Last Minute Stocking Stuffer Idea

Friday, 18 December 2020

It's only a week to Christmas! Do you need some last minute stocking stuffer ideas or maybe cute gifts for neighbours?  My project today is perfect for that - add a package of hot chocolate and a candy cane or maybe a chocolate bar and you're all set!
The melting frosty is a perfect stamp to use for this packaging!  I CASE'd my project from from a project by Terri Walker.



This packaging is easy to make - it's half a piece of cardstock (4 1/4" x 11") scored at 2" and 5 1/2".  Then decorate!  


You can check out my YouTube video with tips and tricks to put this together.

  12. Stamp frosty image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock and colour using Stampin' Blends - I used Black, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue.
  13. Fussy cut around image using Paper Snips
  14. Adhere to the small flap using Dimensionals
  15. Stamp sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock

  • Ornamental Envelopes

    Sunday, 13 December 2020

    Today I'm sharing a card featuring the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle.  This is part 2 of the card I shared on my last post - I stamped the ornaments on Real Red cardstock using Real Red ink and then cut out the ornaments for that card and used the cut out ornaments for this card!  


    Isn't this pretty!  I added a Shimmery Crystal Effects to each of the ornaments to make them shine like pretty red balls on the Christmas tree.  


    Instructions

    1. Cut Thick Whisper White cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and fold in half to form card base
    2. Stamp ornaments using Real Red ink on Real Red cardstock.
    3. Cut out using die
    4. Cover each of the ornaments with Shimmery Crystal Effects and let dry.
    5. Stamp branches using Shaded Spruce ink about 1/2" from the top of the card base.
    6. Stamp berries using Real Red ink.
    7. Stamp lines using Real Red ink
    8. Adhere ornaments using Dimensionals
    9. Tie 3 small bows and adhere to ornaments using Glue Dots.
