Snowy Scenes pattern papers
A fun way to use up your pattern paper in your stash is to make and or decorate treat/ gift boxes. There are lots of fun tutorials/ ideas out there to choose from. Today's post is a quick tutorial for a cute rocking box made using the Snowy Scenes papers and the Snowy Wonder dies.
It all starts by making the box part. Take a piece of cardstock measuring 19cm x 17cm. Score at 5cm, 8cm, 13 cm and 16cm on the short side. Then score at 5cm, 13cm and 18cm along the longer side. ( diagram not to scale)
Next follow the cutting guide below. ( diagram not to scale)
Below is a photo of the final piece.Then adhere the 1cm panel to the opposite side to create a tube. Then fold the 2 long sides in at the bottom. Next secure the 2 short sides to give a nice strong base to your box.
The lid end of the box is the end that had the notch taken out on the narrow side of the box . This will mean that the box is easier to open when decorated.
Choose your snow globe from the Snowy Scenes paper and die cut out using the Snowy Wonder dies. Also cut 4 of both parts of the globe and stand out of cardstock to coordinate with your box.
Use a small piece of tape to secure 2 of the cardstock globe and base pieces together. Then adhere the other pieces to the back covering the tape. You'll now have 2 snow globe shaped pieces made up of 2 layers each.
Next adhere the paper pieces on to the front of one of them. This is the front decoration of the box.
Now on the reverse side carefully adhere your box making sure that it lines up just above the curved edge of the snow globe base. Once secure repeat with the other side. You can decorate this side to but it also works as a place to write a message.
The finished box is now a rocking snow globe box!
The recipient of the box are certain to have a smile almost as much as I did designing it 🤣

Snowy Wonder contemporary Christmas card
Hi 👋 welcome to my blog if you're new here I'm Cary and I just love to share what I love doing ... making cards with stamps, paper, ink and embellishments. I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrators here in the country of West Sussex in the UK . If you've been here before thank you for popping back it's great to have you.
On Saturday I held a World Card Making Day event and we used the amazing A Little Bit Festive speciality paper pack. This fun pack has both pattern paper and die cut sheets in lovely designs. The colour palette of the pack is predominantly traditional Christmas reds and green. Everyone loved using this great product it makes making card so easy!
After all that traditional Christmas I felt the need to create something a little different for today! So today I'm sharing a fun card using the Snowy Wonder bundle of stamps and coordinating dies in a less traditional colour palette.
Shades of teal and soft pink is where my mind went to when thinks of what to make for today's inspiration. So here it is...
The snow flake elements also add a little something with out being over the top. These ones are White Loose Snowflakes that are great for shakers but can be used by placing a small dab of liquid adhesive onto the card and then carefully placing the Snowflakes on top. Give the glue a minute to grab and they're good to go!
I do hope you like today's card . Please join me next time when I'll be sharing more samples to inspire you.
