Adorable Treat bags!

Look at these adorable little treat bags Karen made for her Club gals last night! They were filled with yummy Christmas  wrapped chocolates.  

She used the All is Bright designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  The Stitched Shapes framelits were also used for the handle.  

The Gingerbread men are from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder punch; both from the Annual catalog. So very cute!

Here's a link to the template, video and directions on my blog.

Christmas Tags ideas; super fun to make!

Usually we make only cards at my monthly Card Clubs but this month I was inspired to try something new; Christmas tags!  And they were a hit!  It sure livens up my gifts when I add home made tags to them. I bet you still have time to make a few using products you have on hand!  

Here are the three tags they made this month: 

I chose to use the trendy Festive Farmhouse designer series paper.  Have you noticed? Plaids are sooo in style!  And we also had the Festive Farmhouse cotton twine that pairs with it so wonderfully.  

The designer paper is cut at 2" X 4" and fits in our Scalloped Tag Topper punch easily.  I love this punch for tags!  Next I added either a 2" punched circle or a 2 1/2" X 2" rectangle (Wood Textures DSP) before adding the remaining punched pieces.  Actually I used two of my very favorite punches here; the Sprig punch and the Tailored Tag punch. They are easily among my top favorite punches lately! 

The stamp set is Christmas Pines and the ink is Cherry Cobbler with a bit of Garden Green on the left tag.  Red rhinestones finish them off beautifully!  Even though I used Cherry Cobbler ink and designer paper, these rhinestones will work! 

See all of the products below and here is my Project Sheet for these tags.

Christmas Traditions Punch Box; my product of the week!

 

The Christmas Traditions Punch Box is 40% off and now just $27! The box includes a stamp set, a punch, clear block and two ink spots. What a great deal and a great gift idea too!

I love our stamps and coordinating punches.  They take the guess work out of stamping.  Just add paper!

 

 

I made a few tags with these stamps and punches, adding circle punches and some All is Bright Designer Series Paper.  The Tag Topper punch is another favorite punch of mine, especially at this time of year when I use so many tags.  

Tip: When adding your twine or ribbon at the top, fold it in half and insert the fold through the front.

 

Here's a card I made for a swap earlier this year.  I love the simple layout that makes the greeting the star of the card.   

 

 

It's super easy to create both tags and cards with this fun box.  Get yours while you still can. Here's a link to see it in my store.

Combine this with a few more items to reach the $50 mark and get two free pre-cut card kits and a package of the Artisan Pearls and one or more of my FREE card tutorials! 

 

Candy Cane Season!

Look at this cute swap card I received; I wish I knew the name of the creator.  It may have been with the card but it's lost now.  If you know who made it please share so I can give credit. 

It features the Candy Cane Season bundle from the Holiday catalog which is retiring.  The punch is on sale for $13.50 during the Year End Closeout.

So cute!  The Stitched Shapes and Ovals Collection framelits were used along with the Festive Farmhouse designer paper which so many of us have fallen in love with.  It's still available; not sold out yet....!  But it is retiring; so if you don't have it yet you know what to do!

Cute Gift bag with handle! Plus; make your ribbons any color!

Marilyn made these CUTE little gift bags for her club members this month.  She found the pattern online from Angela McKay.  

It's about 2 1/2" wide X 3" tall plus the handle.  It fits 4 Ghirardelli chocolates nicely!  Here she colored her vanilla & gold ribbon with the Cherry Cobbler blends marker!  We have to remember that we can match our neutral ribbons with any of our Blends markers.  (Watch my video on this technique below.)
Stampin' Up! is all about matching.  It's kind of addictive; I call it 'matchy matchy' and I am proud to be a 'Stampin' Up! snob'!  It just has to coordinate!  

She used a few of the Designer papers in the Holiday catalog including the Festive Farmhouse, Santa's Workshop and Joyous Noel. 

The greeting is from the Dashing Deer stamp set.  She used the Stitched Shapes framelits along with the 1 1/2" circle punch for her greeting. 

Below is the template to make this sweet little bag although I used a 1 3/8" circle punch instead of a 1 1/2" circle punch.  Watch my Facebook Live replay where I share how to make it. 

Cut a piece of designer paper or card stock at 4" X 8" and score as shown below.  Adhere the stitched circles at the top and use a 1 3/8" circle punch to punch the hole out for the 'handle' at the top.  This 'handle' using the Stitched Shapes circle die-cut is 1 7/8" wide.
