Christmas Buttermilk Carton Placeholder

Hey, There!

I decided I wanted to make a simple treat box I could use for our placeholders at the Christmas dinner table, and the Memory Box Buttermilk Carton is a perfect solution.

The name will go on a strip of card beneath the ornament. (I apologize for the somewhat washed out photo - the picture doesn't do the tree dies' embossing justice.)

S U P P L I E S

Memory Box Dies (Advent Calendar, Buttermilk Carton, Frosted Pine Tree, Frosted Spruce Tree, Small Flock of Doves) and Stamp (Snow Flurry); Cardstock: Desert Storm (Neenah); Ink: Frost White Pigment (ColorBox); Accents: gems (My Mind's Eye); Ribbons: Martha Stewart, generic lace; Other: foam dimensional tape, Score Tape, mini-glue dots

I N S T R U C T I O N S

1. Die cut Buttermilk Carton and assemble.
2. Stamp and heat set each set of the carton.
3. Wrap lace around carton top and adhere with glue dots.
4. Tie ribbon into bow and adhere. 
5. Die cut trees, birds, and date ornament.
6. Adhere with dimensional tape: trees, then birds.
7. Adhere gems.
8. Write name on tag and adhere to slanted part of carton (not shown here).
9. Adhere ornament with gem to center of ribbon.

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

What an unusual idea...my granddaughters will also love making one for Santa and putting his name on it with his plate of cookies and glass of milk!
