| Capture that first snowflake landing
on a mitten or
a romantic winter walk in the snow with the Eliza
Holiday Collection. As unique as real snowflakes,
Eliza die cuts are as fun to layer as playing in
the snow. Patterns of snow covered vines and branches
will remind you of a crisp, winter breeze whistling
through the seasons sleeping trees. |

Cut one sheet of AG1097
Winter Stripes
to 12" wide by 7" tall;
now cut this
paper into 3/4" x 7" strips.
One set of strips
should center on the stripes and one set should be
made up of the floral vine between the stripes. In
the weaving, the stripes will go one direction and
the vines the other. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
Once the weaving is finished and
the pieces
are adhered,
trim the
strips to
make the
weaving even
in case of
small errors.
[Before adhering
the strips,
I slid my
cutting board
under the
strips to
do the trimming.]
Then, trim the
AG1096 Blue
Vines paper
so it is
an even space
all the way
around the weaving;
this leaves
the Blue
Vines paper
as a 7 3/4" square. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Cut an 8 1/4" square piece of
AG1098 Blue Trees.
Layer the AG1096
Blue Vines piece
with woven strips
onto this and
adhere. [Adhere
to AG1095 background.] |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| From a second sheet of AG1097 Winter
Stripes, cut
four strips that
center on the
stripes, (like
you did in step
1 to make the
weave). Adhere
these 1" from
each side of
the AG1098 Blue
Trees paper to
make a border
where each strip
overlaps at the
corners. Overlap,
miter them by
cutting through
both thicknesses
from the outside
corner to the
inside corner
of the stripe.
Remove excess. [On the designers sample page,
the corners were
not mitered. I like the mitered look, but either
way is fine.
When making miters, I slide a piece of cardstock
under the corners
to protect my background
paper.] |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Cut the tab off from EM507 tag and
adhere it centered
on the page at
the bottom of the woven photo mat. |
 |
 |
Use foam adhesive to attach snow flake die cuts
on either side
of the tag; remember to layer the details of the
design onto the main image with foam adhesive. |

Trim the remaining of
the second sheet
of AG1097 Winter Stripes paper to about 5 1/2" wide.
Layer this onto the background sheet of AG1096 Blue
Vines. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Cut two 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" photo
mats from AG1095
Snowflakes. Cut two 5" x 7" photo
mats from AG1098
Blue Trees. Adhere the smaller mats to the larger
mats and add them to the pages off-center toward
the right side. |
|
|
|
|
|
Punch out two-tree die
cuts; adhere
them with foam adhesive, staggered at the bottom
left corner. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Tie the ribbon into a bow through
the hole in the
tag. Adhere it
in place vertically
at the top left. [You might want to tie your
bow, then adhere
it to the tag
with a glue dot. It would lay better than mine.] |
 |
Done! |

 |
 |
| This bag
is made from
a whole sheet of AG1098 Blue Trees. Begin by placing
the paper face down in front of you, with the company
name nearest you. Measure and mark the paper at 1
1/2" down from the top edge
and 1 1/2" up from the bottom edge. Score across
the paper at
these marks. Fold the top edge down on these score
marks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Measure
across the paper,
beginning at the left side of the paper, at 4",
5 1/2", 9 1/2", and
11" Score the paper vertically at these marks.
Crease the paper
gently at these folds and then lay it flat, face
up. (Creasing the paper here means that you will
bring the back side of the paper to the back side
of the paper.) |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| You will notice that
the panels for
the front and the back of the bag are 4" wide,
with 1 1/2" panels next to
them. |
Score the
paper vertically
along the center of these 1 1/2" panels
(about 3/4" in from the previously scored folds.)
Lightly crease
these score marks so that they fold in the opposite
direction from the previous folds. (In other words,
fold the paper at these creases so that the front
of the paper is folded to the front of the paper.)
Unfold. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| At the far
end of the bag,
[Left end.] there
is a 1" wide fold remaining.
Apply adhesive
to this flap
and adhere it
behind the first
of the 4" wide
panels. This
leaves you with
a rectangular
shaped bag. The
top of the bag
is already folded
in and the bottom
is open. |
To close the bottom
of the bag, use
scissors to cut each of the corners up to the 1 1/2" score
line. |
 |
 |
 |
| Fold in
the side flaps, then
the front and back flaps. |
Adhere the folds in
place. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Add a 1" [This
should be 2".] wide
strip of AG1096
Blue Vines around
the bag, about
2" [This should be 1".] from the
top. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Use foam adhesive to
adhere the die cuts
to the front of the bag. |
Optional
tip: You can add hints of glitter or glitter glue
to the snowflakes and trees on the bag and the scrapbook
page. The little hints of light make the page more
festive and fun! |
