My name is Andrea, and I live in
Kialla, Victoria, Australia, with my husband Chris, and our three sons. I have always loved papercrafts, and especially handmade greeting cards. I hope you are inspired to create today!

Sour Cream Box
This is a great little container for some special treats, and they come together ver quickly!
I've started with a piece of double sided paper that is A5 (21cm x 14.8cm - half A4) and applied double sided tape to one short side and half way along the long side.
Remove the short sides strip and join sides to form a cylinder.
Remove the second strip and pinch together the end to seal. I like to have the crease just to the side of the pinched edge, it makes it easier when you go to fold in the opposite direction.
Pinch the other open end in the opposite direction so that you have what now looks like a Sunny Boy (for those of us in Australia) :) taking care not to crease the sides.
Now I know exactly where it will be sealed I slide in a piece of double sided tape and adhere along the edge - don't remove the strip until you've filled it with your goodies!
Punch holes to add ribbon and decorate with a tag.
The gift tags are very simple! Take a piece of double sided paper and fold in half. Line your Spellbinders die up so that the fold sits just inside the die, and run through your die cutting machine, and decorate.
