If you need a fun way to wrap up a bag of treats for someone this holiday season – try this idea. Use one of our gusseted cellophane bags and add a piece of designer paper to the inside to give it some shape and a fun tag to the outside. The bag idea was shared over the summer at convention and this one with the snowman tag was shared by Janet Wakeland. There are so many creative demonstrators out there with awesome ideas. Here is the one I made:
I filled these with white chocolate covered pretzels. I made some in silver like this one and others in gold. I also used both red and green enamel dots on the little snowman hat.
Here is the full list of supplies:

Use this as a quick idea to have treats for teachers or neighbors this holiday season.

It won’t be too long before my boys will be back home for the Holidays. I’m very excited to have them all home again. Before they are all back Tyler will be graduating from college – it’s next Tuesday. His brother’s won’t be here for the ceremony since they are out of state but we will be celebrating as a family right before Christmas.
The card I’m sharing today shares the Home for the Holidays sentiment. It’s made with the stamps and edgelits that are in the Jingle All The Way Bundle.
I used all three edgelits that are in the set and cut them from 3 different layers of card stock. The sleigh is from Whisper White, the trees in the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the houses in the Smoky Slate. I used my Big Shot and the Precision Base Plate to cut all the edgelits. If you don’t have the Precision Base Plate yet you may want to get it this week – it is part of the weekly deals so you can get it on sale! It provides a firmer surface for getting clean cuts on the detailed dies – like these edgelits, the words and the detailed thinlits. There is a new heart thinlit coming in the Occasions Catalog that you will need the Precision Base Plate for getting a good clean cut. So I’m telling you now to place an order.

December trots on. So fast – we are already one week down. Wasn’t it just December 1st? With time going so fast that just means it won’t be long before my boys are back home. I’m flipping my countdown calendar as the days pass by. Today I’m sharing the next set of cards with you.
Another slide show for you. This project uses the Hello December Project Life Accessory pack for every page. Here are a few details on these pages:
December 7 – Gold Glitter card from the accessory pack
December 8 – Perfect Pines Framelits and the Christmas Greetings Thinlits are used to dress up one of the cards from the Hello December Card Collection – each person had a different card for this page.
December 9 – I used the Holly Jolly Greetings snowflake to create an emboss resist background.
December 10 – I used a cellophane bag and the sequins from the accessory pack to create a shaker pocket.
December 11 – the wooden Snowflake Elements are a simple addition to a stamped background piece
December 12 – quick and easy one of the cards from the card collection and the number sticker from the accessory pack
December 13 – put some Designer Series paper behind a die cut window frame. The gold glitter word COZY is part of the accessory pack
Perhaps I need to go back to my earlier post and add a little more detail – I don’t think I did that when I first posted it. Enjoy your week. I’ll be ending the week with several events – a Wrapping Up the Holiday class on Friday, a team meeting on Saturday and then on Sunday afternoon we will be putting together our Watercolor Wishes card kit that were purchased to help support the Engraved Orphan Ministry.
Have a great week!
Sep 10, 2014 | Birthday, Gift Box Punch Board |
The new Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog which went live on August 28th has a brand new Gift Box Punch Board. One day I played around with it and made every size listed on the board – there are 15 different ones –
Then I decided to play around with it to create a little project for my August team meeting and I wanted to do the closure a little different. I used the Sea Street Designer Series Paper for these.
One one side I folded the flaps outward and then stapled them to the inside folds using our new Stampin’ Up! Stapler! Also in the Holiday Catalog – I’ve been using it a lot already.
The other two flaps were pulled up, hole punched, and ribbon pulled through. It could be like a hanger – you could make smaller boxes and they could be little tree ornaments or hang them on a garland for a countdown to Halloween or Christmas – fill them with something fun.
I decorated these boxes with the stamps from the Amazing Birthday stamp set. Check back tomorrow I hope to have another Alaska post and another stamping post. See you then.
