This cute little box holds 4 reels of love hearts. It has a pull tie at one end to make opening easy and reinforced ends. It’s straightforward to make and would be a lovely little gift. You could use these as table favours or even in kid’s goody bags.

I don’t know about you but I remember as a child using matchboxes to make furniture for my doll’s house. A big matchbox cut in two piled one on top of the other made a great chest of drawers.

I love making cute little gifts like this. They don’t take long to make and don’t cost a lot but can brighten up a bad day for a special friend. It’s been ages since I made this style of box and I had to sit and work out the measurements for a while to get it right. It holds 4 delicious-smelling tea lights.

I don’t know about you but I have a ton of tea lights. They smell lovely and there is something special about watching the little flame. It reminds me of log fires and warm cosy fireplaces.

This is a good size box. It will fit at least 4 crackers with treats. I’ve used a memory and more journalling card from the Santa Express suite to decorate the box. The little hearts are from the Cracker & Treat Box die set that I used to make the crackers in the previous post.

These fat-bottomed gift bags are easy to make. This one has a magnetic closure. The magnets are hidden behind the patterned paper. I’ve used a sentiment on the front but you could equally stamp a name and use these as place markers at the table. They would be lovely with some homemade fudge as a goodie bag as well.

These are such dinky little treat boxes. The Design a Treat Box die cuts out the whole box for you as well as giving all the score lines. Included in the die are lots of extras. There are the numbers to make an advent calendar as well as the little labels. Also provided are pieces to change your little treat box into cute critters.

I’ve used the sparkly very vanilla glimmer paper to make my little labels but it doesn’t show up well on camera. Cameras I’ve found hate sparkle and glitter. The number die is one strip so you can cut all the numbers in one go. The numbers are cut individually but the die is one strip. You can you the positive or the negative of the number image. You could cut them into different colours and inlay the dies for a different effect.

This is very simple card to make. You can make a quite a few in a short space of time. Great card to get the kids involved as well. These card fit perfectly in the little card box we made in the last post. Together they are great gift.

This is Focus Friday card. During this month we are looking at different masking techniques. You may wonder where I’ve used this technique in the card above. It was for the sentiment. The original sentiment read “Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year”. I only wanted Merry Christmas and I wanted the word Christmas to below Merry. I masked off parts of the sentiment to achieve this. See the video below to find out how.
