12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop- Day 12

Hey Crafty Friends-

For my final project I pulled out the Cricut and cut a snowflake for my focal point. SNOWMANY HUGS CARD!

I layered the snowflake over 2 different snowflake patterned paper and finished off the card with twine and the Snowmany Hugs stamp from My Creative Time. Simple and sweet!

Well we have come to the end of the hop. I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed making them. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 11

Only 2 days left and I made so many "projects" so i decided to go with a card for this one. I LOVE IT!

 I used DCWV Mrs. Claus' Kitchen for the card. I added white cardstock punched with Martha Stewart's Doily punch. Used dimensional stickers for the gingerbread man and frosting bag. I found theses cute little "cookie cutter" buttons at Hobby Lobby. Added some ribbon and twine. And finally used Stampin Up Curly Cute stamp set to emboss the sentiment in white. I'm really happy with how it came out. Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 10

Hey Crafty Friends-

With it coming down to the wire I decided to once again go with a simple craft idea that will please my kids. WRAPPED CHOCOLATE BARS!

Wrap your bar in decorative paper of choice. Add ribbon, a tag, a bow, and some bling and you are finished. Kiddos will love it. Make an ordinary gift special!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 9

Hey Crafty Friends-

For today's project I decided to create something to help me with my Christmas wrapping. A
GIFT CARD HOLDER

I used the same design that I did for a Christmas card that I loved and turned it into a gift card holder shaped like a present. It's very simple. Just make a pocket for the bottom and a more narrow pocket for the top that's slightly longer than the bottom using cardstock of your choice. Embellish with a bow, stickles, brads, or whatever you like.

When you remove the top from your "present" the gift card will be revealed. This card happens to be attached to a card base but you can do the same thing for credit card sized cards just by sizing down.

I hope you enjoyed today's project.....Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 8

Hey Crafty Friends-

Another pink and blue Christmas idea. This layout was really fun to do. I love snowflakes....can you tell?

I used a some papers and chipboard frames I had and added a few digital images I printed from Pink Paislee's blog. They recently hosted a Winter Wonderland Blog Event and had great project ideas and free downloads. I hope you like the layout and thanks for stopping by.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 7

Hey Crafty Friends-

Does Christmas have to be red and green....NO WAY! How about sweet pink and blue snowflakes on a CUPCAKE TOPPER!

I started with a snowflake tag and jazzed it up a bit. I added the pink snowflake in the center, popped up on a foam dot. Then popped the whole thing up on top of pink glitter cardstock. The edges were inked slightly for dimension. A little bling and some stickles to glitz it up. And finally a double twine bow at the top. Glue it to a toothpick and you have the perfect topper for your cupcakes!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 6

This treat is a little simpler than some of my others but is perfect for making in bulk for children's school parties or Christmas party favors. SNOWFLAKE SUCKERS

I cut a snowflake at 2 inches from the Winter Lace Cricut cartridge using gray and blue glitter paper. Layered them together and embellished with clear stickles. I then used a glue dot to stick a sucker on the back of the snowflake. Covered it with a cellophane bag and tied a bow out of striped cord. A cute, simple way to jazz up your lollipops!
