Cookie Box

Milano Cookie BoxMilano Cookie Box Opened

I saw these cookies packaged in a Christmas theme and immediately plopped them into my basket as I knew I could make something cute to put it in.  The Envelope Punch Board did the trick!  It makes it so easy to give a little “thinking of you” gift to a co-worker or friend.  You could even place a gift card inside too!

Winter Frost Money Holder

Money HolderIt is always nice to have something to put a check or cash in over the holidays. I made this money holder using our Winter Frost paper.  I will be sad to see this paper go in a few weeks. If you love it as much as I do, be sure to get it while you can!  I made a belly band to keep the holder closed and embellished it using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching Framelits.  It really, really sparkles in person but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get a photo that showed how pretty it is!

Snowman Candy Holder

Snowman Candy Holder Snowman Candy HolderI had mentioned that I was working on a larger candy bar holder and here it is.  As soon as I saw this large, cute candy bar (the chocolate is actually embossed with the design on the wrapper), I knew I wanted to make a holder for it with my Envelope Punch Board.  It is so easy to make and can be assembled in no time!  The hardest part was figuring out the correct measurements.  I finally pulled out my stamp set “Tag It” (why did I wait so long???) and used this cute Santa Claus.  It was easily cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits.

Candy Holder #3

Open Ended Candy HolderOk, I am on a candy holder kick!  This one is a bit different from the last several days.  Instead of closing the bottom, you just leave it open.  I have to admit that it has been very hard not eating these chocolate marshmallow Santas.  I LOVE milk chocolate covered marshmallow!  Have you ever had the Rocky Road from Sees??  OMG!  Love it!

Color Me Christmas

Christmas WishesI love this stamp set, Color Me Christmas.  Do you love to color as much as I do?? I find it so relaxing.  Whenever you are going to color in an image using a blender pen or Aqua Painter, you want to use watercolor paper with Staz-On so that your colors won’t run.   I used my Stampin’ Markers and Aqua Painter to color each section.  When using water, you want to be sure that one section is dry before you start a section that will touch it. I used Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine along the top from one side to the other so that it would look as though my stockings are hung up.  The finishing touch was a little bow on each stocking again using the Baker’s Twine.  I attached the bows with glue dots that I compressed to make as small as possible. My sentiment is from the set Joy to the World.   The idea for this card came from Andrea Walford.  I am a member of her Paper Crafter’s Library and I love her ideas.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by!
