Christmas Countdown-Day 2

Today, I'm sharing with you a quick little treat holder/Christmas ornament. They are made from a paper sack using the Sizzix Big-Shot and the Top Note die and hold a snack-size candy inside. I think they would be a neat way to give a gift card as well, maybe hanging on the Christmas tree.

Here, I used a white lunch sack and decorated it with the Snow Day stamp set. A little bit of Tombow Multi-Purpose glue holds the bag sides together along 3 sides. And the holder is piece of the 1/8" Silver Taffeta ribbon from the Holiday catalog.

This little treat bag is where I found my inspiration. We made these at my adopted upline's Christmas meeting. It's from a lunch sack and hung with a piece of yarn. It is decorated with the Wishing You stamp set from the Holiday catalog.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back tomorrow.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
