Origami Box

Origami is new for me. Wether my eyes nor my fingers are used to that accurate work.
But I hope I will learn more by practicing, so I'll try again.

I made this little box / pouch to store Christmas images which I am going to use later.
Through the whole year there are Christmas challenges popping up,
and I want to have my small images and sentiments gathered.

I used a coffee stained paper, size A 4.
To know this is a box for Christmas images (I also made boxes for other themes),
I decorated it with a holly image from Beccy and a red ribbon.
Heart punch: Atelier Terziev.
Distress ink: Wallnut Stain.

Closure: a "Christmas red" ribbon

Images waiting to be used

I glued the ribbon to the bottom with a punched heart.

Four Tags In A Mini Box

I made a little gift for a friend of mine.

At first I only thought of giving her some tags,

but then I thought I could make a little box

for these mini cards.

My rather old fingers cannot make fine works,

so I struggled a bit with the box and the bows.

But I think I can bring my friend this little gift

when I see her tomorrow afternoon.

For the tags I used:

White card stock, 2 different whites.

Embossing folder: Swiss Dots, Cuttlebug.

Image: "Arum Lilies", from Beccy's "Lovely Lilies" set.

Light pink ribbon.

For the box I used:

Pink card stock,

Patterned paper: Craft Sensations.

Spellbinders Scalloped Circle (on the back side)
and Spellbinders heart die.
Stamp: Heyda.

Light pink ribbon.

Rhine stone.

I glued the little heart so that it can hold the upper part of the box.

Tools: Cuttlebug, MS scoreboard, EK Success corner punch.

Christmas Box

Just now I am trying to make box cards and mall boxes.

A couple of weeks ago I bought an envelope punch board,

and I am learning how to be comfortable

with this (for me) quite new tool.

Here is my first Christmas box.

Inside there are 4 tea lights.

But I think I also will use boxes like this one for candies.

Recipe:

Creme paper,

Red and green scrap papers.

Embossing folder: Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug).

Spellbinders Poinsettia and Circle dies.

Brown distress ink, silver glitter.

Flowers: EK Success punch.

I also used distress ink, glitter and rhinestones.

Scrap papers, different colours and purple ribbons.

Easter wish written on my computer.

On one of the sides there is place to write a greeting.

Litt hekling

Det er ikke ofte jeg hekler.

Men denne uken fant jeg ut

at jeg skulle lage trekk til noen glass og bokser

som jeg har tatt vare på.

Det har hopet seg opp med restegarn etter klutestrikking,

og det er greit å få brukt det opp slik.

Dette var den opprinnelige boksen:

Og slik ble det ferdige resultatet:

Nå har jeg fått en passende oppbevaringsboks til krus-brikkene jeg heklet for et års tid siden.
