Candy Cane Envelope Card.

This card features the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper and 

the Got Treats set.

The envelope is the made with the Scallop Envelope (page 206), 

by folding the Designer Series paper and placing it on the 

3rd scallop, making it a taller envelope.

The image was stamped on Whisper White and matted on 

 Blushing Bride card stock.

The silver clip, 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain

and rhinestones were added to "bling" it out.

Beautiful Butterflies Mini Notebook

 

This is a fast, fun little gift project, using the Big Shot

Beautiful Butterflies Die.  Just cut front and back covers, 

and Designer Series Paper (Bella Bleu in this example).

 Glue the DP to the cover (and inside if you want to)

and wrap a ribbon around to form the butterfly body.

 

Cut out notebook paper with the Beautiful Butterflies

Die and Big Shot.    Punch through all the layers with 

your Crop-A-Dial.   Put a ring through the hole and you're done.

If you want to put the first initial of the person you are gifting
the notepad to, it makes it a personalized gift.

This really is a very fast little project!

On Board Heart Basket

A demonstrator by the name of Aimee Gandara published a heart

basket on her blog.   This is my version.

The back and front heart portions of this basket

are made out of the On Board Heart

Book on page 34 of the Occasions Mini.  I cut a piece off the bottom

of each heart and then covered them with designer series paper from

the SAB paper pack.  I made a small box to hold the 2 hearts together

and form the basket.  The handle and one heart, are made out of

Sending Love Designer Series Paper.  The Full Heart Punch and

Big Shot Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits (page 15) were

used to cut out the hearts.  The sentiment is from the Level 1 hostess

set, Picture This, and trimmed out with a Chocolate Chip Epoxy Brad

(page 13).   The Pinking Heart Border Punch was layered beneath

Real Red Wide Grosgrain.

This basket will actually hold card or candy (or other

treats that you come up with)!

Christmas Cocoa Thick Windowsheet box

I hope that everyone is enjoying preparations for Thanksgiving. I'm nursing a little "sinus event" so am thankful for the opportunity to sleep in.

DON'T FORGET to check out the Holiday Extranaganza!!   The specials are really pretty special!

The Christmas gift above is a simple box, made out of the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper on page 21 of the SU Holiday Mini.  After scoring the box, I cut a square out of one side with my 12 inch cutter.   Then, I cut out a small piece of Thick Window Sheet (page 158 of the main catty) and ran it through the Big Shot Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder.   It makes a pretty designer-look window.  I lined the inside of the opening with Sticky Strip and positioned the Window Sheet.  Use the Ornament Punch to punch out a tag, wrap with ribbon and it's ready to fill with the candy of your choice.  

Sooooo, the Window Sheet is not just for Scrapbooking any  more!

Christmas Gift Jar

 

Sorry that I have not been blogging.  I did complete my Will, etc with my Lawyer today, so now I can stamp again!  It does feel good to have ones "affairs in order".

Let's talk Christmas Gifts.   This one is very quick and easy.  It is a canning-type jar, with the beautiful Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper (Holiday Mini) cut to fit in the lid.  I determined the desired circle size and used my Circle Scissors Plus to quickly cut out the DP.  Throw some candies inside and add a little ribbon and you can produce a bunch of pretty presents in no time!

In the second example, I added a Christmas label that was cut using the Big Shot Lots of Tags Sizzlit Die.  Any way you decide to go, I think the flocked paper simply makes this gift presentation.
