Simply Sketched Sympathy

Just a quick card today with so much going on getting ready for Christmas.  Sadly, the unhappy side of life doesn't take a holiday.  A friend of our office passed away on Sunday, so out comes the sympathy set.

Tissue Holder Get Well

There are several of these out on the internet, so I don't know who is the original creator, but here is my version.  The last one I saw had Christmas decor.  It just seems to me if you give someone Kleenex, it's because they have a cold, right?  LOL

This was very easy to put together and you can get two boxes from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock and from a 12" x 12" piece of DSP you can have enough paper to make three boxes!  

Cut the 8 1/2" x 11" card stock in half (long ways) at 4 1/4" x 11"
Score at 4 1/2", 7", 8" and 10 1/2" - use your bone folder to get nice crisp fold lines

Cut your 12" x 12" DSP (I used Afternoon Picnic - 131390) into three equal 4" wide pieces.
Cut your 4" strip into the following measurements:

(2) 4" x 4 1'4" - this will cover the front and the back of the largest area of your card stock
(1) 4" x 2 1/4" - this will be where your tissue will pull through
(1) 4" x 3/4" - this is on the front view small fold

Attach the DSP to the card stock that you've scored and folded.  You'll know exactly where all the pieces go - so simple!

Take the Extra Large Oval Punch and after folding over the smallest 1/2" section place the 4" x 2 1/4" area into the punch - center it and punch - lots of muscle power will be needed, so be prepared!

Place a piece of Sticky Strip on the small 1/2" part for attaching to the front of the 4" x 4 1/4".  You definitely want to use the Sticky Strip so that it will stay firmly attached.  I use it with all of my 3-D projects.  It's important that they don't fall apart.

Before you slide your pack of tissues inside, fussy cut an oval so that the tissues will flow more freely through the oval punched area.

Decorate according to your needs and you've got a great little Tissue Holder for any occasion!

... and now for something that's not Christmas...

In the midst of Christmas preparation and decorating, there are a couple of important birthdays that can't be forgotten.  You may think this is for little boys, but you'd be very wrong.  They are all grown up and both are Grandfather's in fact.  LOL

I just thought they needed something fun.  

There's even more fun inside... take a look.
