Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve! If you’re anything like me, you’re getting last minute things done for the big day tomorrow! I went out very early this morning for a few more gift cards and some last minute groceries.  It was great because the parking lots were empty and I zipped in and out. Crowds drive me crazy so it worked out perfectly this morning!

I’ll be enjoying a nice mug of hot chocolate later today.  It wasn’t on my agenda but when I saw the picture above, it looked very festive and cozy!

I’ll be taking a blogging break for a few days as I enjoy time with my family! I hope you’re able to spend some quality time with your loved ones, too!

Merry Christmas!!

Quick and Easy Thank You Card

I needed a thank you card the other day and whipped this up in no time.  When I find a card sketch I like, it’s really easy to quickly make a card. If I know the recipients favorite color, I try and choose that color for the card, grab matching cardstock, matching ink and a sentiment and I’m ready to create! I love the Stampin’ Up! coordination of matching inks, cardstock and Designer Series Paper.  (more…)

Envelope Punch Board Envelope

The Envelope Punch Board is a great tool for creating your own envelopes.  For today’s project I have an envelope that will fit a Stampin’ Up! die and there’s a video too.  To make you own custom envelope, just refer to the front of the Envelope Punch Board.  You’ll need a few measurements and then the chart will tell you what size your paper needs to be and where to score and punch.   (more…)

All is Bright Lotion Holder

I have another idea for you that would be great as a stocking stuffer or a little gift if you’re a Secret Santa for someone.  A hand lotion fits perfectly inside that I purchased at World Market.  In fact it matches the soap I used to make the box in this video here.   (more…)

Happy Monday!

Before I share my project today, I’d like to thank everyone who left a comment on Friday’s post, Glitter Queens Blog Hop Tags & Bags.  I read each and every comment and each one made me smile! I promised a package of Pearls to one person ( I wish I could send them to everyone).  The winner was the 26th comment by Grammajoni! Congratulations! Thank you again to everyone for all of the truly kind comments! 

 

Today’s project is something that you could use as a Secret Santa gift or a stocking stuffer!  Inside each box is a bar of scented soap I found at World Market.  Follow along with my video below and create your own!  (more…)
