Christmas Scallop Banner and Box
Carey's project was inspired by Patti from Creations by Patti. Patti was inspired by someone else who she doesn’t remember. She used some items that Carey didn't have so she changed it to be a Christmas project.
You will need:
Chipboard
Old Olive CS, Cherry Cobbler CS, Very Vanilla CS and Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper
Scallop #2 Big Shot Die, Scalloped circle punch, 1 3/8” circle punch, 1 ¼” circle punch, ornament punch
Old Olive 1-1/4” grosgrain striped ribbon,
Lovely Letters Alphabet, Delightful Decorations, and Just Believe stamp sets
Top Lid and bottom base of box: Cut two 5”x5” chipboard. Cut three 5”x5” Old Olive CS. Cut one 5”x5” DSP. Affix paper to chipboard. I like using the SU glue stick. Use the Scallop Circle #2 to cut them. After cutting them use a Stampin’ Write pen in a color to coordinate along the sides of chipboard.
To make the flower on the lid: Cut three pieces of DSP with the scallop punch. Three pieces were used to make the flower fuller. Score each piece from one side to the other. Fold in fan fold along score line. Attach adhesive to connect all three sections. To make the center of the flower: single knot a piece of 5/8” grosgrain ribbon to coordinate with flower. Thread both ends of the ribbon through the center of the flower. The knot will form the middle of the flower. Adhere completed flower on top of a 2 ½” circle of coordinating cardstock. Add dimensional to circle and adhere to the lid.
To make the Banner Holder Box: cut a piece of coordinating CS 2 ½” x 12”. Score along the 12” side at ½”. Clip the scored strip section every ½”. Cut a 2 ¾” circle of coordinating CS. You will end up needing less than the 12" but I didn't measure before I did it so before you wrap it around the circle and adhere it measure how much you need. I added sticky strip around the circle and then wrapped the clipped strip around the circle. Apply adhesive to the end of the paper to secure it to itself. Add sticky tape to the edge to finish the circle. Adhere this section to the scallop chipboard. This will form the bottom and sides of the box. Tie a piece of coordinating striped ribbon around the side of the box.
To make the banner: Decide on your message. Punch the appropriate number of scalloped circles +2 with DSP. You will add one scalloped circle to the start and one to the end of your message. I added an ornament made with the ornament punch to the first and last scalloped circle. Stamp your letter or message on the solid color of CS that you choose. Punch letters of message with 1 ¼” circle punch. Punch coordinating CS with 1 3/8” circle punch. Position and adhere each Scallop circle along the striped grosgrain ribbon. Adhere the 1 3/8” solid color CS. Add dimensional to the 1 ¼” circle and adhere to circle.
To adhere the banner to the banner holder box: Make a 3” circle in coordinating cs. Punch a large hole in the center of this. Thread through one end of the banner and apply adhesive. Cover the ribbon end on the lid with the DSP after putting it on the lid.

Welcome to Hop 3
Welcome to the 3rd of 4 Blog Hops for the 2010 VC Rocks season; Please mark your calendars for the next Hop for Aug 21/22. The Hop officially starts at 10am Eastern/9 Central/8 Mountain/7 Pacific on Saturday morning, July 17th and will be up thru the weekend. Please be sure to leave some comments for our bloggers (including the ones on the Home Page)... I'm sure there may be blog candy to be found along your journey.
Please enjoy the home page art supplied by 5 Rockers without blogs (yet)... before we send you on tour to 31 Fabulously Talented Rockers!!!
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Markers: Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi
Misc: Square Lattice Embossing folder, dimensionals
Directions:
Ingredients:
Ghiradelli Chocolate (the absolute most important ingredient)
Paper: Sunny Garden DSP, Whisper White CS, Cajun Craze CS
Inks: Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait
Stamps: Vintage Vogue
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Sticky Strip
For the box portion cut CS 8 1/2" x 2". Score at 2", 4", 6" and 8" on the long side. Score at 1" on short side of CS. Cut out the 1"x 1" block at bottom of CS that will leave a tab at the top portion. Cut up on each score line on bottom half of CS up to the 1" score line. Make this a little wider so will be a /\. Fold and tape the bottom of the box.
The box top is a piece of CS 2 1/4" by 5 9/16". Score at 2 1/4" and 3 5/16". Fold on the score lines. Attach to the box by taping the bottom and the spine. At this point it will look like a book.
For decoration cut two DSP 2" x 2" for the bottom and top. Cut four coordinating DSP 1 3/4" x 3/4" for the sides. If a latch is desired cut a 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of CS. Score at the appropriate places to be sure it closes properly. Tape the latch on the bottom of the box then put all the DSP on the box top, bottom, and sides. I attached the latch to the back after I put the DSP on it so learn from my mistake. After I had put all the time in on it I wasn't going to tear it apart.
You can decorate as desired. I stamped the F from my vintage Vogue stamp set on Whisper White CS with Pear Pizzazz ink and attached with dimensionals. Then I stamped the little flower with the Peach Parfait and a little leaf next to it with the Pear Pizzazz then cut it out as one unit. I attached these with dimensionals and tucked my latch under it. You can use magnets or Velcro also to close your latch. The very last step is to load the box with as many chocolates as it will hold or if you have gotten hungry after all this work only put in one.

I discovered a way to customize these One Sheet Wonder sheets! (I’m sure someone has thought of this before, I just haven’t seen/heard it yet.) I used the neutral ink colors - Soft Seude, River Rock, & Early Espresso for the Great Friend stamp set images on the Very Vanilla cardstock sheet. I wanted to add a little wow to the cards, so I embossed gold dots from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set. (now retired. Someone on VC Rocks did this on their OSW sheet in a past swap. I was very impressed and sold all the cards I made with it at the church Holiday Market!)
After embossing, I cut the OSW sheet using the cutting template and directions by Kimberley Morris. http://procrastistamper.
Stamps: Great Friend, Heard From the Heart, Cute by the Inch (new Hostess set), Teeny Tiny Wishes, Itty Bitty Backgrounds (retired)
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Soft Seude, Pear Pizzazz, River Rock
Ink: Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Soft Seude, River Rock, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, VersaMark
Accessories: Early Espresso & Marina Mist ribbons; Eyelet Border, Spiral Border, 5 Petal Flower Extra Large and Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack punches; Gold Stampin’ Embossing Powder; Clear Rhinestone Brads
