Holiday Ideas Day 10

Today Studio Getaway has 2 more videos for you. Both are showing how to make treat boxes! The first shows how to make a tree shaped treat box which is cut on the Cricut machine using Tags, Bags Boxes & More, Evergreen BoBunny Paper, and acetate (aka transparency sheets). I also use Terrifically Tacky Tape, a storng adhesive with a removeable red liner (aka Red Line Tape).
The second box used the same supplies, but is handmade rather than cut on the Cricut. Both are incredibly easy to assemble!

Holiday Ideas Day 9

Can you believe we are on day 9 already? Today Getaway Girl Skye (that's me) makes a card using the Cuttlebug machine, snowflake stencils, Glimmer Mist, ink, cardstock, and more! One of my favorite items I use in the video is Core'dinations cardstock, which has a core color which “core’dinates” with the surface color. You can show the "core" color by sanding, tearing or embossing.
Today's video is in 2 parts!


The font I used for the greeting is called Christmas Cheer and can be found here. I used the dingbat for letter "p" at 150pt in my word processing program.

Holiday Ideas Day 3

Do you have several photos or recipes to share with family or friends this year?Shawn is presenting another great ideas for holiday giving today. She will walk you through creating a book with envelope pockets, perfect for storing photos or recipes!
She is using cardstock from My Little Yellow Bicycle's 25 Days of Christmas Line.



For the outer cover of the book, you will need 2 pieces of cardstock, each scored at 6.25 inches and 6.75. Shawn used eight A2 sized envelopes to create the accordian portion inside the book. The band around the book is 2.5 inches wide and 12 inches long, scored at 2.25, 2.75, 9, and 9.5 inches, measuring from the left side of the band. The base square for the band is 3 inches and the top square is 2.5 inches.
