12 Days Of Christmas: Day 9 - Stocking Stuffer

On the 9th Day of Christmas my SU Demo Taught me...

How to make a Stocking Stuffer filled with Candy!

Supplies:

Acetate Sheet
Cute & Curly Stamp Set
Curly Label Punch
1 1/4" Riding Hood Red/Very Vanilla Striped Ribbon
Rope Twine
Christmas Classics Stamp Set
Candy of your choice, I used 3 Chocolate Nuggets
Sticky Strip
Scissors
Bone Folder
Big Shot
Pillow Box Die
Premium Crease Pad
White Stazon Ink
Riding Hood Red Classic Ink
Scrap Piece of Shimmery White Cardstock
1/4" Circle Punch

Directions:

1.  Cut your piece of acetate to 5"x5 1/2"

2.  Stamp your image all over on the acetate using the White Stazon Ink, and either let dry or use your heat gun for a few seconds to dry the images.

  

3.  Make a Big Shot sandwich consisting of (from bottom to top) 1 Cutting Pad, 2 shims from the Premium Crease Pad set, Pillow Box Die, Acetate Sheet - Image up, Black Crease pad from the Premium Crease Pad Set

4.  Run this sandwich through your Big Shot Machine

5.  Use your bone folder to make the fold lines stay in the pillow box, **TIP hold up the pillow box towards lite to see where the fold line is, or use a black piece of cardstock under where you are folding to make the lines stick out some.

6.  around the ends just fold the score lines with your fingers so they stay.

7.  Place sticky strip along the fold of the tab along the side of the box.

8.  Attach this to the edge of the other side of the box to seal this edge.

9.  Put a little bit of sticky strip on one short edge, you dont need to do this to both ends, just one to help you keep your contents contained in the box while you finish the steps.

10.  Use your bone folder again this time insert the blunt end inside the pillow box and use it to help you seal the edge that you just put sticky strip on.

11.  Add your candy to the pillow box.

12.  With approx 20" of ribbon wrap it length wise around the pillow box with the ends meeting at the top and tie it, making sure that the end that is not sealed closes as you tie the box.

13.  Tie a second knot over the first to secure the ribbon onto the pillow box.

   

14.  Folding your ribbon in half length wise, cut the ribbon at an angle to make the v shape ends on the ribbon, do this to both ends.

15.  Stamp the Christmas Image from the Cute & Curly Set, and punch it out with the curly label Punch.

   

16.  Punch a hole in the corner of the label that you just created

17.  With about 5" of the rope twine, feed it through the hole in the label and then one end under the ribbon on your pillow box, tie it with a single knot, and trim the ends.
