I hope everybody survived their Thanksgiving feast and Black Friday! I played it smart and had absolutely no desserts or dressing, and no way did I attempt fighting the crowds today. I already have half my Christmas shopping done, and I'm hoping the rest will still be on sale. I've already saved at least a thousand dollars on gifts, so I'm not going to complain. I truly love Christmas, but I hate to shop with a passion.
Today I'm showing pictures of what my class will be doing next week. They will be making five gift boxes -- all different sizes and shapes; and 20 gift cards with Stampin' Up's Kraft Box to store them. Some wanted to do gift cards and others wanted to make the boxes, so I decided why not give them both!! I really like how everything turned out. Everybody gets a package of the
Snow Festival Designer Series Paper to make the boxes and cards, and they take home more than half of the leftover paper. I got this idea from Ronda Wade's Creative Convention (tags) and Creative Retreat (boxes), when she offered these as a make'n take and a class. I just used different designer paper and designed a little different. Here are the finished projects (right click and select "open in new tab or window for larger picture):

| I used Stampin' Up's direction to make the bow. |
 |
| This is the largest box, measuring 7" x 7", and 2 1/4" high. |
 |
| A tall, medium box. |
 |
| Small jewelry box. |
 |
| I call this the "milk box." (so cute). |
 |
| Twenty easy-peasy gift cards and decorated Stampin' Up Kraft Box. |
Let me know what you think. There is still time to schedule a class!
Until next time,
Sandi
