Christmas Stocking Stuffers

I made a whole bunch of these darling pillow boxes with the Big Shot and Pillow Box diecut.  These last few are going to be stocking stuffers for Christmas eve.

"Christmas Fudge" Bars

I made these bars for teachers and both my daughter's and husband's school.  Just a quick and simple idea to show your appreciation for their service.   I used the Ski Slope papers, wide stitched grosgrain ribbon and the felt snowflakes from the Holiday Mini catalog.

 

This poem is adhered to the backside of the large Hersey's bars:

Dashing thru the malls

With presents yet to buy

Cooking, wrapping, decorating

Life’s so crazy!  Why?

 

Bells on our telephone ring

The machine must take the call.

We have not time for family or friends

It drives us up the wall.

 

How are you?  How’s your life?

We really want to know.

Hope you’re ready for Christmas.

Maybe we’ll see snow.

 

A day or two ago.

We thought we’d make a treat.

For all our special friends –

A Christmas gift to eat.

 

Our intentions were top notch.

But our schedules wouldn’t budge.

So here’s this year’s edition

Of homemade Christmas fudge.

Candy Cane Holders

I made these candy cane treats for my daughter's class party today.  I needed 25 so this was a perfect project idea.  Simply cut your cardstock into 2 1/4 x 11 strips and score at 6 3/4 and 7. Form a simple pouch and staple shut.  I dressed mine up with Ski Slope papers, ribbon and punches.  Quick and easy!

 

Hannah's Gift

I've seen these card holders shaped like magazine racks but have not made them yet.  Hannah included three with her gift and shared the pattern.  I hope I can make some card gift sets soon - I just love these!

Debbie's Gift

  

Isn't this an awesome canvas!  Debbie decorated a plain white canvas with the Holiday Treasures papers and die cuts.  It's ready to add a family and be on display for the holidays!   

Abbey's gift

Isn't this "Album in a Box" from Abbey just amazing?  The box is stunning from the outside but then you open it and just have to say WOW!  :-)  Lots of glitter, bling and great use of color and the Big Shot machine and dies.

Shadai's gift

Scrapbooking alert...  You are going to want to make this mini scrapbook album!  Shadai did such a wonderful job creating her gift.  She used the "I Wish" Simply Scrapping Kit to embellish her scrapbook album in a CD/DVD tin.  She heat embossed with silver embossing powder on the outside metal of the tin.  Gorgeous!

     

Jeanine's Gift

This is the gift that I won at the Christmas gift exchange.  Jeanine brought it, and isn't she such a talented stamper!  We both started stamping about 5 years ago when I signed up to be a demonstrator.  It took a few more years for Jeanine but she eventually signed up, too.  We have so much fun stamping and attending events together!  :-)

Okay, I could have cropped that photo, don't ya think?  I call this project "Cards in a Jar."  What a fun gift for someone!  The decorated jar holds 3x3 love note sized cards and envelopes.  There are sixteen in my jar. 

Stamp Crazy Girls Christmas Party

Yesterday was so much fun!  We exchanged gifts, laughed, stamped and ate - what more do you need?  As promised I am going to post pictures of all the gifts and the stamp projects that we made.  But first here's a picture of some of the gals in my downline:

 

Starting from the top left:  Jeanine, Shadai, Abbey, Hannah, and Debbie.  :-)  Thanks for coming, ladies!  I am going to try to have the party earlier in the year next time so more of my downline can attend. 

January is an awesome time to join my team - new year, new adventure - just email me for details.
