Using the Scan N Cut: Snowman Boxes and Gift Tags

A month or so ago, I saw a grandparents' gift idea. Three, large-ish boxes were wrapped and stacked and made to look like snowmen. The bottom box was to contain a game/toy, the middle box was for clothing, and the head was filled with treats. I liked the idea and thought I could adapt it on a smaller scale for the girlies. I found the 3 different white size boxes at Michael's.

I adapted some projects at the Brother Canvas Workspace for the Scan n Cut machine.

The snowman hat and face came from a gift bag project and the mittens were from a Christmas card project. The cards had to be resized. Cotton balls (cotton wool) were used for the fur trim on the mittens. A ribbon was used for the hat band, and some buttons from the button box to finish off the snowman. Green for The Eldest and red (her favorite color) for the Young One.

Inside, something fun, something practical, and some treats. The three boxes fit neatly into the USPS large, flat-rate shipping box and arrived at the Eldest's mailbox in two days.

I also made a couple of gift tags adapting a gift tag tutorial from Alandacraft.com

 I am loving the Scan N Cut and really enjoying making things.
