My Paper Pumpkin ChalkBoard Christmas Tree

Ho Ho Ho, Christmas Magic hits my studio again!

So much for that piece of Pumpkin Pie Box in the October

My Paper Pumpkin Kit......I'm going Christmas..this is Tree Box #2

I'm a fond lover of the ChalkBoard Technique which uses Black card stock, White embossing and sponging of White Craft Ink. I thought it would be fun to make another Christmas Tree box since I had such fun making my first one. FIND INSTRUCTIONS HERE for the base.

 

I used the Pie box with the striped sides and folded in the sides in order to make a shape I could trace onto Black card stock. I made 2 black triangles...one for the front and one for the back. The back of the box is the perfect place to write a personal message to the receiver....carry out the chalkboard fun by writing in white uses a White Chalk writer or White Uni-Ball Gel pen.

  

Sponge white craft ink on both of the Black Triangles edges. Set the ink with the heat tool. Glue black triangles to the box.

Using the MINGLE ALL THE WAY stamp set, White Emboss the sentiment on Black card stock. ( embossing instructions here )

Use a 2 1/2" Circle to punch it out. Sponge WHITE CRAFT INK around the circle edges. Set the ink with the heat tool.

Punch a Real Red  2 3/8" Scalloped Circle , and Punch stars with Silver Glimmer Paper with the  Itty Bitty Accents STAR punch. Pop up the sentiment circles  with dimensionals.

I created a fun Silver Bell Ribbon bow for added detail and a little sound of the Season. String a bell with Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine. Tie and knot the bell around a piece of 1/8" Red Taffeta Ribbon... Now it will be much easier for you to tie the bow for it's placement on the box.

Use a liquid glue to attach the bell and bow.....we don't want that little cutie to fall off! Have fun making your own treat box.

An Added Bonus for Paper Pumpkin Subscribers is that we have access to purchase refill kits. I love this feature because if you want to make even more than is provided in the monthly kit it's possible. That means if you need 12 teacher gifts or 15 family treat boxes the refill kits can solve that issue. The Sweet as Pie refill kit contains 8 more boxes and accessories and is just $7.95
