Gift Tags

My friends and I got together for a little bit of stamping earlier this month and this is one of the things we made. It is a cute little box cut out with the Bitty Box & envelope die and four little tags to put inside. We used the Berry Christmas set to create all the projects.

Snowman Bag

My wonderful friend and neighbor Donna gave me the supplies to make this cute Snowman Bag! It's simply a white bag with the top trimmed in the shape of a half circle using a dish and then folded down. I added a hat with some dsp from Merry Moments and a scallop circle with a snowflake. The leaves are from the little leaves sizzlit.

Christmas Nugget Box

This was my project from our last demonstrator meeting. I found this cute idea from Dawn O. It's an easy project that comes together quickly.

Here is the inside with all the Hershey's nuggets!

O Christmas Tree Pop Up

At first glance this card appears to be an ordinary Christmas card. But when you open it you realize that it is an amazing Christmas card! How would you like to receive this card in the mail!
We made this card at our last demonstrator meeting. This was my first time trying a pop up die. My friend Mary made it easy with her detailed directions and precutting and embossing the pieces for us. (Thank you Mary!!) It is so amazing to see it in person.

Don't forget, tomorrow is the last day of holiday sales on the Sizzix Big Shot dies and accessories! Click here to order now!

Snowman Soup & Monogramed Card Set


I loved making these little packets of snowman soup for each of my stamp club members and downline as a thank you! I loved coloring in the cute snowman from the Snow Buddies Stamp set. I used the top note die for the tops and then the Calendar Alpha to stamp each name.

I also made some monogrammed card sets with the Christmas Cocoa specialty designer series paper for my sons' teachers and for some friends. I love the flocking on the paper. Making the card holder is a snap. Just start with an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock and score at 5-1/4" and 5-3/4" with the 11" side at the top. Then turn and score at 6" and 6-1/4". Trim on the score lines from the bottom up to the 6" line and trim away the excess piece. Use eyelets to secure the pockets and wrap some ribbon around the cardholder to finish.

Still more ideas to come!

Christmas Cocoa Packet Pocket Card

Check out who's hiding inside this adorable card!


It's a cute little Gingerbread man with a gift inside!

Mmm, hot chocolate! My friend Donna put together this project for us to make at our last demonstrator meeting. She had already cut a 10-1/2" x 12" piece of real red card stock and scored at 2-3/4" from the left and right side on the 10-1/2" side and 2" on the 12" side.

Then we scored at 5" to the 2-3/4" score line (leaving the center portion of the cardstock unscored) and resumed scoring at the 2-3/4" score line to the bottom. Then we scored one more time at 7"

We then cut at the 2-3/4 vertical score line to the 2" horizontal score line and cut off the piece and repeated this on the other side.

Then we cut on the other side at the 5" horizontal line to the 2-3/4 score line to cut of the 2-3/4" x 7" piece on both sides so you have a "t"

We attached the bottom flap with sticky strip on the sides to create the pocket and then decorated the card with pieces of designer series paper.

This is such a fun project that anyone would enjoy as a gift!

Holiday Organzier

This is a wonderful gift idea for the Holidays to help keep things organized! My downline Kelly made this great Holiday organizer with chocolate chip, not quite navy and garden green, with the Big on Christmas and Snow Buddies stamp sets. I colored in "Noel" and added some shimmer paint that really makes it sparkle!

We started with a 6-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock scored at 2 1/8", 2-1/2", & 7. We sealed the envelopes and cut the tops off and then adhered the tops of the envelopes together.


We used a velcro dot for the back to keep the organizer closed. We used the three envelopes on the inside to hold calendars, lists, receipts and other items.


Stay tuned for more holiday gift ideas!
