (halfway on the 4 in. border side).  Use your scor tool, scor pal or a ruler with your bone folder

• Make a score that run diagonally from on of the 2 in. tick marks on the short edge to the top of the score going down the middle (5 in.)  Then start again at the 2 in. tic mark, but score diagonally to the other end of the middle score.  Flip your paper and do it again. 

• You should end up with two trinagles scored into your rectangle.

• Embellish with your choice of stamps, paper, ribbon, etc.  I used the stamp from Winter Post stamp set that coordinates with the label punch.  And some delciious felt flurries. 

• I used my crop-o-dile (which I LOVE!) to punch the holes in the sides for the ribbon- Riding Hood Red taffeta.
