Paper Crafts HC&M vol 5 Blog Hop: 12 Designers of Christmas

Welcome to the 12 Designers of Christmas blog hop, brought to you from the fine folks at Paper Crafts Magazine.
This week Paper Crafts is celebrating the special issue, Holiday Cards & More vol 5, that just hit news stands.  This is the magazine issue that will get your creative juices started into creating some fabulous Christmas items, like cards, bags, tags, home decor and more!  What a better way to end this kick off week, than a blog hop with 12 never been seen before holiday projects.  Did any of you get the Go to Sketches special issue?  Well, you know how beautiful that issue what photographed?  That is exactly how HC&M vol 5 was photographed as well.  So each project really shines as you flip through this issue.  There really is something for everyone.  Cards, got them.  Bags, oh yes!  Gift ideas, so clever!  Tags, yep got those too!  Home decor, yep!  In one word this issue is awesome-sauce, it is my word for something beyond awesome.  Awesome with sauce on it, like chocolate sauce.  How can something awesome with chocolate sauce all over it be bad?  It can't.  
Do you have your copy yet?
(click on the cover, it will bring you to a site to purchase one)
Do you see that card in the right bottom hand corner?
That is MY card on the COVER!!!
Beyond elated is the way to describe the feeling.

Each designer was given a template, to create a never been seen before project.  I was given a template to make a box.   The box template I am recreating, is the Pink Holiday box (pg.88) by Leslie Webster.  To see that template head on over to the Paper Crafts Connection blog, they are sharing all three templates the designers are using today, with their readers. Scroll down below for the materials I used on my projects.

Make sure to go to each of the 12 designers blogs as well as the Paper Crafts Connection and Moxie Fab World blogs, and leave a comment.  Each blog has a give away!  So that is 14 chances to win!



Thanks to the handy dandy template I was given to use, this box was easy peasy to create.  Once my bottom & top part of the box were put together, it was time to fancy it up a bit.  I cut/embossed pretty glitter pattern paper from MME, using a Spellbinders Classic Lace Border Grand Borderabilities, and then glued it along the edge of the box (the top box).  I then adhered the same pattern paper to the top of the box.  To hide the crease, and because I love ribbon, I glued satin ribbon around the box.  Next, I stamped a music note label stamp (from GinaK) with memento ink onto kraft paper.   So after I stamped the image, I cut/embossed it with the Labels Sixteen, which coordinates perfectly with the stamp.  Is that not fabulous or what?!  Fabulous!!  Next, I distressed the edges a bit, then adhered the label to the top of the box using foam tape.  I have been holding on to this most beautiful package of Prima glittered holly pieces, so I took two of them, tied them together with satin ribbon, and adhered them to the label.  I realized I needed to add a sentiment, so I stamped a Merry Christmas sentiment (GinaK), then cut/embossed it using a Spellbinders Fancy Tags die template, distressed it a bit, added a few pearls & adhered it to the label using foam tape.  You cannot give away an empty box, so I also created some coordinating tags to go inside.  I hope you are enjoying this fun blog hop!  Don't forget to leave a comment to win.

Now I get to give away a copy of Holiday Cards & More Vol. 5.

My favorite holiday tradition is sharing a traditional Ukrainian meal on Christmas Eve with our entire exteded family. Hopefully our own children will do the same when they have their own families.

Putting up the nativity set that my mother made for us is our favorite tradition. The pieces are wrapped in tissue, and we always want to be the one who finds "Baby Jesus."

Cute box! My favorite Christmas tradition is to leave my kids stockings at the foot oftheir beds so if they get up too early they have something to tide them over until they are allowed to come out into teh living room.
Sherry said…
This is lovely thanks for sharing
Mary said…
I love this box. I may make one for myself to hold my package tags. I guess my favorite tradition is breakfast and a movie on Christmas morning. Everyone still in their jammies and just being lazy after all the craziness leading up to the holiday.
labsuper said…
My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas Eve candlelight service at my church.
Mrs. Tamashiro said…
Family activities every night after dinner for the month of December. That is extremely special to me.
We have 3 very sentimental items that must be on or hidden under our tree each year. The first is a fishing sinker in honor of my DB who was killed the year we were married. Seond is a glittered spider web in honor of my Ukranian heritage. The third is the lid from an Easter bunny dish which was the first gift my DS bought on his own for me. He was running and dropped the bottom, because he was so excited. All he wrapped was the lid. That gets hidden behind the Nativity as a reminder that it is not the gift but the thought.

Your box is very pretty. My favorite tradition is sitting together with the family and reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and the Nativity Story before bed on Christmas Eve. Heather

Your project is gorgeous! I always loved leaving cookies and cocoa for Santa -- first as a child myself, then with my children. I think they humored me for a long time after they didn't really believe anymore, just because they knew I loved it!

Super cute project! My favorite is baking cookies with my girls. TFS.

Latisha!! I love how the color of that ribbon just POPS!!

Fav Holiday Tradition: This is a new tradition that my parents and 6+ siblings started a couple years ago... Homemade Christmas! We draw names amongst the siblings, and of course we all make for our parents. We pick a project that both highlights our artistic, crafty talents and something that the receiver would like. Takes the strain off of spending so much money on gifts and allows us to make something so much more personal!!

My favorite holiday tradition is the family all being together for Christmas, eating a nice meal together, cleaning up the dishes, and my Dad reading the Christmas story from the bible. Then we open gifts, but if we didn't, it would still be so special! Family togetherness!
Stampintotton said…
I love to make handcrafted cards and gifts for Family, friends and neighbours. Making these gifts is a way to say you are really special to me and it is easy on the budget. Love your box I will be using the inspiration I have found today in my projects this year.

My favorite Christmas tradition is to wrap a gift in a box within a box within a box etc. Everyone knows I do it and waits to see who will be it. Everyone loves when we have an unsuspecting guest or new family member.
Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!

My favorite tradition for Christmas is going to midnight Mass with my family. After Mass we come home and have a "bed" snack complete with hot toddies. Christmas Day comes too soon sometimes but being with family is most important.

I love the box with the tags inside. Anyone would love to receive this gift.

My favorite tradition is very new to our family. My children are older and married with their own families. We started a themed Christmas. Last year it was formal and we bought all kinds of mismatched place settings and had a beautiful table. Everyone that came for dinner got to take their place setting home. Can't wait to see what we come up with for this Christmas!
Vicki said…

Your box is beautiful! I love the scallops and the tags. My favorite Christmas tradition is making a special cookie recipe handed down through the family. They are rich and time consuming but it wouldn't be Christmas without them.
Liz (wifelady) said…
My favorite holiday tradition is having a family get together the Sunday before Christmas -- I make lots of food, we play a gag gift-type white elephant game and exchange gifts -- it's lots of work but great fun! I even make paper crafted party favors!

Very beautiful box. Thanks for sharing all the details. My fav tradition at Christmas is coming home from Christmas Eve service my daughters and I always run to check our stockings hanging over the fireplace. You see every Christmas Eve "daddy clause" leaves his girls a special gift. (My husband spoils us. He started this one year when our two daughter were little and still does it now that they are married)
Mary said…
Going around town to see the Christmas lights. And we travel about 45 minutes away to drive through an entire town that is all decorated and lit up!!

Plus, watching A Christmas Story and It's A Wonderful Life....can't beat those movies!

Rebecca said…
Favorite tradition is meeting up with my immediate family for breakfast on Christmas morning to open our presents and spend time together before the hectic family house hop starts with the extended family. We each take turns hosting the breakfast and even though my parents have been divorced for MANY years, my mom invited my dad to join in the festivities. We will have it at his house this year!

My favorite holiday tradition . . . oh how do I choose--LOVE everything about Christmas. However, I guess I love spending time with family the best. Without that, the decorations, cards, food . . . just don't mean that much.
LOVE your box--it is gorgeous!
Valerie said…
I would have to say having my kids all home with their families and opening gifts together after breakfast.

We have always watched Miracle on 24th Street every year on Christmas Eve. I was so worried last year that my boy wouldn't be interested in watching with us that year (they were 14 & 9).... well it just warmed my heart when I walked into the living room & they were all piled on the couch (with) popcorn ready to watch!

We've also always bought 24 cheapy presents each (and I mean like dollar bin cheapy) for the boys.... so they get to open a present every day in December before Christmas (they still love this)!

Now your box is stunning & your card on the COVER!!! Congrats!

Thank you so much for sharig!!!

Steph B said…
My favorite holiday tradition is.... for the last 20 years (it started in my Mom's house) every Christmas we have "STRAYS" join us for Christmas dinner. We have always had extra people who have no where to go for Christmas dinner. It's varied from New Zealanders to a guy from high school who happened to knock on the door just as we were sitting down to eat. It's always a joy!
jen said…
love this!! That punched border really adds so much!
My fave tradition is reading the night before Christmas to our daughter right before bed on Christmas eve- she's only 5 and SO full of wonder & excitement! :)

Wowza, Latisha, this little box is amazing! My favorite holiday tradition is turning off all the lights except the Christmas tree, enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, and snuggling with my hubby while Christmas music plays in the background.

We get together as a family and have a fun filled day of painting the statuary ornaments and EVERYONE gets involved...I used to do this every year when my children were younger and now my older daughter has reestablished the tradition going on four years now...this will be our fifth season...even the guys get really into it...SO much fun every year looking at the ones on the tree from the past years!
Fabulous project! Favorite tradition is going out on the day after Thanksgiving to find the perfect tree...always fun!

I love this little box. My favorite tradition: stockings! I know they're supposed to be for kids, but Hubby and I still really enjoying getting our little goodies too. And stamps make great stocking stuffers...

Dang girl! What a great box you created....... My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with my son while listening to Christmas music.
My favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies for my family, friends and those who I come into contact with throughout the year.

I've already picked up this issue and it's awesome. Luv your project!
Every Christmas Eve we go to church service, then out for Mexican food and to my Mother in Laws to open gifts. A always look forward to this special tradition with my husbands family.
