Rustic Tree and Holly BonBons
Welcome again! These elements are from Couture Creation's new collections 'Deck the Halls'
I wanted to created something that wasn't a card using these christmas dies so I tried my hand at these 'Crackers/BonBons'. The paper pad is 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" so I created 2 templates to make it a 5 sided bonbon. The difference is the length of the middle section. I added a paper flap to the horizontal side so each of the sides can be glued without covering any of the patterned paper. Each side has a glued on added 1" strip of glitter card with that has one fancy edge .
I scored along the measurements in both directions. To cut the centres of the folded section that is under the bow area, I used the large corner punch. You have to hold the fold on the centre score line and the horizontal side score line so as to create a right angle to go into the punch.
Once everything is scored, punched and glued it is just a matter of coaxing the folds to create the tied area to form. Tie a matching ribbon on each side. The die cuts are then glued to the centre front of the bonbon.
If you want to add a gift inside I would wrap it in tissue paper and place it inside before the sides are glued together.
Thanks for stopping by ...
