My Daughter loves to swim. Here is my Christmas in July project. I always make a Christmas project in July. This is the first time making the Christmas tree box on Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge. I will be making alot of these for Christmas to give to my friends and Teachers at my daughter's school! I really like this box, because it can be used as a Christmas tree ornament. To make the box I used the fit to page button on 8 1/2 by 11 in cardstock. I used the blackout Creative Feature key with holes so I could tie ribbon through hole to hang on Christmas tree. If you want to know how I made the paper rosettes on Christmas tree box here is the tutorial link. I used a buttons and a gems for center of this rosettes.

Paper Rosettes Cards!

Here is two cards I made today. I seen these paper rosettes on the Martha Stewart Wedding Inspirations. I had to try to make them.
I made a Thank You and Congratulations card. These rosettes are easy to make. These can be used on cards, scrappages and for Party Decorations if they are made big enough .
Here is a tutorial on how I made the Congratulations card rosettes. Cut a piece of meduim weight pattern paper 1 in. by 12 in. Score every 1/4 in. to the end.


Pleat and fold to end on all 1/4 in. score lines. It should look like this.

Glue ends togethers. You can use the white glue, but I like to use the hot glue gun because it glues faster.

Push down on top until it lays flat on table. Add hot glue in center.
Glue paper flower to rosettes and glue gem. I hope you all try to make them. I had so much fun making them. You all have a great day!
