12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop~ Day 11

Good Morning Everyone!!

This is day 11 of 12 ...... OMG only 1 more day :(
you should have come from Anita's,

if not head over to Sylvia to start the hop...

you are going to want to see it all!

Today's project is a very simple gift tag

I started with a Kraft card stock base cut at 5" that I downloaded from

Lori Whitlock

I hid the hole that was in the file and used my hole punch for a smaller hole.

The adorable cup of cocoa is from My Scrap Chick~ Snowman Soup File

I cut all the layers using PTI card stock and inked all the edges in matching pigment ink.

For the marshmallows and white trim I ran those pieces through my cuttlebug using the swiss dots folder.

The Sentiment is from Paper Smooches~Sentiment Sampler set

and the crinkle ribbon is from

3 Girl Jam in Hot Chocolate (how fitting right?!?!)

I plan on attaching this to a gift set as a teacher's gift. I love making my own Peppermint Cocoa and I think this would look adorable on that :)

Good Morning Everyone!!

This is day 9 of 12
you should have come from Anita's,

if not head over to Sylvia to start the hop...

For today's project I have my other son's class gift to share.

I made this for hi 5th grade class and knew they would get a KICK out of it :)

Snowman Poop!

How "stinkin" cute is this?!?!?

I got the idea, the snowman poop image and the inside poem

from Whimsie Doodles , It was a freebie download

and too cute to pass up!

Here is the poem that gets put inside....LOL

My son's love this!

So to make this, I used The Cutting Cafe's Tic Tac Box cut files

The file was for a regular size Tic Tac box and I could not find them for the life of me...

So I changed the size by stretching the height and width in SCAL and it is a perfect fit for the Big Pack now :)

The dp is from DCWV~ The Merry Christmas Stack

Ribbon is from my stash.....thin satin green ribbon

The sentiment is again from Whimsie Doodles and I punched it out with my circle punch.

I added My Creative Time's~ Stitched Scallop die to be back and then just pop dotted the whole image to the front of the box.

Tie the ribbon and you are done!

I currently have 8 done and just purchased the last 16 tic tac boxes to finish the others.

They are super easy and the outcomes are adorable!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop~ Day 7

Good Morning Everyone!!

This is day 7 of 12
you should have come from Anita's,

if not head over to Sylvia to start the hop...you are going to want to see it all!

For my project today I wanted to get a head start on my boy's gifts to their classes....

This is what I came up with.

I know there have been alot of these floating around blogging world but they are so super easy to do!

I have all 21 done for my youngest son's class.

Plus more for other friends kiddos.

So details of this project...

The plastic bags I picked up at my local stamping store

I filled them with the holiday m & m's in alternating colors (approx 25 in each)

The sentiment stamp is from My Creative Time~All Around Christmas stamp set that I stamped on a 1" circle punch out

I colored the tree in with my copics

and

attached my sentiment to a scallop circle,

again from My Creative Time~ scallop and stitched circle  die set.

The whole set was then attached to a 2" black circle punch out.

To attach my sentiment to the candy stick I used Twinery twine and satin ribbon.

(the twine is in the back)

A nice big bow completed the whole project.

Do you like these?
