Okay, that’s not too sneaky!  That’s Bootiful Occasions.  But when you open it –

you see something fun!  I LOVE cards that pop and you will love the new Pop N Cuts Dress form dies in the Spring Mini!  I didn’t even unpack my box of “goodies” – I just grabbed these dies and started making a Mrs. Claus scene.  I did add a few popping bases for the presents on the floor and the package and hat on the mantle – but this die is so easy. We are going to have a fun spring

Snowman and Rudolph Tealights

Becky Roberts did a great tutorial on how to make these – you can find it here.  I added Rudolph to my collection (and hangers to make them ornaments.)  The antlers on Rudolph are the retired Scribbles and Swirls die.  If you use this die, double it – it’s very delicate and needs some extra “umph.” 

I’ll share a sneak peek with you tomorrow from the upcoming Spring Mini.  I hate to rush it – but there is one project/product that has me swooning – so I think I’ll go ahead and share it   Hugs, Fran

Here’s another idea for a quick gift bag.  This uses a small paper bag (mine is 3 1/2 x 6 3/4) and your Holiday Framelits.  You will need to open the side of the bag out to die cut it or you will get little “vents” in the side.  (Seriously, you will!) 

After you have die cut your image, fold the bag back to normal and run through your Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.  Cover the openings with window sheets and decorate.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Come to Bethlehem
card stock – Neutral Pack, Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer paper
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Holiday Framelits, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, gold cord, window sheets, Modern Label punch, Large Delicate Doilies die, gold embossing powder, star punch

Make It Tall

This is two Fancy Favor bags put together to make it taller.  To make this bag, die cut 2 Fancy Favor bags (I used two different patterns here), cut the bottom flaps off of the one you want to be on the top.  Line up the score marks and attach to the top.  You will want to use glue or sticky strip to make it strong.  That’s it – easy!  I closed mine with a clothespin

Supplies
Stamp set – Scentsational Season, Sweets for the Sweet
card stock – Be of Good Cheer, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Silver Glimmer paper
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Etc – Holiday Framelits, Gumball Green ribbon, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, clothespin, rhinestone, Dazzling Details, Sugar and Spice embossing powder

Clothespin Spin

This is what I made for our team gift exchange.  It’s a fun project that can be altered for any occasion.  Here’s how you do it –

Die cut two pieces of chipboard using the 3″ circle die.  Set aside the circles and die cut around the negative with the 4″ circle die.  This gives you two doughnut shapes.  Glue them together and paint them white.  The clothespins are heavy – I used heavy chipboard for this part. 

Cover approximately 25 clothespins on both sides.  For these clothespins, I cut my paper 3/8″ x about 3″.  Glue them down.  Any clear drying glue will do.  This one is the same on the front and back.  You could make it multi-season by using different paper on each side. 

Tie a long piece of Cherry Cobbler seam binding to your base and start placing your clothespins around the edge.  Once I got it spaced the way I wanted, I glued one side down just where the pins touch the base.  Then I added a banner.

And a cute gift needs a cute box   The finished size of this box is 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 (which give you a better idea of the finished size of the wreath!)

Really?  These clothespins are for laundry?  Hugs, Fran

Need something to hold a little gift?  Here’s the Petite Purse die dressed up just for Santa.  The band on the front is 3/4″ wide and the buckle is 1″ brushed gold square with a 3/4″ black center.  This was another project from my gift bag class – so easy and cute!

This is one of the gift bags we did in my Gift Bags and Boxes class yesterday.  It’s a Fancy Favor box with a Scentsational Gingerbread Man on the front.  The closure is a decorated clothes pin. 

The candy piece is 5-6 punches with the stamped image on top.  Add Dazzling Detail for some sparkle!  The people at my grocery store have to wonder what I’m doing with all these clothes pins!
