It's a Wrap Holidays

Today's project is a Valentine's Matchbox decorated with a belly band I made using the It's a Wrap Holidays stamp set and Red Glimmer Paper.  I rolled the I {Love} Love Wheel over the Concord Crush card stock to create a tone-on-tone pattern for the box and stamped mailing labels with the Valentine's wrapper to cover the chocolate nuggets. 

Don't forget...the It's a Wrap Holidays set is only available through January 3rd in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  To see items that will be carried over from the Holiday Mini, click on the link...

Stitched Stockings Baby Booties

Hope your Christmas was wonderful!  Mine was very nice and I'm a little sad it's over, but it's good to be back in my stamping room again :)  The Holiday Mini Catalog period is winding down and I wanted to show you a non-Christmas idea using the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set and Stocking Builder Punch...it makes cute baby booties too!  This punch will not be carried over, and there are just a few days left to order from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  You can contact me to order the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set and Stocking Builder Punch or Order Online.  The last day to order from the Holiday Mini Catalog is January 3rd!

To create the booties, I cut off the cuff of the stamped stocking image and trimmed the stocking down a little, then re-attached the cuff with SNAIL Adhesive.  I tied a bow with white Baker's Twine and added a couple of pom poms with glue dots...I'm thinking these pom poms are  little bigger than I'd have liked, but they're the only size had.  Still very cute! 

Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack for great discounted products...the Clearance Rack Blitz ends January 5th!!

Cookie Plates

Two cookie plates left to deliver!  Just thought I'd show you the finished product :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Gift Bag

I used a retail shopping bag to create this Christmas gift bag.  I covered the store's name with Brights designer paper and some Scallop Dots Ribbon, then added my poinsettia gift tag to dress it up.  I also replaced the handles that were on it with Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon...much prettier! 

I know I've probably shown this poinsettia too many times in the past month, but I'm out of time, so I'm using what I have :)  Plus, I really like it!!!

Stitched Stocking Gift Tag

The Stitched Stocking Stamp Set with the coordinating Stocking Builder Punch was used to create this quick Christmas gift tag.  The stamp set, punch and glimmer paper are all Holiday Mini Catalog items available until January 3rd. 

Just a heads up... Some mini catalog items are carried over to new catalogs.  However, Stampin' Up! has decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch.  Be sure to get it while you still can!!

Stitched Felt Snowflake Gift Card

I'm making these snowflake gift cards to tie onto cookie plates I'm making for some neighbors and friends.  The felt snowflake is from the Winter Wishes Stitched Felt, which is in the Holiday Mini Catalog, along with the Silver Glimmer Paper.  I punched a flower from the glimmer paper with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch and added a rhinestone brad to the center of the snowflake.   I love the sparkle :)

Pennant Parade Christmas Card

I made some quick Christmas trees with the Pennant Parade Stamp Set and Petite Pennants Builder Punch for this card.  The Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon made a pretty scallop edge above the striped designer paper.

Christmas Gift Card Holder

Today's project is a Gift Card Holder made with the Two Tags Die.  The little gingerbread man is from the Got Treats Stamp Set. I used the striped Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper with a Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border for the Background, then cut the gingerbread man out and attached him to the Scallop Circle with a dimensional.  I love the little pearl buttons!  Here's the inside...

There's even a message under the gift card :)

This cute idea came from Becky Robinson, a fellow demonstrator.  I love it!!  Thanks for sharing this Becky :)

Elastic Band Bookmark & Notebook

This is a covered composition notebook with matching bookmark.  I love the way this turned out!  I think the Cherry Cobbler and Concord Crush color combination is so striking!!

I used the Fun Flowers Die and 5-Petal Flower Punch for the flower, a Spice Cake Designer Button, Antique Brad, Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and an elastic hair band to create the bookmark.  The composition notebook is covered with Whisper White Card Stock (front and back) decorated with the Baroque Border Wheel and Lovely Letters Alphabet. The binding was made with a strip of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and the Scallop Border Punch.

This was last month's club project and I intended to have a video to go with this post, but time is flying, so I've provided the written instructions below.  The Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and Spice Cake Designer Button for the bookmark are only available in the Holiday Mini Catalog until January 3rd, and they're too pretty to miss!  Contact me or place your orders online before the Holiday Mini expires.

Here are the step-by-step written instructions and supply list...
