Continuing on from yesterday! This gift bag uses the new Cup of Cheer stamp set and the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper. The image was inked with Stampin Write Markers.
And this one got a big “thumbs down” from my youngest – the critic! Ha! But here it is, in case it inspires you to do something else! Hugs, Fran
Another challenge card for the December Creative Crew on Splitcoast! This challenge was to create a window on your card. I used the Window Frames Collection Framelits – perfect! The card size is a 5 x 5 and has Ornamental Pines stamped behind it.
The candle on the front was hand cut and the flame is from the Bird punch. I “dripped” Dazzling Diamonds down the side of the candle.
The garland under the candle is made with he branch in the Bird punch – just like the flame. Tie a bow with the Cherry Cobbler seam binding and you have a pretty window card. Play along by using the keyword CCREW1214CF, CreativeCrew, SUO. Hugs, Fran

The Creative Crew challenges on Splitcoast this month start with using non-traditional colors on a Christmas card. I used Melon Mambo, Black and Tempting Turquoise – that’s non-traditional! These pups from Hot Diggity Dog have just spotted the perfect tree! The sentiment was done in My Digital Studio2. Play along using the keyword CCREW1214DF, CreativeCrew, SUO
This little tag is based on a card I saw on Pinterest. I used the Tree Punch on a piece of Under the Tree DSP. Create a 2 x 4 1/2 tag and punch it with one of the tag topper punches. On the tag piece underneath, I wrapped pieces of white satin ribbon and added pearls colored with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. Top with a star and tie a piece of Cherry Cobbler seam binding and you’re good to go.
Don’t forget that the Holiday Extravaganza Doorbusters start today! Check out the list here – Online_Extravaganza_Products_US Hugs, Fran
Today is my Bags and Boxes class and here’s one of the projects we’re making. This box is made with the Box Punch Board using the Under the Tree Designer Series paper. The “bow” is a rosette made with the Rosette die and the snowflake on top was die cut from a coaster using a retired snowflake die.
It’s almost time to think about packing! Hugs, Fran
Karen Burniston’s Challenge – number 3! Blue! I found a lovely poem about snow and growing old and printed it on to Whisper White card stock then die cut it with a die from Karen’s Katie Label Pivot die. The Designer Series paper is All is Calm from Stampin Up’s Holiday mini.
Inside is the Garden Bench, Tree for All Season and Happy Birthday Pop It Ups! To make the Happy Birthday curve across the snow, I simply ran it through my Xyron and the addition of adhesive made it easy to bend.
Can you see all the sparkly Dazzling Details snow? I used acrylic paint to paint some of the branches and added “snow” to the bench and tree (and me, of course!) Hugs, Fran
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

Need a quick trick for Halloween festivities this week? How about a cute witch broom? I used a 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Crushed Curry and cut the long edge with my fringed scissors. Wrap it around a 1 x 8 cello bag filled with treats and tie it up with Baked Brown Sugar twine. To keep the cello bag closed, stamp an image from Tee Hee Hee, punch it out and attach it over the closure of the bag.
Very cute, very fast – a perfect combo when you need something right now! Hugs, Fran
