The fourth challenge this month for the Creative Crew at Splitcoast is packaging. I chose the Decorative Window Gift Box with a wreath over the opening. The “ribbon” is a strip of card stock wrapped all the way around. I didn’t want the box to collapse so I lined the bottom with Real Red and make a punched doughnut to cover the opening on the inside.

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Wondrous Wreath, Merry Stars

Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White

Ink – Old Olive, Garden Green, Real Red

Etc – Decorative Windows Gift Box, Wondrous Wreath Framelits, 2 1/2 and 1 3/4 circle punches

Can’t wait to fill this box! Hugs, Fran

Tiny Trees

Challenges, Christmas

Comments

One of the Creative Crew challenges on Splitcoast this month is Holiday Focus – and I chose Christmas decorating. This little tree is made by tearing Typeset Designer Series paper into squares – starting at 2 1/2″ and working in 3’s down to 1 1/4″ – and poking them onto a bamboo skewer with chipboard square between each piece. After they were all on the skewer, I sprayed the tree with spray adhesive and covered it with glitter. Put a styrofoam ball in the bottom of a small container and stick the skewer into the ball. I used shred to cover the top of the bucket. Punch 2 little stars out of Glimmer paper and hot glue them to the top of skewer. You can make an entire forest of these little gems to decorate your home! Play along by using the key word CCREW1114HF CreativeCrew SUO!

There was a light sprinkling of snow yesterday so I guess the holidays really are just right around the corner! Hugs, Fran

Another Wine Topper – same design as here – but done in Pistachio Pudding. They are kind of addicting 🙂 And here’s a more masculine topper using Santa Stache.

Now I’m wondering if this would fit over a different sort of bottle! Hugs, Fran

Banner Framelits, Christmas, Holiday Mini, Mingle All the Way

Comments

Nothing like a bottle of something sparkly as a gift for someone special! This wine bottle topper uses the super cute Mingle All The Way as the perfect stamp for this tag. The tag itself is 3 1/2″ x 9 ” scored at 3″. The bottle neck opening is 1 3/4″ I embellished the tag with Silver Glimmer paper and a cute, cute tag from Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (page 7 in the Holiday mini – 135865) Then I stamped the sentiment and added some Dazzling Details in the glass.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way

Card stock – Garden Green, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer

Ink – Memento Tux Black

Etc – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blendabilities, Star embossing folder, Banner Framelits, Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, Dazzling Details, Cherry Cobbler ribbon, 1 3/4″ circle punch

So now I have something cute to dress up my gift giving this holiday season – and so do you! Hugs, Fran

It’s a Masculine challenge for the Karen Burniston team – and I’m starting off with a nutcracker and the Katie Label Accordion die. I used the Katie Holly Frame Edge in Garden Green around the edges. The Nutcracker is from Stampin’ Up’s Santa Stache and he’s colored with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities.
