PSC56:Piece it Together

    Welcome to Wednesday and another challenge over at The Perfect Sentiment. This week we will run our challenge for two weeks since Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. Challenge: We all have those little scraps and pieces we just can't part with, yet we wonder why we keep them. Grab your stash of scraps and pieces and create the background for your card. You can use any sentiment just make sure it is on the front of the card.   Our sponsor this week is Shelly's Images

Prize: one free image

 

Now to show you my card.

I dug through all my scrap paper to get all my pattern Christmas paper out.

Then I just started cutting and making a pattern on my card.

After I stuck all the pieces down I put a coat of Mod Podge.

After it dried the card had a great shine to it.

I then made a tag for my sentiment and added some ribbon.

Check it out !! Love it !!

I'm seriously thinking about doing all my Christmas cards like this so I can use up all those scraps
of paper. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out all the other DT members creations.
I have all the blogs listed in my sidebar. Happy Thanksgiving !!!

  Welcome to our Explosion Blog Hop. This group of ladies have came up with different explosion boxes to share with you today. If you came from Lucy then your on the right track. If you just happen to stop by my blog please go to Ashley so you can start from the beginning of the hop and not miss one of these talented ladies.       To start off my post I want to show you my box.

Since Christmas is just around the corner I knew this box would be perfect.  I recently taught a class on how to make this box.

Without the top on.



                                                                                                  

                         The ribbon holds the box together when the top isn't on it.  

The top

  Now for the inside. This box is made with only four pieces of 12 x 12 paper. Three are stacked and the other sheet is use to embellish the inside and to make the top and bow. I added a little Christmas tree with presents in the middle square.     I also added a pocket for adding a gift card or tag.

    I guess I couldn't tell you everything that I used to embellish so here is a small list. Stickles Snowflake punch Washi Tape- Tim Holtz Glimmer Mist White doodle pen.
