So Cameo Blue

Here is an example using one of this month's cardstock combos: So Saffron, Cameo Coral and Ballet Blue.



A customer sent a request to see if I knew how to make a silverware holder she had seen on a display at a local craft store.

So this is what I came up with.

How to:
Cut cardstock in half (hotdog style) at 4 1/4". Now have (2) 4 1/4x11" pieces.

Score @ 7" and 7 1/4".

Flip cardstock over and score @ 1"

To create the pocket, I attached two small pieces of Sticky Strip in each corner.

Decorate.

Super easy way to dress up a table.

I used Ballet Blue, Cameo Coral and So Saffron CS. Ruby Red ink. Animal Stories stamp set, another set that can be chosen as a FREE SAB choice when you order $50.00 or more.

Here are the directions to make the adorable Witch's Hat treat box. Now be nice--this is my first tutorial! Let me know if you have any questions.

Suppies needed:
Cardstock
Trimmer
bone folder
ruler or straight edge
SU! grid paper
hole punch
Ribbon
Stamps and such to decorate

1. Cut a 4x11" strip CS.
2. Mark each end at the 2" mark.

3. Fold cs in half.
4. Using straight edge, score from fold line to center mark on both ends.


(note: lines were drawn for visual only)


5. Flip over and stamp.
6. Flip over again and fold all score marks using bone folder to get crisp lines. You will see the box shape take form.

7. for Hat brim, cut a 1x7: strip. Stamp as needed.
8. Mark strip 2 inches from each end. Cut from corner to mark on diagonal.


9. attach to create brim. Add strip of DSP to decorate. Punch out "buckle" using the Curly Label punch (pg. 187, $15.95). Cut a small square and attach to buckle.




10. Punch holes at top of box. Thread ribbon through. Fill with treats, gift cards, coupons---the possiblities are endless!



Have fun!
