Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

 Boy have I been slacking on my blog!!! I guess its time to start catching up 😊      I have finally done a Christmas In July Project! I am not much for planning anything but I kind of did for this one. My friend found a Cinch Machine for one heck of a deal, she got the machine for $4 CAD and 6 sets of 3/8" coils for $1 a piece I think she said! She wasn't entirely sure what it was but knew it was a fun crafty tool so she got it. When I seen it up on her shelf I asked her if I could play with it and she said sure, so it came to live at my house and this is what happened...      So the first one I made was the Cinch book but then I realized that there are a lot of crafters out there that may want to make this but don't have a Cinch Machine so I made it into a Mini Album!! I used a digital collection by Nitwit Collections called Gnome for Christmas. Such a cute collection and has so many cute Gnomes... as you can see!!  The above photo is of the 1st...

     I thought these were absolutely adorable when I saw the Original Video on how to make these. It is done by Angela Pyjas @ Stamping with Amore. I can see me loving all her other Christmas In July projects!! Check out her video on YouTube with the link I posted above or visit her website.      I decided to do a slightly smaller on as well just to see how they looked. They turned out great as well and fit the Hand Sanitizers from Bath & Body Works... BONUS!      The measurements for the box that the larger jars fit on is cut to 3" x 6" then Score in the Portrait Position at 1" then turn to the Landscape position and score at 1.5", 2.5", 4" & 5"  You will want to cut the little square in the bottom corner seen here... I apologize for the mess on my work surface but we all know how that can go 😉      I can't wait till Wednesday when everyone can order the Blended Seasons Bundle and the new Wate...
