Naughty or Nice? And Slow Recovery...

  but recovering I am!

I stayed in again today

and took things easy

but after three days of bed

and as many novels...

I HAD to do something!

I had logged into Split Coast Stampers

and found
this tutorial for Santa's Drawers

and OHMYGOSH!!!

I had to try it!

I ran and got my Close to My Heart Believe paper packs

my Score Pal, scissors and my tape gun.

I fixed a bowl of soup, got a drink

and sat in front of the computer

watching and working my way through

not one but two tutorial videos!

But this is just too, too cute---

.and it really isn't hard at all!

You are basically making a lot--

ok-- 4 boxes.

There's a few "PAY ATTENTIONS"

I would point out--

watch the video steps all the way through

before cutting-

I stopped and started it-

but I made a cut she said make

and THEN she pointed out a paper orientation

that she should have had before telling you to cut!

So watch-then cut.

Also highly recommend her idea of "dry fitting" everything

then adding adhesive.

Lastly,

and  I really don't know how to explain this-

but I cut little angles

on the "wings/flaps" to be folded in...

I just nipped a little more off so it angled down some

rather than straight across

so folding things over would fold and fit easier.

She mentions this in one step-I did it for all.

This would make an awesome gift

filled with gift tags!

And you can really make a lot of those

if you save those little pieces you cut off the corners

< WINK!>

The question is...

whose names are in the NAUGHTY drawer

and whose are in the NICE one?!

Hmmm...!

Guess you'll have to wait and see!

Until next time

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
