Christmas Petal Cone

This is one of the boxes (could you call this a box?) we will be making at my Gift Boxes class in December.  It’s made with the Petal Cone and Snow Flurry die.  I had a hard time getting the Bashful Blue to photograph and still look Bashful.  There are lots of sweet little details on this pouch, but the photo just would not cooperate with me.  Hugs, Fran

Rolling Along

Cased from a card that was shown at Convention, this was so fun to do!

I used 3/4″ wide strips of Snow Festival Designer Series paper (cut at various lengths) and rolled them around a bamboo skewer.  Then I sprayed the entire front with Shimmer (alcohol and shimmer frost ink)spray.  It sparkles! And since I was watching the election results – and it was a long night – I continued rolling –

Here’s a few hints – I used glue to adhere them – but I’d recommend a glue gun unless you’re very patient.   Draw your Christmas tree triangle on your grid paper or a piece of copy paper first.  That will help you determine how long to cut each strip.  Find any and everything sparkly in your stash to decorate your tree. 

Hugs, Fran
