Love the little Dahlias!  Aren’t they cute as a Christmas tree?

Supplies
Stamp Set – Tiny Tags
card stock – Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Champagne Glitter paper,  Be of Good Cheer DSP
Stampin Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green
Etc – Tasteful Trim die, Dahlias, Linen Thread, Top Note die, star punch, Little Label punch

The dahlias can be applied with glue dots.  I used glue so that I would have a little wiggle room in getting them lined up straight.  Use a ruler to line up the bottom row. 

Hugs, Fran

It’s the Gingerbread family!  And, while you’ve seen a lot of the Scentsational Seasons parents around here – the children have been hanging out in the Got Treats set.  You can adjust this up or down as fits your own family.  The bows/bow ties are the little cross shaped punch in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack. 

Supplies

card stock – Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Snow Festival DSP
Ink – Chocolate Chip
Etc – 3 1/2 circle die, Holiday Collection Framelit, sewing machine, Dotted embossing folder, pearls, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, small heart punch, Decorative Label punch, MDS (for the sentiment.)

This is one of the boxes (could you call this a box?) we will be making at my Gift Boxes class in December.  It’s made with the Petal Cone and Snow Flurry die.  I had a hard time getting the Bashful Blue to photograph and still look Bashful.  There are lots of sweet little details on this pouch, but the photo just would not cooperate with me.  Hugs, Fran

Cased from a card that was shown at Convention, this was so fun to do!

I used 3/4″ wide strips of Snow Festival Designer Series paper (cut at various lengths) and rolled them around a bamboo skewer.  Then I sprayed the entire front with Shimmer (alcohol and shimmer frost ink)spray.  It sparkles! And since I was watching the election results – and it was a long night – I continued rolling –

Here’s a few hints – I used glue to adhere them – but I’d recommend a glue gun unless you’re very patient.   Draw your Christmas tree triangle on your grid paper or a piece of copy paper first.  That will help you determine how long to cut each strip.  Find any and everything sparkly in your stash to decorate your tree. 

Hugs, Fran

Lots and Lots of texture going on here.  I’m not sure if you can see it but I put the squares on the Top Note die, cut it out and ran it through the Big Shot using the Fan embossing folder.  Not to mention that the Early Espresso layer is embossed with the Square Lattice folder, the mug is heat embossed with the yummy Sugar and Spice embossing powder and there are rhinestones.  Overboard!  But I like it.

Santa Owl

Santa Owls on covered clothespins, holding little Petite Pocket Treats.  Thought I’d show you two of them because the one on the right is the one that works best.  The Tagged for Christmas tag on the left is too high – making it harder to open the package.  To do the tag – Dimensionals are placed just on the bottom so that the flap on the Petite Pocket can just tuck in.  Here’s a side view.
