Don't Stop Believin' because Santa's bringing treats in his bag , This Gleaming Christmas - Simply Stampin' Saturday

Santa Bag filled with candy!

This cute Santa bag is created with the All Dressed Up Dies.  I used Real Red for the body of the Santa suit.  The straps and belt were cut from the same die, using Real Red and Basic Black.  The buttons were cut from a die in this set as well, using the Brushed Metallic paper.    I used the second Stitched Oval shape to cut a tag in Whisper White for Santa's face.  Santa's face was stamped with Black Momento Ink and shaded in with Real Red Blender pens. The Basic Black scalloped oval is from the Layering Ovals Dies.  To give a more authentic texture, I unrolled a cotton ball and adhered the strips of cotton to the Santa hat and suit.

This card is made from the Gleaming Christmas Bundle.  I used the Designer Specialty Paper to punch two ornaments for the card front.  The card base is 4 1/4" x 11" Pretty Peacock.  I created a Copper Foil frame with the Stitched rectangle dies which I would later place a piece of 5" x 3 3/4" Whisper White on top.  First, I stamped the bough branch from the Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set in Pretty in Peacock and shaded the branch using the Bronze Blends Pen.  Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the two ornaments punched from the Ornament punches.  The sentiments on the front of the card and images inside of the card were stamped from the Gleaming Christmas Stamp Set in Pretty in Peacock ink.

November Paper Pumpkin Alternative - A Gingerbread House

 FACEBOOK LIVE FOR DETAILS

This cute Paper Pumpkin Kit has the ingredients to make many gift tags and encasements.  I took two of the tag coverings and used the scored tab to adhere one tag covering to another tag covering.  Prior to that, I used the Brick embossing folder to put a brick texture on the Gingerbread house walls.  I also embossed a small piece of Cinnamon Cider that was cut to cover over the door to the back of the house.   For the bottom of the box, I used a 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" piece of Cinnamon Cider scored at 5/8" all the way around.  Burnish the score lines and trim the side tabs to create a base with four sides.  Wrap the Gingerbread house pieces around the base to create an open box. I used the Umbrella Builder Punch to cut candy canes from diagonally patterned DSP to adorn the back of the house.  Punch a small (1/16") hole on both sides of the house apex to slide the Play Pets Combo Ribbon through it.  After placing candy or other treats into the box, pinch the sides of the house at the top to enable the ribbon to close the top of the box.

Thursday Sip & Stamp - Lip Balm Case & Evergreen Forest Foil Embossed Card

Evergreen Forest Trees Embossed in Green Foil with Colored Embossing

I made this card with Thick Whisper White Cardstock for the base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2")  The next layer is made from 5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White and a layer of  2 1/4" x 4" Green Foil, embossed together with the Evergreen Embossing Folder.  The Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon is wrapped around the embossed layer with a simple knot in front. I used the large Stitched Circle to stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Means More Stamp Set.  I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment first in Shaded Spruce Ink and then again with Versamark Ink, finishing it off with Clear Embossing Powder.  The card is finished with a sprinkle of Holiday Rhinestones for accent.

Simply Stampin' on Saturday for Seasonal Gifts and Greetings

 

Fruit Cake Gift Box

I found this small block of Fruit Cake at Walmart and thought it would be the perfect size, economical gift for an office mate, teacher, etc.  I customized the measurements specifically for this fruit cake.

Begin with the basic box, Cherry Cobbler, cut to 8" x 10 1/4"; score along the 8" side, at 1/2", 2 1/4",, 4 1/4", and 6".  Turn tot he 10" side so the 1/2" strip is at the top of the scoring tool, then score at 1 3/4", 7 3/4", 8 3/4" and 9 1/2".  Cut along the score lines to create the top flaps and bottom flaps.  (Refer to FB video.) 

I used the Pine Tree Punch to create four trees from Mossy Meadow Card Stock.  Score each tree down the middle, fold and adhere the backs together, finishing off by adhering the first tree back with the fourth tree back to create the 3D Christmas Tree.  The tree trunks are folded outward so  they are used as the tabs to adhere the tree onto the lid of the box.

Season Greetings Holiday Card

This one stamp set, Snowfront, creates an image of a professionally sketched winter scene.

I used 4 1/4" x 11" Pretty Peacock as the base of the card, layered with a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, with the top layer of 5" x 3 3/4" Whisper White.  After stamping the wintery scene in Smoky Slate, I wrapped the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the WW piece before adhering it to the Plaid Tidings card front.

Lindt Truffle Slider Box and Snowman Season Shaker Card

Facebook Live Video is available for detailed instruction to make these projects.

This cute slider box is so easy to make.  The measurements are just right to cradle a delicious bar of the Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar.  Begin with an 8" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper.  Score it from the short side at 1/4", 1", 2 1/8", and 2 7/8".  Put adhesive on the 1/4" strip and adhere it to the opposite end to create the slider cover.  The box for this box was made from 9 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Mossy Meadow and score all four sides at 3/4".  Burnish all scorelines and trim the tabs to fold and create the box. 

 This shaker card's secret is that it is made using the Clear Cello Envelope to contain the snowflake sequins.  The card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Balmy Blue cardstock.  The front cover of the card is made with a 5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White.  I used the Snowman Season Stamp Set to stamp the images using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I used a few Blender markers to add a little color to the snowmen's noses, caps, etc.  Then sliding this card into a cello envelope, I added the snowflake sequins.  I used regular clear tape to adhere the folded flaps to the back of the card.  Next, using the Tear & Tape, I attached the piece to the front of the base card.  I used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to create the snowflakes from Balmy Blue Glitter paper.  The label base is a piece from Stitched So Sweetly label dies and the sentiment is stamped on a stitched rectangle from the same die set. The snowflakes and label adhere directly onto the clear cello envelope.

Curvy Christmas - Thinking of You at Christmas

 

Card base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Mossy Meadow

Two pieces of Very Vanilla - 4" x 5 1/4" 

(one for inside sentiment and one for outside base layer)

Poinsettia Place DSP - 5 1/4" x 4" (I use the leftover piece to make another card)

Use the perforated curvy line die to fit the top of the card, leaving the sentiment and line of trees visible. Adhere curvy edged DSP to the Very Vanilla  and then wrap the Braided Linen Trim around the top, tying off with a bow.  (The Braided Linen Trim will be available for sale on January 4, 2021.)

Stamp the small pine cone and use the outline die to cut it out.  Then die cut the detailed pine cone to layer on top of the stamped image.  Die cut the small branch of pine leaves.
