Santa Cookie Box

Hi everyone, I'm on the TLC Designs blog today sharing a last minute Christmas gift for those who gather with friends or family after the holidays.




I love to recycle containers and these TLC Designs papers and stamps were a perfect choice to decorate this box.


I began by wrapping ribbon around the box then added the sentiment. 
Paper from the Classic Santa Paper Pad was cut to fit the top.


The largest Star Spangled Confetti die was added to the top. 
The Jingle Time Santa was stamped and colored with Copic Markers, then die cut with the Happy Dragonfly Circle and added to the star.  A mini star was then added to Santa's hands.


Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone.  Christmas will be here before we know it.  The last eight years I've blogged about last minute Christmas ideas you could make in under 60 minutes.  Well, it's that time again and I've got some new projects to share.

BPM - Musical Merry Christmas

 Hi everyone, I'm using some amazing stamps from Blank Page Muse and I Brake for Stamps.




I inked the music background with red ink and placed it on white cardstock.


Merry Christmas was stamped in black ink in the center of the card and then embossed with gold embossing powder.  Next, the panel was then matted with black cardstock.


I die cut a poinsettia and attached it to the card with a large brad.
The panel was added to a red card using foam adhesives for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by.

Quick and Easy Christmas Projects - Day 7

Hi everyone.  Christmas will be here before we know it.  The last eight years I've blogged about last minute Christmas ideas you could make in under 60 minutes.  Well, it's that time again and I've got some new projects to share.

Today I'm sharing quick and easy etched jar containing Reindeer Food.


I started by die cutting reindeer from adhesive paper and then wrapped it around the jar.


Using etchallⓇ etching creme, I covered the reindeer and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes.


After 15 minutes, I scraped off the etching creme and placed it back in its original container.
Etchall is reusable, so there is no waste.
Rinsing and drying off the jar, place it aside to completely dry.


Print out the tag and die cut, then tie it to the jar.

Remember to scatter the Reindeer Food on Christmas Eve.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone.  Christmas will be here before we know it.  The last eight years I've blogged about last minute Christmas ideas you could make in under 60 minutes.  Well, it's that time again and I've got some new projects to share.

Today I'm sharing an easel card with matching candy package.

What fun it is to mix and match papers to create a Christmas card and coordinating gift package.

Rinea Foiled Papers were used to create the boots and branches.
The phrase is a Fairy Hugs stamp.


The candy pouch uses the same Santa Boots, mounted to a large circle.


Thanks for stopping by.
