TLC194 Christmas Tree Box 11/10/08
Boy, I'll tell ya that Brenda Quintana a/k/a Qbee really has it goin' on. She consistently cranks out the most amazing templates and tutorials, and I'm sure you will agree with me that today's challenge is TREEmendous. (giggle) Brenda has provide complete instructions as well as a template that you can print directly onto your cardstock to create these wonderful Christmas Tree Boxes. Her template prints two trees onto one 8.5 X 11 piece of cardstock and they are the sweetest little things!
The items that you will need for this challenge are:
Cardstock
Something to score lines (whatever your preferred method is)
Sticky Strip (READ AND NOTE #3 on Brenda's directions - I didn't and therefore my trees are now ornaments and not boxes that can be opened....lol)
Stamps or patterned paper
Ribbon, cord or other type of fiber
Anything else you may want to decorate your tree box.
I can't wait to see what creative ways you decorate your projects today!
Be sure to use keyword TLC194 (no spaces)
You can fine Brenda's tutorial and template HERE.
Click HERE to see Brenda's own Christmas Tree Boxes
My samples may be found HERE and for a close up view click HERE
To view the complete forrest of Christmas Tree Boxes, just click HERE.
HINT FOR NEXT WEEK: Items that you'll need are decorative paper and a bone folder. __________________ Lynn

Well, maybe I'll be able to do this challenge today. With sick kids, school being out, family times, and etc...kids are back in school today and I have the time.
Thanks for the great idea. Looks like fun. I will post mine today.

Lynn, this is a project that even the 3-D challenged like myself can tackle. I break out in a sweat when our stamping group does ANY box, but this looks like a possibility. I have to work late today so I may not be able to post until tomorrow. Thanks for a great project.

It prints out larger than I see it on my screen....I printed out another and held it up to my image on my screen to make sure. Hope this helps... __________________ ~Dianne~One of Kota's KidsSU Demo Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is preparation for a future that only He can see--Corrie ten Boom |
