Holiday goodies

So here are some great little holiday treats I worked on for the craft shows I did over the past couple of months. These are super cute and easy ideas that anyone can do.

These were made mostly with punches. The ornaments are really easy to put together. The problem is being able to find peppermint patties in the foil paper wrapping and not the plastic wrappers.

Rudolph was made with:

Soft Suede and Crumb Cake card stock

Ovals #2 die (use the 2nd largest oval)

Scribble Swirls sizzlit die

wiggle eyes and red pom poms

The Angel was made with:

Whisper White, Blushing Bride and So Saffron card stock

Butterfly Wings Bigs XL die

Scallop Circle and 1 3/8" Circle punch

wiggle eyes

Blushing Bride Stampin' Write marker

Snowman was made with:

Whisper White, Basic Black and Poppy Parade card stock

1 3/4" circle, Word window, Modern Label Extra Large and 1 3/8" Square Extra Large punch

wiggle eyes and orange pom poms

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you've been inspired to try holiday punch art.

Original Treat box sample

So here is the last installment of my treat box samples. I am sure by now you are probably a little bored with looking at these. Not to despair. I will be back tomorrow with a whole new series of great little projects that you too can create.

For today I have the original box and tag that I came up with for my most recent workshop. Again once you have the base for the idea you can let your imagination run wild and come up with just about anything and everything you can think of.

Take a look and see:

Have you fallen in love with

the paper from the Deck the Halls Designer series yet? If you have and would like to order some make sure you do so before January 3rd.

So this is the two of them side by side. They go so well together. If you haven't also noticed by now I love things that look aged or antique. It's a far cry from where I was many years ago. I hadn't found the look of antique to be inspiring. Maybe it could just be I hadn't been shown the right technique yet.

This is the tag I came up with. As you might be able to see I decided to cut out the medallion stamp from the Day of Gratitude stamp set out instead to give the project a little lift. It is probably a little more layered than it should be, especially for the little pocket I need to squeeze it into. I used the rock and roll technique on the medallion in Always Artichoke and Soft Suede for the edges. I also sponged the edges of the medallion in Soft Suede after I cut it out.

Products used on box:

Soft Suede textured card stock and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper

Products used on tag:

Naturals Ivory and Always Artichoke card stock

Always Artichoke, Soft Suede and Cherry Cobbler ink, Chocolate Chip ink for antique edging of tag.

Day of Gratitude and Grateful Greetings stamp sets

Christmas Treat box tag and sample

Here is yet another sample that I made for that great treat box. I love the holidays. I grew up not celebrating them, that's not really why I love them. To me they symbolize being together with my loved ones and ones near and dear to my heart that I don't get tosee often.

Anyway here is another christmas sample. Hope you like it.

As you can see this time around I didn't cover up Hershey's nuggets. Instead I put 5 of one of my favorite holiday candies (peppermint puffs) in the treat box instead.

Here's a close up of the tag.

Products used on treat box:

Cherry Cobbler card stock and Deck the Halls Designer series paper.

Products used on tag:

More Mustard and Naturals Ivory card stock (if you haven't noticed by now I love this particular card stock a lot, especially for the base of a project)

Stazon ink

Workshop fun

I demonstrated for my first workshop in months this past Thursday. My hostess had never been to a Stampin' Up! workshop before so she was extremely excited to see what we have to offer. I demonstrated how to create a quick and easy hand sanitizer gift. The finished product was similar to the one displayed here:

This little cutie holds a mini hand sanitizer. Since it was a cupcake scented sanitizer I thought why not put a cupcake on the front of the box. These hand sanitizers come from Bath and Body Works. Cute huh? I first learned how to make these from my upline and good friend Kimberly's blog.

Supplies used for hand sanitizer:

Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler and Pretty in Pink card stock

1/8" Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon

Sizzix Embossing Folders Square Lattice and Perfect Polka Dots

After demonstrating this little gem to give to my hostess we began working on the project of the evening. I found the idea for this at Splitcoaststampers.com. It was a featured project and I thought it was really cute. It incorporated both a 3-D design and card-making. I modified the original pattern a little bit and here is what we made:

The box on the side holds 5 Herhey's nuggets perfectly. The pocket on the right makes a good spot to hold a gift tag. What a great gift to give to a teacher, co-worker, or someone special. I am picturing these as thank you's for wedding, birthday, anniversary party etc. as well. The tag below fits nicely into the pocket and you can still write a little note on the backside.

I have a couple of other designs of this box and will post those soon.

Supplies used for treat box:

Soft Suede card stock

Deck the Halls designer series paper

Supplies used for tag:

Naturals Ivory and Always Artichoke card stock

Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede and Always Artichoke classic ink
