Tutorial: Christmas Tree Box

Hi there blog friends. Yes, I know I’ve been missing. I decided to try to conquer the new (had it since January) HD video camera and software I have.  Sheesh, I don’t think I’m winning but at least I have something to show for my absence and I’m encouraged to keep with it.  It’s so much of a better setup for me but it’s honestly waaaaay, way, way over my head.   Oh, the grumbling that came from my room.    It seems that I had to research every next step to figure things out.  Anyway, I’m riding without my training wheels now and hopefully this will let me produce better videos in the future!   Be sure to click the resolution button (it probably says 240p or 360p) and watch in HD, it’s much clearer!!!!

I did a walk through of how to make the triangle shaped Christmas Tree favor boxes that I showed on my JustRite Stampers Post and hopefully I can get to some of the tutorials and such that have been piling up on my to do list.    Enjoy!!

 

Oh gosh, I’ve missed you all!!

    Love your tree box Becca, but please…won’t you make the video for the pop up snowflake card that you said you’d make (I think last year). In five days I’ll be going away on a week’s stamping retreat, and usually work on my Christmas cards. I know a lot of other ladies have asked you for that video. I’d sure LOVE to have the knowledge to make that pop up. Thanks much. CarolReplyCancel

    Becca, Patricia here again!!
    Have you ever thought about doing a DVD of some of your “Tuorials”.
    I am sure it would sell “Like Hotcakes”
    Although I live in the UK, I for one would “Jump Hoops” to be able to get it.

    Do you have a degree in engineering? I ask because you must have training to design all the things you do. I can’t imagine how you come up with all the wonderful design and then teach us how to do them too. You are fabulous!!!!ReplyCancel

    Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. Your voice is soothing and your technique is spot-on. I will have to see about trying a box like this! Thank you for taking time to do these tutorials.

    May God continually bless you. ?ReplyCancel

  • Becky GreenOctober 10, 2011 - 8:29 pm

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOB Becca!!!!!!!! You did a WONDERFUL JOB on the video!!!!!!! Thanks for showing us!!!!!! How EASY you made it look, & without a template to boot!!!!!!!! :) SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel

  • Charlotte ZweigoronOctober 11, 2011 - 8:19 am

    Thanks for the tutorial. I had to try it right away! Mine came out a little more squat because I was using a Cheery Lynn doily die cut which I cut into pieces along the solid areas within the doily to make the four sides very lacy. I am busily experimenting with other sizes for the four sides because I don’t have any of these wonderful stamps. Got to make do with what I have! So good to have you back on the tutorial trail! I feel silly saying I love this project because I love ALL your projects!! Just wish I could get some of your cards to add to my collection of my favorite designer’s works… You are #1 in a circle of four including Tim Holtz, Andrea Ewen and Teresa Kline. #1!!!ReplyCancel

  • HeatherOctober 11, 2011 - 8:38 am

    I was so happy to hear all was well – and that you had a tutorial for us!
    You are such a whipper-snapper. I would have had to have the template then search for the stamp, whereas you create as you go along. A ‘true’ use of creativity-lol. I’ll be making these as table toppers (I may leave off the trunks, we’ll see) and will try using a vellum with a battery candle inside. Won’t know if I don’t try, right?
    Thanks, as always, for sharing with us Becca!ReplyCancel

  • Carol WOctober 11, 2011 - 9:35 am

    Great to see you back, and the tutorial looks wonderful (I took your advice and watched in glorious HD)!
    As others have mentioned, I really love how you walk us through how you created a shape/idea/etc. by using straight-forward spatial reasoning rather than a template. Templates are great, but your work empowers me to figure things out myself (especially when forging new paths that don’t have templates!). Even when I just re-create a project you’ve already perfected, the “constructive” part of my brain gets wonderful exercise. Thank you so much for that.ReplyCancel

  • RockyOctober 11, 2011 - 3:23 pm

    Thanks for a really clear tutorial, it was so easy to follow. There’ll be tree boxes all over my house this year !ReplyCancel

    Thanks so much for the tutorial. Your ability to think outside the box amazes me. You always find different ways to use things. Love it.ReplyCancel

  • sandie carterOctober 12, 2011 - 8:09 pm

    Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial. It would have taken me ages to try and work out how to make this gorgeous little tree box. Thanks you for sharing your never ending talents on your blog – you are truly amazing!!ReplyCancel

  • SaBrinaOctober 13, 2011 - 8:42 am

    Thank you so much for the tutorial! I am a little intimidated by the difficulty of it, but I will give it a try! Once I have the proper stamp set! Ms. Becca you make it look sooooooo easy. Once again, beautiful work awesome talent. SaBrina B.ReplyCancel

  • Sue AlgOctober 13, 2011 - 11:35 am

    You are truly a paper engineer. To have the vision to create a box from a triangle stamp is a wonderful talent. I thought your video was great and it appears you have learned how to use your new equipment. Thanks for much for sharing your videos because I think most people are visual learners.ReplyCancel

    Becca, Love all your cards and Turtorials. I have a Beeca file on my computer! Would you please do a step by step photo turtorial on how to make this Christmas Tree Box? I tried to write down the steps as I was following the vidieo (twice), but I am sure I missed some steps.

    Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Dee DiGiambattistaNovember 3, 2011 - 3:21 pm

    Becca, you are brilliant!! I made one of these and I was okay up until I had to tape down the flap and I taped the wrong one down. So close, I should have taped the one next to it. I Will try it again and I’m confident I will be successful. I am going to try to make this as an advent for my grandson for Christmas, I think it would be wonderful!! Thank you for your great ideas!! P.S. I hope this is okay with you.ReplyCancel
