Days of Christmas: Day 1

Welcome to my Days of Christmas Celebration! We'll have 25 days in all, so I hope you are ready for this!

Today, I've decided to feature a stamp set. This set is from the Holiday Mini Catalog. It's called Tags til Christmas. Not only can you make tags for your gifts, but you can make Christmas cards among other projects.

Here is a card made with the set. I chose the Snowman image from the set, I used a marker to ink it up, because I did not want the "to:/from:" to show, I just wanted the image. I also used a really cute paper in the mini catalog called, Candy Cane Christmas. You'll see more of this paper in future posts. That shimmer you see on the Snowman image, I used our Dazzling Diamonds glitter and 2way glue pen, it's so sparkly!

*I'll posts supplies at the bottom of the post*

This fun project I made is a treat package, or you can use it to wrap something small like earrings, a necklace, or a gift card. I used our Scallop envelope Big Shot die to make the box, with a little alteration. I'll post a tutorial of how to create this later.

Here are four 3x3 gift cards I made. Aren't they so small and cute?! I love little cute things. I've packaged them in a mini brown paper sack with a gorgeous bow. I cut a bit of the top of the bag off, then used my Scallop Border punch to make a fun edge! Isn't that fun?!

How would you like to win the set of four 3x3 cards in the cute brown bag?! Leave a comment on my blog about your favorite Christmas tradition, and I'll draw for you to win. You have until December 1st to post. One entry per person, please.

Thanksgiving Week 3

Here is my third week of Thanksgiving project. Can you believe it?! Time flies.

I've created a card and a matching treat container. I just love the set Day of Gratitude. It's so pretty and it's very versatile. You can use it for a spring card, a Christmas card, anything your imagination can come up with! ( I did case this from another stamper on Splitcoast Stampers, thank goodness us crafters think copying is a form of flattery!)

See what I mean...gorgeous stamp set! I used the rock n' roll technique to create the coloring on the acorn.

My treat container was made using the Candy Wrapper Die from the Holiday Mini. I've got to say, this guy is teenie, but he packs a whollop when it comes to cuteness!

I decided to cut off most of the tabs of the bottom of the candy wrapper so I could make a flat bottom. Perfect for a treat for Thanksgiving guests! Maybe some after dinner mints!

Don't you love the gold embossing on the colored cardstock? That gets a wow every time!
