Reindeer Treat Box

Hello! I've been meaning to post this little guy for a while I put him on facebook back in October and received lots of requests for the directions. This is a super cute punch art box to make for the holidays.


Reindeer Treat Box





 Here is the original post from Facebook. This treat box will fit a regular sized Hershey bar...YUM!!! 


 To make the box you will need a piece of crumbcake cardstock measuring 10" x 3 1/2". Score 1/2" on the long side and 4 3/4", 5 1/4" on the short side. I distressed the edges with #126978 soft suede ink.


For the eyes you will need the #119869 1/2" circle punch, for the mouth #119873 3/4" circle punch, for the nose #119860 1 3/8" circle punch and the cheeks #133787 star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.



To make the antlers and ears I used a Stampin Up's snowflake die which is now retired and expresso cardstock. I distressed the edges of the antlers and ears with #101731 white craft ink.


Hope you enjoy...thanks for stopping by!

Thankful

Today is November 1st! And it is officially the Fall for me and that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I have always been thankful for spending time with my family and friends.

Thankful Card


But this year has been especially hard for us. We lost my father-in-law unexpectedly earlier this year and just found out my mother-in-law is not in remission anymore. This morning I woke up feeling so very blessed and thankful for all our friends and family who have been there for us...calling us, sending texts and praying for our family. You are absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't tell you what that means to us. So this year Thanksgiving is definitely going to have a deeper meaning for me and my family. GOD is GREAT!!!

Hope you enjoy...thanks for stopping by!
