Ribbon Trees - Aren't they great?

For this project you need a styrofoam cone, lots of tiny pins, a few rolls of the same ribbon for your base and then various other trims.  Cut several pieces of about 1 1/2" ribbon and fold in half and attach with pin for each layer starting at the bottom.  If you like, feel free to place a piece of ribbon going around the styro first so none shows through when placing your ribbon layers around the piece.  Break up the layers by adding various trims around the styro and then begin your ribbon layers again.  Once you get to the top, add ribbon over the top that overhangs and pin in place.  If you like add a star or other embellishment.  On mine I used a Prima star and a metal star wand from JoAnn.  One tree is a combination of felt ribbon and Carolee's music ribbon, the other tree is mostly all Prima ribbons and trims.  Have fun.

Prima Mini Calendar

This is very easy.  All you need are 2 sets of 3 graduated circles, a calendar printed out that is cut in circles to your second largest size, approx 10 1" circles, ribbon and a couple prima flowers and leaves if you like.
Use the Tim Holtz distress tool to distress edges of the circles and sander to distress edges of the 1" circles.  Apply stardust stickles to the distressed edges of the 3 circles x 2 sets.  Punch hole through the cover, back and all calendar pages where you see the ribbon on mine.  Use brad to attach with brad ends coming through the front and cover with a tied ribbon.  To the bottom I attached a Prima flower and rose that I added stardust stickles to and then added a couple glitter leaves off a Christmas pick from Michaels.  Very easy project.

Pink Paislee Ornament Gift Box

I've been playing making gift boxes and gifts for the holiday.  This gift box is covered with Pink Paislee Mistletoe and Co papers.  Edges have been distressed with the Tim Holtz distress tool and then stardust stickles applied to the distressed edges.  I also used Prima's brick background stamp and heat embossed in black on a few extra strips of paper which I tore and also distressed edges and applied stickles.  These give the effect of exposed brick.  Around the edges of the box top I applied a felt scallop trim, glued around the edges and applied the Melissa Frances mica flakes in white.

The second box I also decorated with Pink Paislee Mistletoe and Co papers same as above but added various other embellishments to the top of the box as well as rubons Dear Santa to the side of the box.
The box is packaging from a Cricut cartridge.  Inside the box I adhered felt to the bottom and used an empty Pink Paislee glitter container to hold a piece of rolled paper and then decorated the container as well.
