Last Minute Christmas Gifts

Hello I thought I would share with you today some of the quick small Christmas gifts I have been creating during the lead up to Christmas.

The first are my little Santas for my grandnephews and grandnieces. 

 I simply cut a 5cm x 21cm strip of card stock punched, both ends with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and scored along the long side at 9cm from each end. 

I stamped Santa from the Be Jolly stamp set, coloured him with my blend pens, fussy cut him out then adhered him to the front of the 5cm strip. I then die cut a hole for his tummy. I needed a hole in the front and back to accomodate a Lindt chocolate. 

 My next projects are gifts for family and stamping friends. I have created some pretty polished pink poinsettias using the Poinsettia Dies and the gorgeous 2021-2023 Shimmer Vellum. 

Using the die cut poinsettias I have added them to gift tags large and small.

For the small poinsettia I have just used up my scraps as I couldn't bear to waste the beautiful paper.

Here I have added the poinsettias to the top of our 31/8" x 31/8" acetate card boxes adding some pink Lindt chocolates to coordinate. 

For this project I have decorated a candle jar 

I have had such fun with these colours this year inspired by the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Paper I couldn't not pass up creating a gift box of tags with the Whimsy Wonder Suite.

 I have packaged them in a Stampin' Up! C6 Acetate Card Box.

I found adding the ribbon to the tag tops was a little bulky so I have folded and tied the ribbon and nestled it in the box with the cards to create a pretty presentation. 

 Notice a little sneak peak? The Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer ribbon available next month in our new January-June Mini Catalogue.

Below are the products I have used today just click on the product thumbnail to take you to my Online Store if you wish to purchase. Be quick though as supplies from the Mini catalogue are selling out fast as this catalogue will end at the end of this month.

Bye for now. 

Please stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas.

Global Design Project 113 Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome! I feel very privileged to have been fortunate enough to be chosen as a guest designer for the Global Design Project Colour Challenge.

The colours chosen for the challenge are Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and Pear Pizzaz. 

 These colours are close to my heart as they are the colours of my little crafty webpage elf. Here he is to say hello. 

For the Colour challenge I have used the Tags and Trimmings Bundle to create a gift card holder. If you were to turn the stocking over you would discover it is actually a pillow box. Perfect for a small gift, gift card or chocolate.

These thinlit dies are so versatile if you cut 2 of the pillow box dies you can create a pillow box by itself which would be suitable for gift giving all year round. With this little box I have double punched out the centre with the Everyday Label Punch and adhered a piece of Window Sheet to the inside to reveal the boxes contents.

Or by placing the cutting edge of the stocking thinlit just left of your folded cardstock you could take your stocking to the next level and create a card. 

The pocket on the inside was made by trimming the pillow box sides and bottom edge back and scoring 1/4" around the 3 trimmed sides, folding along the score lines and attaching to the inside of the card with Tear and Tape.
I twisted some pipe cleaners together for my candy cane and added a chocolate Santa.

 


  I think these little stockings would be a perfect gift for family, friends or as teachers thank you gifts. The Trim Your Stocking set of dies come with so many thinlits, 19 in total, and can be purchased separately or as a bundle with a coordinating stamp set Tags and Trimmings. Or you can purchase the stamp set separately as well. Just click on the pictures at the bottom of this page and they will take you straight to my Online Store.

 Photographed here is the set of projects ready for Christmas gift giving.
Thank you for visiting me today. Pop on over to the Global Design Project page to see other many more cards the very talented stampers have made for this challenge.
Happy stamping.
