Cafe Gift Bags

I love these little Café Bags, great to package little treats.

 

I love how they are lined so that you can put cookies and handmade treats inside and they won't make the bag greasy on the outside.

 

Here I used some of the Trim the Tree DSP which is a very heavyweight Kraft cardstock, perfect for making boxes with.

 

I stamped a "Merry Christmas" greeting from the "Merry Everything" stamp set and punched out with the co-ordinating "Note Tag" Punch then attached with a Stampin' Up! mini peg.

 

The Thick Bakers Twine is in Old Olive and can be found in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.

 

 

I hope you like my little treat packaging and come back soon for some more Christmas creations.

Gift Box Punch Board Box Christmas Packaging

I love how quick and easy it is to create a box using the new

 

Gift Box Punch Board from Stampin' Up!

 

Here is made my box using the Trim The Tree Speciality Designer Paper which is AMAZING!  I love how thick the kraft paper/cardstock is, perfect for boxes and bags.  The patterns are gorgeous and the colours are great.

 

The Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen ribbon is gorgeous, ties perfect bows and can be found in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.

 

I created a "lid" for this box, it's not difficult to do and gives a different finish to the usual boxes created with the board.

 

 

I added a tag using the "Note Tag" punch, stamped images using the "Cheerful Christmas" then made another tag using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch with more of the Trim The Tree DSP and pegged my smaller tag to it.

 

Would you like to learn how to use the Gift Box Punch Board and are local to me, why not join one of my classes in the New Year, details to follow soon.

 

I may even do a "Class in the Post" so do come back to find out more.

 

 

 

It's a Wonder, December Wonder!!

I really like the set "December Wonder" in the Autumn/Winter supplement, although it's perfect for using on your Project Life layouts it's just as great on your cards, tags and home décor projects.

 

My colour combo is

 

Real Red

Soft Sky

Lost Lagoon

Garden Green

 

I love lots of images from this set, the lovely Label Frame, the Snowflake and the word "Winter Wonderland" greeting!  Here I used the Christmas Cheer word to fit inside the decorative frame.

 

I have also used the Confetti Stars punch which is so useful, don't think of it as just for Christmas, will be so useful on your boy and man cards.

 

 

Here you can see a closer view of one of the Snowflakes, they are so pretty.

Christmas Gift Money/Treat Packaging

You should know by now how I love to package things, especially inexpensive little treats.

 

This is no exception, hidden in here is a Kit Kat Bar, but you could easily slip in some money or a voucher/gift card.

 

I am loving this patterned paper pack "Nordic Noel", consisting of some gorgeous colours including Real Red and Soft Sky with a little Garden Green.

 

I used a stamp set called "December Wonder" which I love, you can find it in the Autumn/Winter Supplement, but remember these items are only available while supplies last.  I adore the snowflake image.

 

 

Inside I stamped onto a Glassine Bag and adhered it to the pouch with Sticky Strip and added my treat!  Some lovely co-ordinating ribbon held it all together.

Trimming the Tree

I love that Stampin' Up! gave us a Christmas Tree punch and what's even better is that it co-ordinates with a set of stamps called "Festival of Trees".

 

Here I stamped a tree in Lost Lagoon ink onto Lost Lagoon cardstock then used Craft White ink and White Embossing Powder to trim it!  I love heat embossing, such a lovely effect.  Once heated I punched out the tree with the Tree Punch.

 

If you purchase the Stamps and Punch together, you can save yourself a whopping 15% which is a great saving.

 

 

 

The Pear Pizzazz tree to the left is another image from the same set and the greeting is too.

 

I used my Texture Boutique machine to emboss the Pool Party layer with the large Polka Dots.

 

 

I used my Star Punch from the "Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack" and punched out a Silver Glimmer star to top the tree.

 

All in all a pretty easy card to using just one stamp set.

Autumn is here.....

..... the leaves are falling and the nights are getting darker!

 

Hope you had a lovely weekend, I held a class Saturday morning and will share the projects soon, we had lots of rain on Saturday but thankfully we woke to some bright sunlight on Sunday so just in time for the family dog walk, beautiful views and lovely woodland paths, perfect!

 

 

My card today is very autumnal, and could be slightly adapted to make it more masculine

 

I have used the "Four Feathers" and "Fall Fest" stamps with matching framelits dies.

 

I used the "thanks" greeting from the "A Happy Hooray" stamp set and inked it with Soft Suede Ink, punching out with a 1 3/8" Circle Punch then layered with a scalloped circle from Soft Suede cardstock.

 

The used the "Heart Border" punch to create a pretty edge to one side revealing the soft suede base beneath.

 

 

I layered my leaves and feathers stamped in Soft Suede and Crumb cake on top of each other then added a Bakers Twine bow to finish.

 

The background is embossed using the "Zig Zag" Textured Embossing Folder with the Texture Boutique Machine or with a Big Shot if you have one.  I love how cute these little leaves are!

 

I used the Feathers Dies to cut one feather in Champagne Glimmer paper to add a bit of glitz!

 

 

 

Off to a party shortly, looking forward to sharing Stampin' Up!'s amazing product range with all those attending and I will be back soon with what we created.

Festival of Trees

Good morning, another Christmas Card to share with you today.

 

This stamp set "Festival of Trees" is just so easy to use and I love how you can layer the images on top of each other or leave the trees undecorated.

 

My colour combo is

Lost Lagoon

Pear Pizzazz

teamed with Whisper White

 

I embossed the first layer using the large polka dot embossing folder, I love everything spots so this is one of my faves!

 

Using my Big Shot machine I die cut a frame using the "Window Frames" framelit dies in Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then used the co-ordinating Piercing Pack to poke holes around the outside using the template.

 

My greeting came from the "Bright and Beautiful" stamp set, inked up with Lost Lagoon ink.  The ribbon behind can be found in the Autumn/Winter catalogue, I love how everything co-ordinates.

 

 

I stamped the trees onto Lost Lagoon cardstock using the same coloured ink, then with Craft White Ink I stamped the "tinsel" stamp and dipped into my white embossing power and heated using my heat tool.

 

I punched a couple of Silver Stars using the star punch from the "Itty Bitty Accents" punch set and added to the top of the trees.

 

 

I hope you like today's card.
