Christmas Countdown (4 weeks)

Check back every Friday until Christmas for more FUN Christmas gift giving ideas!

I'm so excited to share a few of the items I have been working on this week.

1. This cute jar I decorated for a friend. Can you guess what jar I used? I used the Sparkly & Bright Stamp Set ($17.95, Item#115346) , Garden Green and Chocolate Chip Card Stock, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Ribbon, Scallop Circle Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, and Merry Moments Designer Series Paper



2. These are some fun canisters I decorated using the Sparkly & Bright Stamp Set ($17.95, Item#115346). I just love this stamp set!. I filled the canisters with red and green M&M's. I thought you could decorate a Tree with them or tie them around a liter of pop you are giving a way for a xmas gift. I bet you are wondering where I go these canisters, well so am I. I've had them laying around my stamp room for several years, but I think I ordered them from a mail order company.


3. Some more FUN Gift card Purses. I sold out of these at the Kemmerer Kraft Fair. So I've made some more for the upcoming Kraft Fairs. As you can see I just used Designer Series Paper (some of the patterns are retired), the Top Note Die Cut and some punches.

Happy Holidays

Over the past week I have been creating these CUTE Gift boxes for some upcoming Craft Fairs. I found the Idea and Instructions on Beck Roberts blog spot (click here). In each gift box I included six 3"X3" gift cards and of course I stamped matching envelopes and 3 chocolate Hersey nugget bars wrapped in match DSP.

Christmas Countdown ( 7 weeks)

Check back every Friday until Christmas for more FUN Christmas gift giving ideas!

I made this Christmas Count down last year. My kids had so much fun opening each box and finding a treat inside (from chocolate nuggets, little toys, Xmas ornaments, money and snowflake necklaces for the girls). They have already started asking if I was going to get out the Christmas Countdown this year. It's going to be a fun family tradition each year.

I have countdown kits available if you are interested, just call me
$15 per kit plus the cost of vinyl Christmas count down (small, real red) plus any shipping cost (if you can't pick it up from my house)

Each kit includes
* framed piece of wood
* 6 - 6X6 sheets of Designer Series Paper (Kraft, Real Red and Old Olive)
* over 3 yds of 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red)
* Instructions and one sample of how to make your own box

What YOU will need to purchase in addition to finish your count down calendar
* Vinyl Christmas Count Down (Item # 114831, $19.95)
* White Acrylic Paint
* Small boxes from a Kraft store, dollar store or paper supply store, or I include instructions to make your own boxes
