There was a question on how to fold this funky leaf box from the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge. So, I set to work to try and figure it out!
I cut the leaf box at 4" - I know that sounds crazy but when it's all folded up, it's 4" (sort of) in diameter (ish)...LOL! The handbook suggested this size.
See below:
Here are the products used:
1)The Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge (click HERE for more info):
Did you know that there is a new Close to My Heart mini catalog called Holidays from the Heart, valid from Oct 15- Dec 31, 2013?
And a fabulous new promo to go with it! (see below):
The $100 must be spent on full retail priced products so "while supplies last" and discounted stamp of the month products do not count towards that total (SORRY!).
When you place your order HERE, the system will prompt you upon checkout to pick out your free/star item(s)! Wait until the system prompts you and then click on their link to add your items.
The star items shown above can be found HERE under the "Holidays From the Heart Gift Guide 2013" tab on the left hand column down at the bottom.
You can also download a PDF of the catalog HERE.
Or I can send you one - just email me at joyster110@gmail.com with your address and I'll send one right out to you!

I love this and am going to go try and make one right now. but I was wondering about the button you put on it. Will that make it so you can open it back up easily? scrappinlaurie@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteYour project is precious! Just enough space inside for something sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour video on putting these kinds of boxes together was SO helpful. Thank you! I usually have candles in some special Folk Art candlesticks (painted by my mother decades ago). Since we generally have a lot of people, I also do place cards. Some fun fall napkins and, of course, all the beautiful dishes of food are my "decorations."
ReplyDeleteThat box is adorable! Well, mostly Thanksgiving is at my SIL's house, so I don't end up decorating a table. The one year we hosted I splurged and bought a flower arrangement. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling box. Great job putting it together I really, really loved your video thanks for making it so easy to understand otherwise I know it would've been very complicated to figure out. YOU ROCK!!
ReplyDeletei really don't - we don't have family around, so it's just the 4 of us...and plenty of food to cover the table!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've avoided making boxes like this because I need the instructions! Thanks for showing us! Thangsgiving table - decorations around the house, but not the tables - we typically have 5 long tables set up, so it's easier to decorate the house! Yes, I'm blessed to have a very large family!
ReplyDeleteLove the box. I'd have to find something small enough to put in one of those boxes.

ReplyDeleteit - no other decoration needed. Seeing and having all those faces there makes everyone

Granny Rae from Niceville, FL: Love these boxes. Think I'll try them with my scout troop! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the box. I don't decorate my table. I don't even have turkey. It's just another thankful day.
ReplyDeleteWe decorate our Thanksgiving table with simply.......food. :)
ReplyDeleteJust a note for anyone trying this...if you use paper that has a pattern only on one side make sure you place the paper pattern size down on the cutting mat so that the pattern will be on the outside when it is complete. I learned this by trial and error....LOL! scrappinlaurie@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial on folding the box. I don't have the cartridge yet, but when I get it, I can now refer back to this post to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteLove your box. Now I will have to go pull out that cartridge and make one. Wish me luck. I don't usually decorate my Thanksgiving table. Everything is usually buffet style because we have so many people(usually 15-20 people)
ReplyDeleteJoy, I just love your tutorials, they are fantastic. This box is really pretty and I never would have figured out how to put it together.

Usually we just decorate the table with food and hungry faces! But this year I will be off of work due to having surgery, so I think I will decorate the table with theses lovely leaf boxes!!! Would love to make french fry boxes with crayons in for the small kids too! :) Thanks so much for all YOU do!
ReplyDeleteWe don't eat at our house so no need to decorate my table.
ReplyDeleteWe decorate our table with GOOD FOOD!!!!!! Lots and LOTS!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful box! I'm usually visiting out-of-town family at Thanksgiving, so I don't have to decorate!
ReplyDeletethat is the neatest box.....we decorated with things the grandkids make in school....cute stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing how to make this box. I haven't tried one of these yet. I have a big candle with a leaf candle ring that I put in the middle of my table. But I may have to make some cute baskets and paper pumpkins this year for something different! Thanks for the chance to win the Team Spirit cartridge. Would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving table always has a beautiful centerpiece and a special name card for each guest that is a memento to take home. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThat box looks like a hum dinger to put together. You sure made it look simple. Thanks for a chance to win.

Very cute box. I decorate with a cornucopia.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video, I would have cringed trying to put one together had I not seen your wonderful demonstration. We are usually at my sister in laws for Thanksgiving so I don't have a table to decorate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling box! Loved watching your video! I love Thanksgiving! I use a warm yellow tablecloth, iron chargers, and rust and yellow dishes. I build a centerpiece of fall items around a faux pumpkin that says "Give Thanks" . I use matching cloth napkins with color coordinated napkin rings, and I make a place card for each person. I love doing the grandkids' table, too. It is all a labor of love and an expression of thankfulness.Being retired now gives me more time to put things together. :-) I have wonderful memories of Thanksgivings where we all grabbed plates and sat wherever there was space, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful Joy! Thanks for showing us how to make them. I love the idea of nuts in them and as a table place name tag. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper super cute!
ReplyDeleteThose boxes are awesome. It could be used for after dinner mints. I love making a large centerpiece for my table.
ReplyDeleteLove this box! Just thought of a ton of things I could do with it! Adding it to my list! LOL. You did a great job! :D
ReplyDeleteI love that little box & have been meaning to try my hands at making it. Now you've inspired me to do so! Great job, enjoy your videos.
ReplyDeleteBTW, do you think the cricut would but liquid starch stiffened burlap?
DeleteBeautiful goodie box!
ReplyDeleteLove the box! I love to put mirrors with candles and lots of small gourds and pumpkins gathered around the candles on my Thanksgiving table!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so glad I watched the video because that is stinkin' cute! I decorate with food, food, and more food!
ReplyDeleteMini pumpkins and color leaves with cornacopia filled with fresh fruits and nuts. Place cards at each plate with special folded napkins by our grand daughters. Love your box, and the giveaway.
