Supplies:

Getting Fresh by Eva Kipler

White Light Weight and Cardstock weight paper

Colored cardstock to match project

Trimmer with scoring blade

Double stick tape

Hot cocoa packets

Scissors

Ribbon

Color Printer

Corner Rounder

High Backed Box Directions

1.      Prepare the back piece, accent wrap around, decorations and cocoa wrap around in your photo editing software using the following sizes .  Clip from your favorite papers and then paste on to one master 8.5×11” printing sheet.

Back piece –3 ¾” x 5 ¼”

Front Wrap Around – 2” x 8” 

Cocoa Wrappers (4) – 1 ¼  x 8”

Optional – additional decorations (mine are the bird, text box for front of box and 4 circles for the front of the cocoa packets.)

 Here is how my sheet was laid out so that all the non-optional pieces printed together on light weight paper.  I printed my optional pieces on cardstock to they would be a bit stronger.

 2.      Score your cardstock for folding and cutting.  Using a paper trimmer with a scoring blade turn your paper so the 8.5” side is going through the score/trim area.  Score at ¼”, 2 ¼”, 6 ¼” and 8 ¼”.  Turn paper so that 10” side is going through the score/trim area.  Trim off 1 inch from the end.  Then score at 5 ½” and 7 ½”.

Here is a picture of where all the score lines go – I’ve added pink pencil to the lines so they stand out.

3.      Cutting – starting at the 2 ¼” score line, cut up to the 5 ½” horizontal score line.  You will be removing a 2 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of cardstock.   Repeat step on the right side of the paper so it looks like this below.

4.      Use a corner rounder to round the back of the box you just created in step 3.

 5.      Fold the box as shown in the picture.  Apply back panel to inside of box as pictured.  Flip box over and apply the decorative front panel to the box as pictured.

6.      Assemble box using double stick tape.  Add your decorations to the front panel and it’s complete!

Cocoa Wrappers

1. Cut a piece of color cardstock in to two 3 ¾” x 10” pieces.
2. Score at 5” on the 10” side.
3. On one of the smaller ends of the cut piece punch out ½ a 1 ½” circle.
4. Fold the paper in half and insert cocoa packet inside.
5. Wrap the cocoa wrapper around the packet and secure on the back.
6. Decorate the front of the wrapper and add some ribbon to the top of the cocoa packet (I stapled on some yellow ribbon).
7. Tuck your cocoa packets into the box and your ready to give your gift. The box will hold 4 packets of cocoa.

Finished Cocoa Wrappers

I have quite a few new things this week.  First off I had the pleasure of working with Traci Reed for the first time this past week.  Together we made a fabulous kit called What I Like About Me.  It can be used for “All About Me” pages or pages about any individual.  There are TONS of fabulous ellies, 4 different colors of the gorgeous alpha, 12 patterned papers, and 8 solids papers.

Next up I have my 2010 Calendar Sets in the store!  I know many of you wait for my calendar pages and now the wait is over!  This year instead of just doing the “toppers” I also did a CD Album Version and a fabulous Jack Chipboard Album Version (designed to fit Cosmo Cricket’s Jack Chipboard Album).

I am here today to inspire you.  Eva said I couldn’t use her blog to inspire you to vote for me in 2012 though, so I guess I’ll have to dish out some scrapping inspiration instead.  Hey, anything for the team.

My FAVORITE kit by Eva is “It’s All Good”… I love everything about it but especially the warm, snuggly color palette.  It’s perfect for fall pics, if you ask me (not that you did).  So let’s take a gander:

By the uber-cool “Sonka” (tuneskids)

Sassy Kate (knchevys) made this

And I found this by the sweet miss Kristin (SmallMoments)

Feeling inspired yet?  I know I am! WOOT!

Scrap it up,

Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!

This week I have chosen a stunning layout by Priscilla which showcases my newest kit (Warm Your Heart by Eva Kipler and Julie Billingsley).  I love this layout for lots of reasons, but most of all I admire Priscilla’s creativity with her use of elements and papers.  Just look how she used ribbons to frame her photo!  I love that!  Great work, Priscilla!  If you want to check out Priscilla’s gallery over at Sweet Shoppe Designs, just click on the image below.
