Flags, Tags and More box - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

  Flags, Tags & More box – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit 

Starting with a plain cardstock 8”x7”

Score short side at 1”,  2.1/2”,  5” &  6.1/2”

Score long side at 4” &  5.1/2”

Fold all score marks and cut slits as per the photo below. 

Fold the small flap up to create a half box.

Decorate the back and front side panels with Holiday Floral + small front panel Ornaments + inside panels Berry Christmas. 

Finish off with some washi tape and a sentiment label topper.

I then used several off cuts, scraps and fussy cuts to create tags and other useful goodies that can be layered together to make clusters.

To make the rosettes, simply score a piece of 1”x10” paper every 1/2”. Fold it back and forth until it is all bunched up in your fingers, stick the ends together securely. *tip- use two circles punched out to adhere to the middle on front and back 

of the Rosette when spread out. This will help it stay together better than just one side.

Grab and Go box with cards - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

  Grab & Go box with cards– made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit 

This is definitely one of the easiest open topped boxes you’ll ever put together.

Start off with a plain cardstock 12”x7.1/4”

Score the long side at 4.1/2”,  5.3/4”,  10.1/4” &  11.1/2”

Score the short side at 6”  &  7.1/4”

Fold all of the score lines, cut slits into the score lines on the bottom, now wrap the panels until they make a box. Glue the extra flap closed on the long edge. Bring up and glue the bottom panels to create a base. The box is now complete. 

 

For the cards to be easily seen and picked up, draw and cut a diagonal line across the top of the side panels. From back to front, by 1”

Decorate- Twenty Five Days 5.3/4”x4.1/4” + 2 Red/Green 1”x5.3/4” + Holiday Floral 4.1/1”x4.3/4

Ink all pieces to be used on this project. Finish off with a strip of washi tape on the back. 

PROJECT TWO – simple 5 minute cards

Starting with a plain cardstock 5.3/4”x8”  *tip A4 cut in half is perfect for a card base of 5.3/4”x4”

1.      Poinsettia 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + torn Holiday Floral *1.1/2x5.1/2”

Stick down the Poinsettia pattern paper as the first layer on the bottom. Then using some scraps, I have torn the edges of the red pattern paper. Stick down a strip on top of each card and finish off with a tag. Ink all edges. Use foam tape / 3D dots or cardboard to give the tags some dimension

      2. Woodgrain 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + Holiday Floral 4.1/2”x3.1/4” + scraps for strips Twenty Five days and Red/Green and Berry Christmas

 Stick down the Woodgrain as the first layer.

 Create your topper as a second part. 

Using the red pattern paper as the base for the topper, glue down the strips of scrap papers onto the left side. Using some foam tape / 3D dots / cardboard added to the back of the sentiment piece. You can also use the foam tape to the back of the topper also to give extra dimension layers to this card. Ink all edges. 

3.    Woodgrain 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + Holiday Floral 5.1/2”x1” + Acetate 5.3/4”x4”

Measure down 1” from the middle crease. Cut the card there. Add Acetate to the inside of the flap panel to equal the length of the missing card. Add washi to the back of this panel.

On the front, add a pattern paper layer and washi over the top of the cut. Choose a sticker from the sticker sheet included in the kit, place it in the middle to replicate an invisible card front.

Stick the woodgrain to the inside of the card. This will create a background for the sticker on the front.

Simple diecut cards using scraps - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

 ** – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit 

Each card is designed to use up as many scraps as possible. You may add so much more to these cards as you like. Go crazy and really fill them up! I have made these fairly simple so even a beginner can follow along.  

Start with plain cardstock to create your usual card base. I used an A4 piece and cut in half at 5.3/4”. This then folded in half creates the card base at 5.3/4”x4”.

Choose which metal dies you would like to use and search through your scraps to find pieces that will suit in size. Run through whatever machine you have Big Shot / Cuttlebug / etc..

I made four cards, all with a distress inked background. I did this with a blending brush.

Dies I used were from Sizzix, Couture Creations and a freebie in a Creative Cardmaking magazine.

Add toppers like tags, fussy cuts, sentiments, washi tape. I even turned the off cut into a second card with a shaker.

You are only limited by your own imagination. So have fun with these!

Shaker cards - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

Shaker cards – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit 

Shaker Box - Ornaments 4.1/2”x6.1/2” + Holiday Florals 4.1/2”x6.1/2”. Score around each edge at 1/4 “.  

Cut a 1” frame from the Baubles pattern paper and add Acetate to the inside to create a window. This will become the front of your card.  Ink all edges with a Red ink.  Add a sentiment piece to the middle of the red pattern piece.
Use both pieces and glue 3 sides together. Add shaker bling / confetti into the forth side before sticking together also. *tip- to secure the box sides while drying, I wrapped some washi tape across the box to hold it all together.  Add another sentiment to the front of the card. I used a “Christmas” fussy cut label from the bonus mystery sheets that came in the kit.

Using leftover Ornaments pattern paper I have added a flap card to the back. This was about 1/2" short, so added washi tape over the exposed piece to hide the gap.  When you wish to write your personalised Christmas note, please add in your own white cardstock. I would recommend one measuring 1” smaller as this will match up with the 1” frame on the front.  

PROJECT TWO: Starting with a plain cardstock 4”x12” - Fold this in half to make a normal base at 6”x4”.

Shaker card topper – Holiday Floral 5.3/4”x3.3/4” + Ornaments 5.1/2”x3.1/2”.
I distressed and inked all edges on this card.  Using a circle cutter / metal die / traced cup – Cut out a centre piece and add Acetate to the back to create a window. Use doubled foam tape or some sort of 3D pops around the circle on the backside of the acetate.  Add the foam tape to the edges of the Bauble paper.  *tip- I lay this topper facing down to add the shaker bling / confetti to the middle of the circle. I then add the red pattern piece carefully on top, paying close attention to keeping my layers neat. Then flip over and your card topper is ready to stick to the plain card base.  Now add any sentiments or embellishment clusters to the front of the card window.

SMILE

Over the past 6 months or so, I have been very lucky to have been allowed to facebook stark a few family and friends for their photos... I have loved being able to use them, that it's given me a fresh joy and spark with my crafting.. 

This layout features my cousin and her little girl.. 

Paper from the "my secret love" collection by Couture Creation..
The ribbon diecut come ready cut from Cut For You, I added the pattern paper behind it..

First I cut the boarder pattern paper and cut a hole from the white cardstock that won't be seen, so I can use it for layering..
I used the next layer on top of the pp and again, cut a hole from both pp and cardstock that won't be seen.. more layering... lots of simple layering!

I used the ribbon cut to judge where the ink sploshes would look best behind the cut... I actually have one glued on the bottom, and the second set popped up with some foam tape..
The pretty pink paper under the photo is actually the opposite side of the leafy paper.. :)

Using the hot pink glitter alphas and dots for the center of the ribbons, I was able to capture that bright brilliant colour in the mood board..

What do you think?

 Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the creations for the Lasting Memories Design Team! 

I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. 

Thanks again, Toni.. xoxo

Easel card – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit

**view youtube video here** 

Starting with a plain cardstock 12”x4” - Fold this in half to make a normal card base at 6”x4”.

Then fold the top flap in half again. Your card topper will be glued to the front piece of the mountain.

 

 Card Topper - Berry Christmas 6”x4” + Holly Berries 5.3/4 “x 3.3/4 “ + Red/Green 4”x3.1/8” + Sentiment

This topper is assembled with layers and matting in two parts. The polka dot base of the card topper first, with the tree pattern piece on top. Using foam tape as the divider, the top part has a red base with the fussy cut sentiment from the Bonus Mystery sheets provided in the kit. 

Using a piece of off-cut attach a small piece of Red/ Green 4”x3” to the back of the card.

Inside card – Berry Christmas 6”x4” + Red/Green 3.3/4”x1.1/2” + Holly Berries 3.3/4”x3.3/4” + White flap  

                   with personal message 3.3/4”x7.1/2”

The inside of this card has been made with three parts. First is the polka dot base. Next using a long piece of white card stock, fold it in half and attach tree pattern paper. This will stick towards the top. Leaving a gap down the bottom for a small piece of Red paper, use foam tape to pop it off the card and attach some stickers for a cluster embellishment. To make the card sit in an Easel position, simply slide the topper between the two bottom layers.

Prima and Kaiser flowers, a beautiful feather and leaf die cuts make up the clusters..
Some ink sploshes and bling dots finish off the page..
