Merry Christmas - Gift Card Holder and Treat

Good Morning!  Today I have a gift card holder I made for my Mom to show you.  I used My Creative Time's Gift Card Holder Die which you can see here.   Emma is having a fabulous sale right now so it's the best time to pick up some stamps and dies you have had on your wish list!  I tied the bow to the front cover so it can be opened without pulling it apart.

Supplies:

Yuletide Paper Pad  -  K&Co

Angel Charm -  Dress It Up

Sheer Ribbon and Berries  -  Michaels

Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink

Jolees Crystals

Gift Card Sentiments Stamp Set  -  My Creative Time

Next is a little treat holder.  I made this using the Lollipop Holder Die which you can see here.  I put a little bag of Hershey Kisses inside instead of a lollipop.

 Supplies:

Yuletide Paper Pad  -  K&Co

Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies  -  My Creative Time

All Around Christmas Stamp Set  -  My Creative Time

Day 10 - The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time

Good Morning and Welcome to Day 10 of The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time!  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's Blog. If not you can start at the beginning here.

Today I made a Christmas Stocking hanger that holds some cute Candy Cane Chapstick.  It's amazing how much inspiration you can get just walking around a drug store! Hehehe!  I used My Creative Time's Curly Label Die, Happy Homecoming Stamp Set and XL Label Borders Stamp Set which are all available here.

The stocking is from Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge cut at 5".  I cut two of the shadow feature so I could use brads to pinch the front piece of the stocking in order to make space for the chapstick to slide in.  Then the extra shadow cut covers the backs of the brads on the other side.

I covered the brads on the front with boa and extra cuts of the toe and heel.

My Supplies:

Curly Label Die, Happy Homecoming and XL Label Borders Stamp Sets

My Creative Time

Tis The Season Paper Stack  -  DCWV

Mambi Sheets  -  Me & My Big Ideas

Pinefeather and Pure Poppy Cardstock  -   Papertrey Ink

Chapstick

Day 9 - The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time

Welcome to Day 9 of The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time.  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's Blog.  If not you can start from the beginning here!

Today I made some gift packaging that can be used for candy or small gifts.  I used Miss Emma's All Around Christmas Stamp Set along with her Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies.

  

I used the Life's A Party Cricut Cartridge for to box cut at 8".  I usually hide the score line marks on the image but there are a lot of them on this box.  I left them in this time because it was too confusing to score without them.  The Velcro dots are attached with hot glue so they stay on securely.

Other Supplies I Used:

All Around Christmas Stamp Set and

Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies  -  My Creative Time

Sugar Plums Paper Pad  -  Recollections

Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks

Marachino and Peapod Twine  -  The Twinery

Day 4 - The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time

Good Morning!  Welcome all my friends to day 4 of The 12 Days of Christmas with My Creative Time.  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's Blog.

For today's project I dressed up a plain gift bag.  I even wandered into the jewelry section and picked up some chain and barrel clasps to make my own attachment for the tag.  It would be easier to tie it with twine or ribbon but I wanted a little something shiny and different this time!

  

To make the tag very sturdy I cut a coaster from Papertrey Ink with the XL Label die.  These coasters are sturdy but lightweight, thin and cut beautifully with Emma's dies.

Supplies I Used:

XL Label die, XL Label borders, Keepin' It Classy Stamp set

My Creative Time

Jolly by Golly paper  -  Cosmo Cricket

Boa and Sheer Ribbon  -  Michaels

Glue Gun, Jolees Crystals and IRock

Spun Sugar Distress Ink

Jewelry Chain and Barrel Clasps

Eyelet and Crop-A-Dial

Day 3 - The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time

Hello!  Today is day 3 of The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time.  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's blog.

Today I have made some very quick inexpensive gifts you can make a bunch of in no time.  I intend to use these for all the nice people I see every day that I would like to remember at the holidays. The post office people, the secretaries at the kids school, my coffee lady etc.

I purchased a bucket of biscotti from my warehouse store.  When I figured it out it cost me only about 50 cents each for these little gifts.  You can get 3 of these biscotti sleeves out of 1 piece of 12 X 12 piece of paper.

 For the tags I used My CreativeTime's Curly Label die, Inspiring Words, Inspiring Words Accents and All Around Christmas.

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for this cut.  It is the 4th row down, 1st image on the left. I used my Gypsy to size it correctly by unlinking the height and width.  4.25" wide and 11.25" high.

I scored the fold, used Red Tape on the edges,  put one glue dot on the back of the cookie wrapper to secure it nicely to the inside of the package, wrapped a pretty ribbon around it, added the tag with sentiment and done!

Supplies I Used:

Emma's Fabulous Curly Label die and Stamp Sets!

Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags,  Boxes and More

Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks

Terrifically Tacky Tape

Glue Dots

Lady Bug Red and Tuxedo Black Ink Pads - Memento
