Merry Little Christmas Card from Ours to Yours

Dec 5, 2017 | Cards, Christmas, Gallery, Holiday | 4 comments

Wishing you a Merry Little Christmas from our family to yours.  I just love the elegant classic look that the Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Whisper White give this card.  The Swirly Snowflake dies give this card a “fancy” sort of look.  I added a punch of red in the center with a little heart from the Regals Enamel Shapes.

Iconic Christmas Tree Card

Dec 4, 2017 | Cards, Christmas, Gallery, Holiday | 2 comments

I’m having a little fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Iconic Christmas stamp set this morning and decided it would look great on a 6″ x 6″ card base.  The larger card required a custom envelope – that’s when I LOVE our handy dandy Envelope Punch Board.  One piece of Designer Series Paper and a little adhesive and you have an awesome custom envelope that coordinates perfectly with the card!

Nov 30, 2017 | Christmas, Food, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday | 2 comments

I wanted to make something very small for a large group, when I came across Mini Tic Tacs. Well, the boxes are mini, not the Tic Tacs themselves. The tiny container holds about 9-10 Tic Tacs. Perfect! But how to dress them up? I needed something really easy that I could make a lot of quickly. Today I’m sharing what I came up with.
