Christmas Season cross stamping Christmas cards

 Hello and Happy Thursday everyone!  Today we begin my series of the 12 Projects of Christmas 2022.  Boy has it been a very busy week for me, I'm sure yours has been as well.  Today I have a cross stamping technique which uses a full sheet of Basic White cardstock and makes four cards.  It's very easy and no card will ever be exactly the same!  I love this technique and how my cards turned out with very little effort.  You can see how I stamped the full sheet and put these cards together by watching the replay over on my YouTube channel HERE:

 Well, we've reached the final project for the 12 Projects of Christmas today.  I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as I have.  I have to give credit for the inspiration for my project today to Sherry Roth of Stamped Treasures.  I used her directions to make the treat box and took inspiration from her decorations, but of course, I put my own spin on things.  I'm very pleased with how it turned out and these go together fairly quickly.  You can watch my YouTube video to see how I put these boxes together here https://youtu.be/W4O58KsgrFg

Christmas Season Tailor Made Tag Ornament Box 6x6

Today's project features several projects from the July-August 2021 mini catalog by Stampin' Up!  I came up with this idea after seeing someone make a box for some Christmas tags and that inspired this project.  I tried making the box for the tags three different ways before I was happy with the end result.  The really nice thing about it is, if you want to use up your Designer Series Paper, this is a good use of it.  Because I designed this to be hung on a Christmas tree,  I chose to use cardstock for mine.  You can watch my FB Live video over at KnT Designs by Teresa from November 2, 2021, to see how I made the tags and box.  This box will hold three tags of each of the largest dies of the Tailor Made Tags along with two of the smaller tags.  That's eight tags in all.

For the box, you will need a 6x6 piece of cardstock or DSP (Soft Succulent)

Score on one side at 1/2, 2 3/4, 3 1/4 and 5 1/2"

Turn 1/4 turn clockwise and score at

1/2, 5 and 5 1/2"  Trim according to the photo template

Designer Series Paper

1 piece at 2 1/8 x 4 3/8 If using a directional pattern, it should be in portrait mode

2 pieces cut at 3/8 x 4 3/8  Portrait

1 piece 3/8 x 2 1/8 in landscape  I used the new Ever Eden DSP which is available while supplies last
