Cocoa Mug


I discovered a fun way to package up a little gift of some hot chocolate! Using this tutorial from SplitCoast Stampers, I created this mug with the Sizzix pillow box die! I used kraft cardstock and the polka dot background on 3 cut outs from the pillow box die. I put some marshmallows, cocoa mix, and some hershey's kisses in little bags tied up with ribbon and a candy cane in the mug. I wrapped some Christmas Cocoa DSP and some ribbon from the Holiday mini catalog around the mug and used the Sweet Season stamp set to stamp the sentiment and layered it with a real read circle scallop punch cut in half.

Christmas Notepad Holder


I love making gifts for Christmas and this is one of my favorites to make - A Christmas Notepad Holder! I started with an 8'1/2"x11 sheet of cardstock and scored it at 5-3/8" & 5-5/8". I placed a piece of 1x5 Christmas Cocoa designer series paper across the top of the notepad and placed it inside the holder.
To create the front I used a piece of 5"x 8-1/4" piece of Christmas Cocoa designer series paper and the Berry Christmas stamp set. I stamped the wreath in sahara sand, then the tree branch and bow in soft suede and the berries in real red. I used the Merry Details sizzlit to cut out the real red bird and soft suede & sahara sand trees. I added "Christmas" from the Merry Christmas stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set on the Merry embosslit tag with a stamp-a-ma-jig.

Snowflake Gift Card Box


At my stamp club last night, we this cute little snowflake box with three cards and envelopes to go inside. We started by making our own stencil with a 3x3 piece of a window sheet and the ornament punch. Then we swirled some bash blue ink with a sponge dauber onto the card using the ornament stencils we created. Then we stamped the medium snowflake from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set in silver with the stencil still in place.

Then we layered it on some bashful blue cardstock and punched a 1/16th circle in the top of the ornament and tied some silver elastic cord into a bow on the ornament. We used dimensionals to place it on a 3x6 piece of night of navy folded in half.

We stamped the greetings from Christmas Greeting inside the cards.

For the box we started with a 3-1/2" x 8'1/2" piece of Night of Navy and stamped the large and small snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set all over the box. The box was scored and 3/4" across the bottom and at 3 -1/4", 4", 7-1/4", 8" lengthwise. Then the right hand corner was cut away and the bottom score lines were cut up to the 3/4" score line. We put it together with some sticky strip on the right 1/2" panel and then some on one of the bottom panels.

Here is a video tutorial I created on how to make your own stencil and some different ornament cards and tags:

Fall Decor Candle Wrap


Here is a quick gift idea that will fill the air with the sweet smell of fall! I wheeled the Thankful jumbo wheel with versamark on some old olive cardstock and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I wrapped it around the candle, added some crushed curry polka-dot grosgrain ribbon and stamped give thanks from the Holiday Best hostess stamp set. I also added some leaves from the Sizzix leaves die behind the sentiment.
