Wondrous Wreath 01

Here’s a project that I did for the Splitcoast Creative Crew 🙂  The challenge is for the Scrapbook and More Focus: Make a treat and package it. Come play with us!

I used Wondrous Wreath and the new Cafe Bags to make this.  First I ran the bag through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain embossing folder then I stamped the wreath. I punched a tiny hole using the smallest hand held punch to attach the Wooden Essential leaf. All the supplies are listed here.

Wondrous Wreath has a matching die set and markers on the stamps so you can line them up.  It’s very easy to do.  The tag on the bag was made with For All Things which is a beautiful Fall set.  You can play along with all the challenges this month by heading here –

Get Your Santa On 01

Today’s the day you can start ordering from the Holiday Mini!  The Gift Box Punch Board (135863) is my favorite product in the catalog.  Here is a little box made with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper and Get Your Santa on stamp set for the tag.  I used the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color the Santa and Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the “JOY” banner.  Tied up with new Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, you have a sweet package to hold your gift!  Have fun making your Holiday Mini List and checking it twice!  Your package is sure to be nice 🙂  Hugs, Fran

For All Things 02

This card is based on the card in the Holiday Mini on page 46.  That card has an envelope behind it but I added the color to the front.  Then I decided to mix it up a bit –

Ornamental Pine 01

Isn’t this a pretty stamp set?  It’s called Ornamental Pine and will be available in two days in the Holiday Mini!  I used Lost Lagoon as the base, stamped the background with the pine several times and then embossed the pine and pinecone in white embossing powder.  To finish it off, I sprayed the entire card with shimmer spray.

25 Days 01

Thinking about Christmas?  Or how about a birthday party?  These little Tiny Treat Boxes (135829) are 2 x 2 x 2 and can be used for lots of things.  Here I simply copied the idea on page 12 of the Holiday Mini.  I used the 25 Days stamp set and stacked them into a tree.  But I see lots of ideas for the boxes and stamp set.  This will be a great set for Project Life!  But for this project – it’s a Count Down to Christmas.  Now I have plenty of time to find things to fill it 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Mingle All the Way 01

My favorite new thing in the Holiday Mini?  The Gift Box Punch Board of course!  This wonderful tool makes the cutest boxes is many sizes – the largest being 4 x 4.  Here I used the new Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series paper to create a Christmas box.  The paper is really heavy – perfect for these boxes! Around the sides I added trees.  There is a new punch in the mini that makes trees – but these were made with the banner punch.  I topped it off with the new Mingle All the Way stamp set and the Banner Framelits.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way

Card stock – Under the Tree DSP, Whisper White. Garden Green DSP, Not Quite Navy

Ink – Jet Black Stazon

Etc – Stampin Write markers (Real Red, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy) Gift Box Punch Board, Pennant punch, Banner Framelits, Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, Linen thread

Freaky Friends 01

Boo bags!  These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags.  I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins.  This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows.  To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.

Freaky Friends 02

And added some bats 🙂

Stamp Sets – Freaky Friends, Larger Than Life

Card stock – Bermuda Bay/Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP

Ink – Jet Black Stazon

Etc – Polka Dot Gift Bags, Fun Frames embossing folders, In Color Mini Clothespins
