Happy Tuesday, the 12th Day of Christmas! This last project is fun and you can do so much with it. I found a styrofoam cone to use as the base to put all the dots on. I used lots of different DSPs that have Christmas designs on them. I used a 1" circle punch to get all the dots. I used double-sided tape to put a strip all the way around the cone and layered the dots in a row. I started at the bottom and worked my way up. This was my first try at this and the Stampin' Up! double-sided tape is a little thin for the texture of the cone so the circles took a lot of pressing to keep them on. I didn't curve the circles to make them wrap around the cone but I did press them on to get them to kind of wrap around. I put the designs on randomly with no clear pattern of the rows but I have seen it done with the rows with the same design. I decided that random was a fun way. Then I took glitter DSP to make a star and cover the top so you couldn't see the cone. This was fun to make and would make a cute decoration for Christmas.

Eleventh Day of Christmas!
Happy Late Monday, the 11th Day of Christmas! My second to last project for my 12 days of Christmas is a one piece of cardstock pizza box. When folded into a box it measures 3 inches by 3 inches. I used the Snowflake Magic DSP and the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set. It is a straightforward box to cut and fold. The box is 1/2 inch deep and is good for the holiday. It is quick to put together too.

Tenth Day of Christmas!
Happy Sunday, the 10th day of Christmas! This is a fun treat project. Simple tall, square box. The top is where it gets fun, you score the rectangle into an X and then score a line in the middle on half the X. It is a little hard to explain without seeing how to make it close. This was my first attempt and the top is a little messy but I learned that the score lines for the X to make the top should be pretty deep without breaking through the paper. The colors are a little off on the photos but I used Daffodil Delight cardstock with DSP from the Merry Bold and Bright paper. This is a fun way to wrap a simple stocking stuffer or present for a coworker, friend, or even a family member.

Eighth Day of Christmas!
Happy Thursday, the 8th day of Christmas! For this card, I used a design from Gal Friday Mystery Card Monday. I used the O Holy Night DSP and Slate Gray cardstock. I also used the Winter Owls bundle. Since I wanted it to be more of a Christmas card I also used a sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set. This is a fun fold card that makes the season a little more exciting instead of just a standard design. It's still pretty simple to put together. You can also add a white-layer cardstock piece to the inside of any of the flaps to be able to write your own sentiment.
