Several weeks ago the demonstrators from Stampin' Addicts hosted a blog hop featuring the fall items from the 2014 Stampin' Up Holiday catalog. The catalog has so many wonderful things we could not fit them all in one hop so this weekend we have Part Two of the hop showing off the winter products.
I am using the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Framelits Die. Of course this die can be used to make a little envelope just the right size for a gift card. And you can use it as a pocket on cards or scrapbook pages. Here are two more ideas:
Join four diecuts end to end and then into a circle. Fold the flaps down. Add a square of cardstock to the bottom and you have a super cute, super quick box.
Cut away three of the tabs and you have a either a barn shape or a silo shape depending on which tabs you remove.
I created a framed snowy farm scene with the pieces. I used the Festival of Trees stamp set and coordinating punch as well. The straw in the haymow is frayed bits of Hello Honey Satin Ribbon.
Here is a visual for creating the barn and silo shapes:
In this orientation, remove the side and bottom tabs to make a barn.
For a silo, orient the diecut in this direction and remove the side and bottom tabs.
