REMARKABLE LAST MINUTE BLOG TOUR BEGINS

SUSAN'S CHRISTMAS STAR BOX and ORNAMENTS
Today we start the REMARKABLE LAST MINUTE BLOG tour and I'm delighted to share with you this wonderful holiday Star Box that my friend Susan Ehrhardt created for everyone who attended the Holiday Stampin Up! class this past week. I purposely waited to showcase Susan's amazing creation until today because it was truly worthy of a Blog Tour day 1 project. Susan is a NICU RN whom I've known for many years. For the past few years, she has really been "wowing" us with her creations. This star box for the holidays is no exception.
Susan used SU! holiday designer paper and the alpine ribbon that is in the SU! holiday mini catalog. I wanted to show you several views of the boxes so that you can see that the box is truly star shaped.
Susan never makes just one of anything. Here are several different ones using different holiday papers including the gorgeous Christmas cocoa papers.
And inside each box was a home made candy treat. Mmmm.
This side view showcases the folds of the star lengthwise.
Attached to the box were these adorable pyramid ornaments that she made. These can be taken off the box and hung on your Christmas trees.
And here is a close up of the ornaments. Two of them are made with the flocked designer paper from Christmas cocoa. The other designer paper is from the specialty paper To the Nines. The red stitched white grosgrain ribbon is from the mistletoe ribbon collection in the SU! holiday mini. If you are interested in making one of these boxes, email me for info.
