Two K-cup and Treats-Handmade Gift Box-Easy Paper Craft-Christmas Gift

Rejoice and Create 2020-12-20 | Here is an easy, handmade treat box, for a wonderful and tasty Christmas gift for friends and family that has two K-cups and some tasty treats.
I use a 1 3/4" punch for the cup insert, but you could trace the top of the kcup, which is two inches, and cut 1/8" INSIDE the line. Or, use a 1 1/2" punch, and make several, 1/8" long, radiating cuts outward to make a snug way to nestle the cups. Think rays of the sun.
I hope you enjoy this last minute project that can be created and filled without breaking the bank.

Flare Top Gift Box Christmas Paper craft Tutorial Christmas Gift Ideas

Rejoice and Create 2020-12-05 | This is a replica of a box a friend received, and she graciously sent pictures and measurements so I could create some, because the flare top and size of the box was very useful! Starting with two pieces of 7 1/2" by 11" card stock, and four pieces of patterned paper that are 3" by 3", you can create this useful box, too! I sized the mats so I could get all four from one 6x6 paper, but if you want a smaller border and are using larger paper, you could go 3 1/4" by 3 1/4". Just a little creativity in scoring and cutting allows you to easily create this unique box.
The size of the box is a 3 1/2" cube, and it will fit many gifts. I am using it for the comfy socks with festive nail polish, but a specially made or selected Christmas ornament would fit, too.

Fold-Flat Gift Bags-Great Size for Goodies and Gifts-Use your Stash-Easy Origami

Rejoice and Create 2020-11-21 | Fold Flat Gift Bags Galore from 12" by 6" patterned paper, done in origami style to fold flat. This is not my original idea, it is an easy origami fold. Or, should I say, a scoreboard assisted origami fold. Actually, I cut a 1/2" strip off, and used it on some of the bags as a handle, so the actual paper was 11 1/2" by 6" to create the bag. These go pretty quickly, will store flat, and are 3 1/2" wide, by 2" deep, by 4 3/4" tall, so there is A LOT you can fit into them, from goodies to gifts! I created several fall themed bags for our Thanksgiving table, and to give to others in my friend circle. But, with the rest of my fall themed papers, AND whatever is left of my Christmas & Winter themed papers, I am creating these to have and give out en masse! A little note, and a teabag and cookie, and many are going to a local nursing home. But, I am sure you can think of other ways to use them!

#CCAY 2020 My Christmas Cards and How I Send Them

Rejoice and Create 2020-10-31 | It is the last Saturday, which means it is time for Christmas Crafting All Year! This month I have been working on my Christmas Cards. The cards we send always reflect the true meaning of Christmas, The Nativity of Our Lord. I created simple cards for my family and friends, and knowing they have to be mailed, they created without a lot of dimension.
I like the send a Christmas note, and 8 1/2" by 11" one-sided patterned paper is great to write a note. I create a general hello on my computer, then send the paper through and print it on the white side, making sure to leave room to hand-write a personal message.
I also like to include an updated picture of our family, especially when we have not had the chance to travel to see family.
So, I package all of these together in a cute pocket that I created using card stock and paper from my stash. I found some patterned Christmas paper, and matched some 12x12 card stock to it, and then created some fun pockets to hold all of my greetings, and fit in a 6"x9" envelope, which is the largest size you can send with a first class postage stamp. That is, as long as it is not thicker than 1/4", and not rigid.

A Window Treat Box Inspired by Dunkin’ Paper Craft Tutorial

Rejoice and Create 2020-10-17 | A sweet treat box inspired by the Dunkin’ munchkin box but adapted to a 12x12 card stock. You don't have to make the window, but if you do, a label-style punch with ~2" width can make it very easy, or you can die cut or cut by hand with a ruler and blade or scissors. This makes a cute box for homemade goodies, you just want to line with with parchment or wax paper, or place the goodies into a food-safe bag. But, it makes a fun gift box, as well.

A Bigger Bag for Muffin Mix & More! Easy Paper craft Tutorial Gift Bag

Rejoice and Create 2020-09-12 | A larger version of the soup/mug cake bag, this one measures 5" by 1 1/2" by 7" tall. It uses two pieces of card stock, which makes a bigger bag than one piece alone. Very quick, but makes a nice sized bag for any goodies, but they were created for Martha White Muffin Mix. I found many things that also fit in the bag, including the smaller bags of candy from the Dollar Tree.
Decorate as desired for any occasion, but if you are making them ahead of time, just put the double sided-tape on the back of the front bottom flap, and you can store them flat until needed. Then, just release the tape backing and put the bag together.

#CCAY2020 Advent Calendar Candle & Wreath or Christmas Countdown Chimney

Rejoice and Create 2020-08-29 | Here is this year's Advent Calendar & "Wreath", or Christmas Countdown Chimney, or Christmas Countdown Townhouse! It is a fun, and compact, way to give a "countdown" activity to someone special. The outside makes a nice decoration, or Advent Wreath. Inside, there are 24 boxes that are 1 1/4" cubes, and a bigger, 2 5/8"x 2 5/8"x 2" box for God's Greatest Gift: Baby Jesus for the Nativity. The countdown box is from a 12x12, the lid is from a 7x7, and there are two smaller squares for stability at the base. Each daily, countdown box is from 5 1/2" by 3", so you can make two from a 6x6, or eight from a 12x12. The box for Christmas Day is from a 5 1/2" by 11".
This is a labor of love, but because the little boxes feature a "four flap" closure, it can be used again in years to come.

Goldfish Cracker Treat Holder for Kids or Coworker Encouragement

Rejoice and Create 2020-08-15 | Here is quick treat holder for Goldfish crackers in single serving packs. It would be fun for kids favors, coworker RAKs, or just some encouragement to share.
I used a 4 1/2" by 12" piece of card stock, and was able to get two per 12x12. If you go narrower, the corners of the package stick out, and it bothered me. If it does not both you, try 4" width, and then you can get three per 12x12.
The stamp sets I used for the encouragement were: SweetNSassyStamps.com "Be encouraged 2" (both 1 and 2 are great sets) and a retired SU Hostess set: "Make A Splash". But, you could always use your computer to print up a sentiment the size and style you would like, then print on card stock if you are making a bunch at once.
After I finished, I thought of hand drawing one or more Christian Fish on a 2 3/4" circle, with the sentiment "Duc in Altum", (Cast out into the deep), what Our Lord told Peter to do, that resulted in an overwhelming catch. I think I will use that when our bible classes start back up.

#CCAY2020 #5 Paper Card Bases with Pocket Flap for Gift Cards & More!

Rejoice and Create 2020-05-30 | It is the last Saturday of the month, so here is a project for Crafting Christmas All Year 2020 #CCAY2020. Thank you to Lisa at happycrafter and Paulette Fullard for a fun collaboration idea! Anyone can join on Youtube and Instagram by tagging their Christmas projects with #CCAY2020 and uploading/posting the last Saturday of the month.
With visions of paper card bases from Amber at LyricLoverCrafts and Meg Loven at LovenStamps, and thoughts of card flaps from a splitcoaststamper tutorial by Dee Slater all swirling in my head, a fun project was created!
This is a great way to make paper based cards from your 12x12 (or 6x12) papers, create a cute pocket for gift cards/prayer cards/wallet pictures/money/magnets/encouragement cards/etc. and create them for any occasion! Although, because this is the last Saturday, mine are done in a Christmas theme. I will be making many of these from my other pads, and including some encouragement or a prayer card, and sending them to the local nursing homes. We are a community, and our seniors are feeling the loneliness of isolation, when even their relative can't visit. We need to send them a paper hug and lifeline.
I used one-sided paper for two of these, which has a white interior, and for the third used a double-sided paper, to which I added a white mat to the inside to stamp/write my greeting.
I hope you enjoy this project and give it a try!

Teeny Treat Bag with Decorated Dollar Tree Label Clip

Rejoice and Create 2020-05-22 | Here is a quick and adorable teeny treat bag that was created to fit a chalkboard label clip from Dollar Tree. My mom sent me three packages, so I had 12 clips to play with, and what better than to create some cute and quick "pick me ups" for anyone! They fit two Hershey's nuggets (it is plump, one would work, too!) three Hershey's kisses, a lindt truffle, or a couple of hard candies.
It only takes a piece of patterned paper 3" by 6", mine came from my scrap bin, but you could use up some 6x6 or 12x12. Then, I just punched and stamped some sentiments, and embellished with punchies from my scrap bin or extra embellishments. Have fun!
If you don't have these labels, just punch a 2" by 1 1/4" ish shape from card stock, embellish that, and then attach to any clip you may have. Or, just staple to a filled treat bag.

Front Close Treat Holder: Easy Papercraft Tutorial: Use your paper stash!

Rejoice and Create 2020-05-16 | Here is a cute treat holder that features an unusual front closure and room for tea bags, treats and small gifts. You can use your 12x12 stash, as each one is created from a 6" by 12" piece of patterned paper. Gift cards will also fit, standing in "portrait" position, and the base of the bag is 2" by 3", so you can fit many other treats and trinkets in there, too.

The adorable flower box stamps, and the sentiment stamps, are from Catherine Pooler in her new release Flutters and Blooms. I really like the sentiment set, as it contains many sentiments I actually say in real life. If you are looking for a set like that, you may want to check it out. Here is a link to use for 10% off your order to her store. If you purchase with the link, I will also get a few credits in her store, so it's win-win, and I really appreciate being able to cobble together the credits to get a few more products for my projects, thank you!

Quick & Easy Treat Favors from Pre-made A2 Card Bases Great for Mothers Day

Rejoice and Create 2020-05-09 | Here are some quick tent-style favors from pre-made card bases that are 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" (opened 5 1/2" by 8 1/2") They are easy to make with a scoreboard and a 1” circle punch. The addition of a scalloped circle or flower punch that is around 1 3/4" with a solid center will make it quick, but you can make these without any additional punches.
Note that some card bases are more flimsy than others, and the stiffer ones will hold the candies better, but even the other ones can make fun favors, you just may need to place a glue dot to hold the candy to the bottom and back of the favor tent.
Also, you don't have to punch a hole in the front, I just liked the look of the candy popping out the front where the flower center would be. But, you can just decorate the front however you liked, and then put candy inside, and glue dot it to the bottom: three hershey's kisses, two hershey's nuggets, a small candy bar like the mini kitkats or twix, even a standard pack of gum would work.
This is a fun way to use the card bases and scraps, and I am sure you can think of many ways to use these favors, but I am thinking of Mother's day dinner, or RAKs that I hand out to those folks working very hard at this time.

Mother’s Day Treat Holder or Gift Box from the Dollar Tree-Teachers too!

Rejoice and Create 2020-05-02 | Here is a fun Mothers Day treat holder and gift box using the plastic magnetic canisters from the Dollar Tree. Last week, two adorable reindeer were created. This week, the canisters were combined with some beautiful, flower-shaped paper plates to create a special Mother's Day treat & small gift holder. You can also use them for birthdays, teachers and RAKs, depending on how you embellish and which sentiments you pick.

#CCAY2020 Reindeer Treat Box from Dollar Tree Magnetic Container

Rejoice and Create 2020-04-25 | This is the last Saturday of the month, so it is time for a Christmas project! I know many of us are still staying at home, but Dollar Tree is considered an essential business, so if you can get out, you may be able to get a few of these plastic, magnetic containers. They come in a few colors, are about 3 3/4" diameter, and fit five Lindt truffles or similar-sized candy.
I wrapped the container with a 3/4" by 12" strip of patterned paper, and because I was creating a hanging version, I mounted that strip on a card stop strip for strength. Then, two more 3/4" by 12" pieces of paper made the antlers, because in the reindeer world, both the males and females have antlers.

I hope you enjoy this fun and sweet Christmas Craft, and remember to search for all of the Christmas videos using #CCAY2020. And, a big THANK YOU to Paulette Fullard and Lisa from happycrafter for inspiring us to craft Christmas all year!!

Front Pocket Top Fold Tea Bag Card

Rejoice and Create 2020-04-10 | Here is a fun way to give an encouraging card with a tea bag. The top-fold card has a mat that forms a pocket, which is great for a tea bag. If you keep the embellishments flat, you can put this into an A2 envelope, and mail it with first class postage in the US. If you add a bit more embellishments, you may need to add an extra stamp. But, it is a nice way to reach out and remember someone who may be feeling alone, ill or anxious, during this stay-at-home time. You can use a label style punch with straight edges top and bottom, or trace and cut an opening for the tea bag, either way, it makes a fun and unusual card.

#CCAY2020 A 6x6 Paper Christmas Tree Treat Box-Use up leftover bling!

Rejoice and Create 2020-03-28 | Here is a cute Christmas Tree Treat Box created from a 6x6 paper and it doesn’t even need to be holiday paper. I like the green patterns, but you could really use any to create your trees. The best part, is you can use up all of those straggler embellishments sitting around your craft room! Rhinestones, enamel dots, stickers, pearls, resin shapes, sequins, glitter, glitter glue...The list is endless of what you can use to decoration. And, if you decorate and stop before assembling the box, it can be stored flat until next season!
The little tree is 3" by 1" at the base, and stands about 4-5" high, depending on what you top it with. Even here, you can use up paperclips, mini-binder clips or mini-clothespins, look to see what is sitting in your craft space! While I did not use these, you can also add ribbons or other trims to your trees, like garland!
I hope you enjoy this Christmas Crafting All Year project!

Thank you to Paulette Fullard and HappyCrafter for this fun series.

#CCAY2020 Fast and Fun Hot Cocoa Folder with a Doorknob Version

Rejoice and Create 2020-02-29 | Thank you to Paulette Fullard and Lisa (Happycrafter) for their wonderful Christmas Crafting All Year 2020 (#CCAY2020) Collaboration! I have had fun seeing wonderful Christmas crafting projects, and anyone can join in just by using the #CCAY2020.
This folder has been around for a bit, I first saw the video by Mary at Cardz TV with Mary.
I tweaked mine just a bit, because I don't always punch holes very well, and wanted to make sure I did not puncture the hot cocoa pouch. Instead, I used double-sided tape to keep the top end tight, and then put my hot cocoa pouch in with two glue dots. I also have a version that has a loop for hanging over a doorknob or drawer pull.
These make great co-worker & teacher gifts, and also fun for stocking stuffers!
It is also a fun way to use Christmas papers left over from previous years.
I hope you enjoy this project, and until we meet again, may your days be blessed!
Smiles, Darby

Easy pockets from Leftover Card Bases, Nesting Dies and Scraps -Quick!

Rejoice and Create 2020-02-24 | Today's project uses left-over card bases, oval and circle nesting dies, and scraps from your scrap bin to create whimsical, colorful pockets for gift cards, seed packets, tea or coffee or flattish candy treats. I needed a quick pocket to give some seed packets, and had a couple of card bases sitting on my craft table next to the stitched nesting dies from Stampin' Up!. So, I just grabbed some scraps from my scrap bin, cut out a bunch of different shapes, and made a pocket with the card bases, both portrait and landscape. It was rather fun, so I grabbed some more card bases from my stash, ones where the color or pattern was not one I would use, and turned them "inside out" to make the pockets. I punched a small, decorative reveal in the top-center of the front, then glued them together to form the pocket.
Yes, you can use other supplies to create these pockets, but what a fun way to use up left-over card bases, scraps from your bins, and your nesting dies.

Easy Tea Bag Pocket Holder Paper Craft Tutorial

Rejoice and Create 2020-02-15 | I was having fun with the 3" by 12" strips that I cut off while creating another project. With some creative scoring, folding and cutting, you can create this fun tea bag pocket/holder. I have two teabags, but you could fit another one or two, and then gift it for many occasions. You see I had one that was Valentine's day, but Mother's Day, Ladies Luncheons, Get well, just because, happy day...It is a thoughtful "thinking of you" that is easy to create from a 3" by 12" strip of paper. And, while you can decorate it with a ribbon bow, or use a punch or die, I show how I made these easy envelope punch board bows from a 1" by 6" strip of paper from my scrap bin.

An Adorable Treat Basket for Valentine’s Day Paper Craft Tutorial

Rejoice and Create 2020-02-01 | Back from it's journey around cyberspace, here is the smaller treat basket video uploaded once again! Still small, still cute, but (sadly) without the wonderful and encouraging comments that you left the first time around. Where do these videos go when they drop off of the radar? I don't know, but it's been uploaded for a second time. I hope you enjoy!

This project is a cute, and unique sided, little treat basket that holds one Ferrero Rocher, lindor truffle, or a few Hershey's kisses. Great for Valentine's day, Mother's day, ladies luncheon favors, or a just because RAK! Easy to make, and fun to give!

A Bigger Treat Basket Paper craft Tutorial for Valentines Moms & More

Rejoice and Create 2020-02-01 | Here is the bigger version of last week's treat basket tutorial.
I will be re-uploading the smaller version, as I have no idea where in cyberspace it went!
This basket uses one-half of an 8 1/2" by 11" card stock, so you can get two out of sheet. But, it will also work with international A4, just cut it down to 11" and cut it in half lengthwise, AND if you want to cut a 4" by 11" from 12x12 card stock, it will work with that, too.

# CCAY2020 A Christmas Organizer for Christmas Crafts All Year

Rejoice and Create 2020-01-30 | Hi Everyone! I was on Tracey's channel, Tys Creates, and she mentioned a collaboration created by Paulette Fullard and Happy Crafter that anyone could join! So, I am joining!
It is Christmas Crafting All Year, and you just upload a Christmas project video the last Saturday of each month (when you can) and tag it #CCAY2020. You can also search for the videos using that tag.
For my project, I wanted to show that you can start early, not just organizing, but also saving money. That way, not only is Christ in your heart all year long, but next Christmas will also be a time you can focus on faith and family. Of course, you can use it for other organizational needs, and you can put more envelopes in as needed!
One note, when you put the envelopes together, keep the adhesive just in the center and just up near the top 1/4 the envelope to allow the envelopes to expand.
I hope you enjoy this project, and until we meet again, may all of your days be blessed!
Smiles, Darby

Heart Die Pocket Tea Bag or Treat Holder for Valentines, RAKs & more!

Rejoice and Create 2020-01-11 | The heart dies make this easy, but you could also cut and trace a heart "window pocket" to hold a treat or tea bag. Great for Valentine's Day or just RAKs, these come together pretty quickly from a piece of patterned paper (heavier) or card stock that is 8 1/2" by 4". Or, adjust your size to accommodate your treat or tea bag.
I use a beautiful stamp set from Divinity Designs (divinitydesignsllc.com) and two sets of nesting heart dies, one is scalloped, to create this quick project. Both are Umbrella Dies that I purchased from Scrapbook.com. If you don't have a heart die, just create a heart the size you need for your treat, and use it as a template to trace and cut. It takes a little longer, but is still pretty doable!
I hope you enjoy this project and give it a try, and until we meet again, may your days be blessed! Smiles, Darby
