Watercolor Christmas Project Kit, Merry Little Christmas, Tags & Trimmings, Trim Your Stocking, Acetate Card Box

It's another gorgeous, sunny day here in Michigan.  I'm hoping to go fishing today!!!

My share for today is another of Stampin' Up's new Acetate Card Boxes that holds 4 of the Cards and Envelopes from SU's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit that I made and shared on my blog on Monday.  Let's take a look:

Since Stampin' Up's Watercolor Christmas Project Kit has 20 Cards, 5 each of 4 designs, I can make 5 Acetate Card Boxes with each Box containing 4 Cards and Envelopes from the Watercolor Christmas Kit.  Each Acetate Card Box can hold 5 Cards and Envelopes easily; but, I figured I would go with 4 as the Envelopes have liners and there is some height to the Cards from the use of Stampin' Dimensionals.  It worked out perfectly!

Here's a re-look at the 4 Cards I made from the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit: 

I inserted the Card pictured above in the back of my Acetate Card Box so it shows when looking at the back of the Box.

I used various SU Enamel Dots and Wink of Stella from my own personal stash on my Cards.

 

I inserted the Card pictured above in the front of my Acetate Card Box.

 
Not only was it fun putting the Watercolor Christmas Kit together; but, it was also fun embellishing the Acetate Card Boxes.

I cut a length of SU's new Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim, wrapped it around the top of the Acetate Card Box, tied it into a Bow and trimmed the ends.  The Mini Tinsel Trim comes in a Combo Pack of Real Red and Silver.

I trimmed out a piece of Real Red Cardstock that measured 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" and a piece of Whisper White Cardstock at 2" x 3".  I adhered the two together with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.

I used my Corner Rounder Punch to round the top two corners.

I trimmed off a 1/4" length from the Pool Party Watercolored Tree Card Base in the Kit and then cut it into two pieces that are 3-1/2" long.  I adhered one to the bottom of my Tag with Mono Multi Purpose Glue and then I adhered a length of SU's new Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape in Gold as shown in the picture above.  I repeated this step one more time.

Using SU's Merry Little Labels Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink onto my Tag.

Using SU's Tags & Trimmings Stamp Set, I stamped one Large Holly Leaf and two Small Holly Leaves in Emerald Envy Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.  

Using SU's coordinating Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies, I die cut out the Holly Leaves and adhered them to my Tag with Mono Multi Purpose Glue down the center of the Leaves only as shown in the picture above. 

Here's the messy part in making the Tinsel Holly Berries!  I cut 3 small lengths of the Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim.  I put a little Mono Multi Purpose Glue on one end and rolled it into a ball and adhered the last end with more Mono Multi Purpose Glue.  It takes a while for the glue to dry and hold the ball together.  I put 3 dabs of Mono Multi Purpose Glue in-between each Holly Leaf on my Tag and let it sit so the glue would set up some.  I then adhered the Tinsel Holly Berries.  It was worth the effort!

Using my 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch, I punched a hole in the top of the Tag.  

I cut a length of SU's Pool Party Solid Baker's Twine, threaded it through the hole in the Tag and under the Tinsel Bow, tied it into a knot and trimmed the ends.  I slid the knot behind the center of the Tinsel Bow.  

I cut one more length of Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim and made it into a ball as described above and adhered it to the center of my Tinsel Bow.

I adhered 3 Emerald Envy Heart Enamel Shapes to the bottom of my Tag as shown in the picture above.

I love how the end of the Real Red Banner and Gold Mini Trim on the first Card in the front of the Acetate Box shows at the bottom of my Tag.
  
That's all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I'm off to go fishing!!!  =)
