Hi there blog friends! Yep, box mode again! I can’t explain why but I’m rolling with it and it’s a good change of pace for me. This is another of the October JustRite Stampers releases and this one is called O Christmas Tree. I love the font and love the shape!! I stamped the shape multiple times, scored and came up with a simple box that will work for place settings and favors and can be opened by a flap on the bottom.
Some of the smaller Spellbinders elements were used on the favors. The two smaller elements from Spellbinders™ Layered Poinsettias were used on the red tree while Spellbinders™ 2011 Snowflake Pendants were used on the gold and white tree,
I stamped the three stamp four times in a fan arrangement and scored between each stamping. Before cutting I allowed for a 3/8″ flap on one side and 1″ on all the bottoms. I then matched the right sized Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG and cut it on a fold to fashion a flap that I adhered to one of the 1″ flaps. That let my box close on the bottom. Then I cut a strip of paper 4 1/2″ long and scored it at 1″ intervals, turned and scored 1/2″ in. This made the trunk of the tree – once assembled, I attached it to the bottom lid with glue dots.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: JustRite Stampers – O Christmas Tree Paper: Bazzill, Kraft, Strathmore Bristol Ink: Versamark and Embossing Powder, Colorbox Chalk Ink – Warm Red, Vintage Photo Distress Ink Accessories: Spellbinders™ Layered Poinsettias, Spellbinders™ 2011 Snowflake Pendants, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, pearl brad, embossing powder, seam binding |

You are just so creative and such an inspiration! I recently came across you’re blog and have tried out a few of your ideas. They are so much fun. Thank you for getting my creative juices flowing again and for sharing your talent. One day I’m going to tackle the awesome pop up bird cage card. That’s my absolute favorite.

Wonderful ornament to hang on your tree!!!
I love the colors also but can see that it would look good in many colors.
I always make the younger kids a ornament for when the get old enough to have a tree of their own. Or some already do!!
This just may be the one I do.
Thanks Becca for sharing a great idea.

Just love the little trees. A template for the box and a tutorial would be great. Each time I get an email from you, I can’t wait to see what you have made. Elegant is the word I use to describe your cards etc.

Beautiful, just might have to get those stamps. The Cricut “Bags Tags and Boxes” cartridge cuts a really nice Christmas Tree box in any size you like, but when I used them for gifts last Christmas they didn’t look anything like yours! Thanks for your beautiful ideas every day.

BEAUTIFUL Becca!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw these on the JustRite site but, just didn’t pay attention to WHO made them!!!!!! I SHOULD HAVE KNOW it was YOU!!!!!!! :) These WOULD be PERFECT for a place setting! MAYBE, add a little candy inside???? :)

I just love this stamp set as well as how you used it. I agree with all the comments you are so creative and just wish I had one/tenth of it! Tks for sharing! (yes, I too would love to get the pattern!)

I would love a visual for how you stamped this and for the template (generalized) that you used for cutting and folding. This is a great project to re-create. Wonderful work, truly!

I would love to see a tutorail on how to make your tree books. These would be lovly on my Christmas table with small favors at each place setting. I love to check out your blog daily you are an inspiration your work and style are breath taking. TFS Ann

These are fantastic! I’m really hoping you will “show” how you made these since I am a very visual learner XX crossing fingers :)

What a neat idea for table decorations. I couldn’t find a description for the clearcut stamps — are they ready to use? Do they need to be cut out? How large are the various triangular stamps? How large is your finished triangular box?

Our traditionnel Chrismas tree have a great look like this… I would like to see a little village with the Becca touch a kind of collection that we can built and add pieces through the years. I like so much all your paper decorations they are all attraction pieces . Thanks for all the beauty you bring in our life. Francine

Becca, I just love your tree box. Would you be so kind as to share the template you made please? I have a similar template, but the base is loose and fits into the bottom of the tree.

I’ve always thought how well you think “outside” of the box… and now you’re proving how “amazing” you are “inside” the box. As always you are such an ispiration. I hope you know how much we all appreciate you and your generosity in sharing your creativity.
