Top Note Snow Man Box and Box Tutorial

Here is another top note creation I wanted to share. I used the top note die from stampin up. For the eyes I used the 3/4 inch circle punch. I free style cut the carrot for the nose. The cheeks are chalked. The red poinsettia is Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die, with gold stickles and 3 flat pearls in the center. The Foliage is a Martha Stewart punch. The inside box is real easy. Cut a peice of card stock 4 3/4 X 8 inches. Score 1, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, and 7 inches Turn and score 1 inch along the Bottom of the long side. 

Then Sandwich the box between 2 top note dies cuts. Box is open at top.
Hope you enjoyed this box tutorial.

Pine Cone Roses Tutorial

My kids went to there grandmothers this weekend and brought back a bag full of large pine cones. "Mommy make something with this." So we all made the pine cone trees in school. I thought that was a little boring and I figured I could make something better with them. They are at school right now so they will be surprised when they get home and see there pine cone roses. I think they would make great table pieces this Thanksgiving.

So here is what you need: 1 Pine Cone and Hot Glue. I used a large pine cone.

~11-12 Large Petals for the bottom.

~7-9 Medium Petals for the middle.

~6-8 Small Petals for the top.

~3-5 Tiny/Skinny Petals for the center bud.

      ~Add Liquid Applique or Snow Marker to give it a snowy look. Add glitter, paint, or whatever else you desire. Have fun with it. Hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I would love to see what you come up with, So please share.
